All in all I'm very pleased with the dress and I cannot wait to wear it again!!!<BR/>Thank you for your comment!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595414894907213954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955341194636832101.post-18161089558111105012008-03-26T12:24:00.000-04:002008-03-26T12:24:00.000-04:00Dear Ashley,What a delightful post! I always enjoy...Dear Ashley,<BR/>What a delightful post! I always enjoying reading your writings (and your dear Mommas' too!) You did a beautiful job sewing up your "Regency" dress. I just love the fact that your Momma can make up a new pattern or alter one. The dress is so pretty, as is the seamstress! I dare say you have caught the sewing bug since you shared "that you have not hit the point where I can't stand to sew anything else!" That is a good sign! When I have felt very discouraged about sewing I have said in haste, that I do not think I want to keep trying, but that feeling passes and I pray and continue on. Thankfully it seems to be coming a little easier these days, and I remember to take my time and not get distressed! My husband encouraged me a great deal.<BR/>That dress will be perfect for the Father Daughter Retreat! I know you and you dear Daddy will have a wonderful time! I look forward to seeing photos.<BR/>The hand sewing you did on your dress is excellent! You did a great job! I am a bit of a perfectionist at times too, so I understand just what you mean about seeing all the boo-boos. But, I am sure they are just little things that no one would notice and as my husband tells me, "nothing in this life is perfect." How true! I also realized store bought clothing has lots of mistakes, so do not fret over those little boo-boos, look at your overall dress and how well it turned out!!! Is one of the character skills you learned patience? :) I know that is one I am continually learning, especially when it comes to sewing! <BR/>Your cat, or should I say your Momma's cat, looks so content! I think it is so funny she likes to lay on your projects, and "exert her authority over you!" If I sit on the floor and lay out fabric my beloved Pearl will come lay on it. I do not know why, but she loves to lay on the fabric, patterns, etc.<BR/>I love the picture of you looking out of the window! I am so glad you and your dear Momma had a good visit and added more precious memories to the ones you both already have!<BR/>The last photo is so sweet of the "two peas in a pod!"! I love the verse that came to your mind.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.com
