think and pink

well, i shall share my little project too. i don't know what kind of fabric this is. it feels nice and it is a good weight and the lady at the fabric store agreed with me that this was going to do the job. see that little bit of plaid down there in the corner shot...>>>>>

we're thinking it might make a pretty sash, something we can add later. just for fun.

i know i need to start this yesterday. i know, i know. i am a procrastinator. i thrive under pressure. emma is not like me. she wants her dress now.

so, i was tagged was i?

six word life motto.......

hmmmm

respect, empathize, live and love unconditionally.

that's just off the top of my head. had i the time to REALLY put some thought into it....well...it could be better. thanks blogger buddy elizabeth. now to think of who to pass along this challenge....

one dreamy dress

this dress was my mom's. she would have worn it to a highschool prom back in the late 50's. mom was one of those petite girls. she was always trying to put on weight by consuming many milkshakes at the local after school hangout. i must find a photo of her wearing this.
so, we got to thinking that if emma liked it perhaps she could wear it to her grade 8 grad. i knew it was small and i thought this might be the only chance to use it. unfortunately, emma has already outgrown it by about 2 inches in the bodice. what a shame...the colour is so pretty with her blonde hair....
this means i am back to square one, back to sewing her dream dress. it is similar in colour. maybe i will create a few dainty rosebuds and sneak them in somewhere. we want nanny to know we tried. i know she loved this dress and i am sure she had put it away in hopes of it being worn again. nanny, thank you. we are inspired by it.
