The Dress

The Dress
Monday March 29

The Dress for the mother of the Groom.
The wedding has come and gone.
To accomplish my goal I had to focus
on what I had to accomplish. I choose
only to have a small amount of outside
distractions to get my goal accomplished.
The goal to make my dress.

My dear daughter in law helped me
pick out the material back in January.
Then I found a pattern on ebay for the
what I was looking for.

A friend of mine helped me work
on putting the dress together.
The dress is lined along with the
bodice. We then decided to add
some glitz which is the jacket. The
sleeves have the scalloped edges
the same as whats on the edge of
the hem. The picture is below.

The waistline we added some jeweled ribbon.
This is also around the neck line of the jacket.

My dearest brother is standing next to me.
It was such a joy to have my family with me.
The wedding was just beautiful.

Frugal Tip

Frugal Tip
Tuesday March 2

Reading is one of my great joys
in life. Due to being a person who
always likes a new book. Being a
frugal woman, I buy my books used.
There are many sources of buying
books used. Half.com, ebay, and Amazon are
three places I buy from.
I do love to go to the bookstore and
look through books but rarely do I buy
from the store. For the price of one book
in the store, you might be able to buy
many used from another source.
Your local library is also a great place.

There is a giveaway that I thought I would mention.
A Joyful Chaos has a giveaway.
