All Dressed Up

All Dressed Up

Wednesday April 1

Victorian Woman in Hat Drawing I like to take one day where I do more relaxing activities. Invite friends over for a cup of tea andhave some fellowship.In our society everyone is always on the go. Doing this helps people to slow down and take time for friends.Even if its having tea with my daughter.We get dressed up and have a nice time. It is always a good idea to take a dayand pamper yourself. Give yourselfa hair treatment. Just enjoy the day!

Day 6 and 7 of Femine Attire

Day 6 of Femine Attire

Saturday March 28

This day was a day of doing paperwork.

I worked on a pile of papers that had just made a life of its own.

Sitting at my desk in the den pretty much till afternoon.

I do feel much better after getting that all sorted out.

I am striving to become a more organized Home Keeper.

I use to tell people I am just not organized, but that was

an excuse. God is helping with this one. I am taking baby

steps. One foot in front of the other.

This is my first year off of medicine. Thanks to God. Just

to tell you a little story. For 10 years of my life I have had

a seizure disorder, it has been difficult. Now, I am new person.

I have been working towards my goal of becoming organized.

With Gods Help! Who knows what you can achieve.

Day 7 of Femine Attire
Sunday March 29

I went to church today. It has been 3 weeks since I have

attended our church service. The one week I had nursery

duty. The other two weeks I had quiet worship with me

and God. It will be a day of just doing restful activities.

Just enjoying the sun we are going to have today, a high of 65.

We will be attending a pot luck dinner tonight at our church.

The mens missions team came back from Central America.

They are going to be showing a video of the trip.

My husband and I are very interested in this.

Alls I can say is what an Amazing God we have.

This is the last day of my post, thank you for spending it with me.

I hope you have enjoyed a little peak into my daily activites.

I can only say I like to dress like a lady

no matter what I am doing.

Day 5 of Femine Attire

Day 5 of Femine Attire

Friday March 28





Today I will be going out. So this morning I am spending
time getting ready. This is my shopping day. I will driving
to about an hour away for my grocery shopping. Since,
I try to only do once a month grocery shopping. Buying
in bulk helps me with staying out of grocery store. Which
I think keeps the unneccesary spending down.
The best part about it is I have time for sewing and gardening.
Two of my favorite things to do. Plus I am home for my
family.

Day 4 of Femine Attire

Day 4 of Femine Attire

Thursday March 26

Today I was up at normal time, 5 am.

Out to feed chickens by 8 am.

Back inside to see my dear husband

off to work. The night before I had packed

his lunch so alls I had to do was pull it out

of the refrigerator.

I am having a visitor today. A young

woman I am helping with planning her

wedding. She is coming by this morning for

a short visit.

While I was waiting for my visitor Rachel

practiced the piano for her recital that

is coming up. I enjoyed some reading time

of poems.

When our visitor arrives we will be reading,

So Much More by the Botkin sisters.

This book is helping girls, young women, and

older women.

It is talking about how we need to look to

our fathers for counsel. As it will be one day

transfered to our husbands. So true.

Plus it always brings up good conversation.

Day 3 of Femine Attire

Day 3 of Femine Attire

Wednesday March 25

Today my dear husband wants me to

get the lettuce in the ground. We are

getting our spring planting done. I figured

its moist outside what a good day for planting.

The garden is starting to come alive here on the

east coast. Although, this is one of our first days

of rain. Not a very wet spring so far.

The beige skirt I am wearing I found at a thrift

store. It works for just being around the house.

I like to wear brown in all various ways.

I like being a lady even when I am out in

Gods kingdom.

Day 2 Femine Attire

Day 2 of Femine Attire

Tuesday March 23

Being a keeper of the home can be so rewarding.

Today I am feeling very relaxed and I am looking

forward to some time sewing. The one rule about

sewing time is I have to make sure the kitchen is

clean and the counter is clear.

This frees my mind up from the acitivites in the

kitchen.

The black skirt I am wearing I

made at christmas time. It is just

a drawstring skirt just a little

different from my jean skirt from

yesterday. It is very free flowing

and this one is also lined.

A keeper of the home has the freedom to use her

time as she chooses.

We can learn to make things and be creative. We just have

to be willing to put the time in.

Day 1 of Femine Attire

Monday March 23

Today is Monday and we are busy this morning.

I went out to feed chickens and ducks at 8 am.
Then I came in and had breakfast. My jean skirt
works perfect today.

Doing outside work in the morning. This skirt gives me plenty of room to
work in.



My jean skirt was one of my first types of skirts I made.
It is a simple skirt and relatively fast one to make.
Below I am working on making some sandwich bread.

My Week of Femine Dress

My Week of Femine Dress

Friday March 20

For the next week I will post pictures of my femine attire. I will be taking a break on my
normal schedule of topics.

Below is a link to Emily's blog, as this was her idea of hearing from other ladies who dress in femine attire.

As a little girl I loved dressing up and always wearing a dress. My mom never
seemed to mind as she was seamstress. I would love to be in the kitchen
with my Mom. Learning to cook at a very early age probably gave me
great pleasure in making things in the kitchen.

This little girl reminds me of my Mom sending me to get apples
for dinner.

In the rose garden

Tuesday July 15, 2008

In the rose garden I go to visit with my Lord.

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.

The things you planned for us no one can recount to you;

were I to speak and tell of them they would to many to declare.

Sacrifice and offerings you did not desire, but my ears you have

pierced burnt offerings and sin offferings you did not require.

Then I said, "Here I am , I have come

it is written about me in the scroll. Psalm 40:5-7

Studying through the bible study David written by Beth Moore,

has been a great eye opener to my Lords heart.

The picture depicts a women going to meet with her Lord. She is

dressed in a beautiful dress to go before her God. That is how

I want to go to the garden. The Lord gets to be with us at our best.

My Hearts Desire

My hearts desire is what came to my mind after reading a blog, A. Victoria. Check her out if you have never read her blog. For the Christian it can be very inspiring. My hearts desire is for my family to run a farm. My husband and I have visited many places we would like to call our own. This past October we went up to Ithaca, New York. We have fallen in love with this area. Here in New Jersey, there is building going on all around us. The horse farm by our home has sold to a developer and so more houses will be built. We have often thought of moving to Kentucky to be by my family. God has not led my family to do this though. Coming closer to being the Godly woman that is another hearts desire. It probably will help me to live out my hearts desire in the Lord. There is a book on the market which I found very helpful to being a help meet to my husband, Created To Be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl. This book has helped me in many ways this year due to the world we live in. If I had a recommended list of books for the Godly Woman this book would be on it. I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statues. Psalm 119:125. God has surrounded me with Godly Sisters which have incouraged me, I am very thankful for this. Here in New Jersey and through the blog world.
