Pause.

Sewing camp is officially over.


Life is back to normal.


Almost.


I have so much to do it's not even funny.


Pause.


Take a deep breath.


Plunge in.


"Be still, and know that I am GOD:
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
-Psalm 46:10

Summer Week In Feminine Dress: Day Six


Skirt: TJ Maxx
Shirt: Target
Necklace: Sally Jean

It appears I never took a picture of my Day Four outfit, sorry about that. I wore a pink linen tiered skirt from TJ Maxx and a brown t-shirt from Target. The photo above was taken after working at the church all afternoon setting up the wedding reception, hence the tired look on my face and the water on my shirt!

Spring Week In Feminine Dress: Day Six

I can't believe the week is almost over!


Today I wore my panel skirt, a blouse from Belk and the same shoes and purse as yesterday. I spent the morning shopping with a friend and the afternoon (drum roll please) cleaning out my sewing closet.

Look! There's nothing on the floor!!!

Spring Week In Feminine Dress: Day Five

Afternoon all! We went out to the quilt store today and Mom took today's picture while we were there.
I think I was talking to someone when she took the picture.
My dress and flip-flops are from Target and my bag was a very exciting yard sale find.
I'm thinking of posting the recipe I used to make Mary Laurence's birthday cake a little later so I'll see you then!

Greetings to all! It's Week In Feminine Dress over at the Sense and Sensibility message forum and I am very excited to be able to participate this time!

So, here is my outfit for today!
It was rather dreary outside today, cool and wet.
Skirt: Thrift Store
Top: Target (I think I could go completely broke at that store!)
Sweater: Consignment Sale
Shoes: TJMaxx
Hopefully I will see you tomorrow, I have to get new batteries for my camera.

Tag!

Clare from I Have Loved the Rain and Julia from For Lack of Anything Better both tagged me for this meme.


The Rules

1. Copy the questions and then answer them (post it on your blog remember).
2. Tag 4 people and let them know you have tagged them.
3. Let the person [who tagged you] know that you have done a post for the tag.

The Questions

What are your nicknames?
I really don't have any except for Sissy which is what most most of my siblings have called me before they learned to say my name.

What TV game show or reality show would you like to be on?
None. Actually, I don't watch any TV. Except for Masterpiece Theater but I guess that count as a television show.

What was the first movie you bought in VHS or DVD?
I honestly don't know. The first one I can remember buying was The Fellowship of the Ring the extended edition but I'm sure there was something before that.

What is your favourite scent?
Vanilla.

If you had one million dollars to spend only on yourself, what would you spend it on?
Oh, goodness! Clothes and shoes and fabric and books and, and...

What is one place you've visited, can't forget and want to go back to?
Blowing Rock, NC. We went there on vacation several years ago and I would love to go back.

Do you trust easily?
Hmmm... I really don't know. I'll have to think about this one.

Do you generally think before your act, or act before you think?
Um, usually I act first. I am trying to do better about that though.

Is there anything that had made you unhappy these days?
I have a cold. And I don't especially like winter weather.

What is your favourite fruit?
I like most fruit but I think citrus fruits are my favorite.

What websites do you visit daily?
Gmail, Blogger and the S and S forum.

What have you been seriously addicted to lately?
Anything sweet and movies set in the Regency Era.

What's the last song that got stuck in you head?
Fortunately I don't have one stuck in my head right now.

What is your favourite thing to wear?
Anything that's both really comfortable and looks good at the same time.

Do you think Rice Krispies are yummy?
No, unless they have lots of marshmallows in them.

What items couldn't you be without during the day?
I'm thinking... Right now books, socks and milk.

What should you be doing right now?
Ahhh, probably school.


Whew, that was kind of hard. Now, whom shall I tag? How about:
and Janna


See you all later!

I've Been Caught!

Janna from http://www.thejoyofhome.com/ tagged me on "Six Random Things About Me". The rules are as follows: link to the person who tagged you, list the rules, write six random things about yourself, tag six-ish people by leaving comments on their blogs and let the person who tagged you know that you've written the post. O.K. here I go...

1. I'm no longer allowed to post anything without my mom reading it first because even with spell check I still manage to spell things wrong.

2. I was born on Labor Day.

3. I love reading Emily Dickinson's and Emily Bronte's poems.

4. I've always wanted long, beautiful "princess" hair but I doubt I'll ever get it.

5. I enjoy reading tragedies but I cannot stand to watch sad movies.

6. I would much rather stay inside to going out, I never was much of a run around outside kind of girl and I have always prefered shopping to sports.

Whew! That was harder than I thought it would be! Now, whom should I tag? How about:
