Sew Many Dresses!!!!



Oh my goodness, I had to go out and buy extra little hangers for my little dresses! I had them folded up everywhere and dresses should be hanging up! Today, I'm nearly finished a darling blue dress, with a totally twirly skirt and a zipper in the side seam. Of course, it's made from an antique pattern. How antique, you ask? Well, the pattern instructions called for 'a slide fastener to be placed in the side seam'. Yup, that's antique! No pictures of that one yet, but I have put some new ones in Pretty Jane Dresses lately.... need an Easter dress for a little girl in your life? :)








Most dresses I've left unhemmed, so they can be hemmed to just the right length for your little girl.

I've also been making soap and chapstick, for the Plain Jane Etsy Shop   which is not listed yet. Soon, tho!

Found out there is a group here in Joplin of Etsy Store Owners, so I went to that meeting last week and had such a good time! Small group, which is fine with me, I get quiet in big groups. But it was nice to talk over how we did things, and see what each of us made. Well, except me - I was the only one who didn't bring Show 'n Tell. It was my first meeting, I didn't know! lol But I'll be bringing things next meeting!

I promise not to be gone for so long next time! Oh one more thing. I am actually working on Christmas presents for this coming Christmas :) I'm so proud of myself!! Although I have been forgetting grandchildren's birthdays.... not so proud now. Pride comes before the fall, that's for sure!!! I can't keep track of 14 grandchildren, and i've tried so many ways. Do you have a wonderful method for keeping track of all the kids birthdays, anniversarys, the grandkids birthdays? PLEASE tell me what it is!!!!

The Before and After Story

Well, the plumber has come and gone. First, I'd like to remind you of what our yard used to look like. Remember last spring when we planted flowers?


And now...

There used to be two trees here :(
