As promised, here is Eliza's dress. As you can see, we went pink this year! And I think it is entirely proper and festive. She certainly prances around in it like it's Christmas! This is going to be a short one since my family is also prancing around me to get going with the games and festivities. We had the obligatory viewing of "It's A Wonderful Life" last night, church this morning and this afternoon will be a flurry of game playing and a big pot of spaghetti. Not very festive, but it has somehow become a bit of a tradition whenever we all gather. We're off tomorrow to my dad's shack in the middle of the woods where I hear they have about 4 feet of snow. Fun, fun, fun!!! I wish you all the best of happiness this Christmas and holiday season.
I'll be back soon, hopefully with some great snow covered pictures to share! Toasty noses, cocoa, the whole nine yards. And then, you'll finally be able to see pictures of the presents I've been working on but haven't been able to share since my whole family reads the blog!
The dress it beautiful.

That is darling. You are such an amazing seamstress. This summer I hope to start making my girls matching dresses... But I am sure they won't be nearly so fancy!

Hi. I was wondering where you buy all your beautiful fabrics and when and where I can get ahold of Ginger Blossom. Thanks!

Oh I buy fabrics all over-I have my favorite online spots and there is a local hideaway spot that gets things shipped in from all over. Very unique, one of a kind things that I have never seen anywhere else. And it's all super cheap! Eliza's dress was made from fabric from that spot.
