What I've Been Doing

Hello! I thought I'd share with you all what I've been up to

recently.I was hired to do some custom sewing (Nothing new

to me as I've done that many times!) and when I finished the

dress we liked it so well that we decided to make the same

pattern for my little sister. She needed new clothes, so I

have been sewing for her. Here is a picture of one

of the new dresses I made for her. I love the contrast on it

and am thankful to my friend for asking me to do a dress for

her daughter in that pattern. Now I should be able to

complete the long awaited buttercup yellow dress that I have fallen in love with and am eager

to finish and have available to you.

Yes, I believe these are lead free

Many of you may have heard about the "lead free law" and some may be following it. Well, they have put a stay on it for a year for such as myself as long as we are reasonably sure that our products are lead free. Praise the Lord! I am so thankful He has seen fit to intervene on our behalf. However, prayer is still needed that our authorities will make the law reasonable so that it will be good for all. So I will look forward to posting more outfits soon...I'm currently finishing an adorable buttercup yellow dress, bonnet and panty, which looks so like spring that I'm anxious for spring to roll around.

Links

I want to reccommend my friend's blogs to my readers. Nicole has a lot of talent and ability and puts it to use through home business. She does beautiful work. Her sites are http://www.freewebs.com/goatwagonsutlers for re-enactment and civil war period items; http://www.westernwoodburnings.blogspot.com/ for western woodburnings, of course and yet another blog with non-sutlery, non-western items is http://www.workingwithherhands.blogspot.com/. Nicole just made a visit to me (which I enjoyed a great deal) and left me a rug which she has crocheted. However, other than for this picture, I don't see mine getting on the floor! It is too pretty for that, in my opinion. I beleive it has found its permanent home on the back of my favorite chair!
