Fall News

 Good day pleasant readers! Hey, all! Today we have four bits of news and we will save the most exciting for the last. 1: Fall is incredibly pretty right now! While in town today, I gathered these great mums at our church and Marie got some pretty fall leaves to press in a book. 2: I am making a new dress for Washington DC. We will probably post about that later. 3: It is only 11 more days till we leave for Washington DC! I can't wait!!!! And 4 (drum roll please):We have found out why Mom and Dad were acting so mysterious (see HERE)! They decided to keep this fact for a surprise. I don't see how they managed! Mom and Dad are going to be foster parents! We are going to be fostering a girl named Jewel, and she is in between Libby and I in age. She lives near DC, so we will pick her up when we go there! Isn't that to cool?! We're getting a ready made sister (for a while)! Oh, Libby.

Have you ever fostered a child?

Have you ever been to Washington DC?

My Dress is done!

 Good day pleasant readers! After much hard work, yesterday, I tied the last knot and was done with my new dress. It took quite a bit of thought before I decided on a beach theme to embroider.

 Around the collar, I embroidered three shells, and on the sash, multicolored  fish swim.

 At the bottom of the skirt, waves roll and crash.

 It feels lovely to wear something that I myself embroidered. This will be a lovely addition to my summer wardrobe.

Do you like sewing or embroidery?

A Wonderful Idea

 Good day pleasant readers! This evening, I was reading an extremely good book called: "The Journeyman" in my backyard. Then, struck by a sudden thought, I laid down my book. "What if," I thought,"I was to make a dress decorated by my own embroidery, like Jennet in the book? I think that would be lovely!" 

 I began to make plans immediately, being no longer able to concentrate on my book.

What do you think of my idea?

Do you have any suggestions in accordance to what I should embroider?
