Route 66 Dress -- Part One

Yes, I am in the midst of making a graduation present for my dear friend, Katie of Beautifully Pure. She loves the whole idea of route 66 and old cool cars. So when I found this fabric I knew what she'd be getting as her graduation present from me.

Stay tuned to see pictures of the finished dress in part two!

Domestic Delights

There are few things in this world that smell quite as scrumptious as freshly baked bread. Especially when you are the one who put the work into making it. And there are few things that taste quiet as good as a warm slice of fresh baked bread with butter spread on top and a cup of spicy cinnamon tea on the side.

This has been one of those lovely days when everything seams so nice and pleasant. The sun was shining, I vacuumed and cleaned the house, baked bread, sewed, and tonight I'll be watching a movie with my sister.  How much better can you get?   

Looking in Through My Window

The windows are open, my sheer curtains are blowing in the wind, the birds are noisy, the air is odorous of the sweet smell of soil and warmth. I am blessed to be alive and well on a day like this.

Adieu,

Road to Romance Dress

The Royal Road to Romance is a book by Richard Halliburton, a young man in the 1920's who gave up a career in order to travel the world. He wanted to climb treacherous mountains, swim oceans, and see distant lands. This dress, therefore, in the spirit of his amazing travel book, is dubbed the Road to Romance Dress. Who knows on what journeys this dress could take you? Anywhere from America, to Europe, to Asia, or on a ship sailing round the world. A train speeding across the country, or a automobile driving fast on the highway.

This dress I made in November and December as a Christmas gift for my sister, who so beautifully poses for these photos. As soon as I saw the fabric at Hobby Lobby, I snatched it up with great plans for it. Now, months later, we finally took some proper pictures of the dress.

Did I Make the Most of Loving You?

I have just found this lovely artist, Mary-Jess. Her voice is enchanting! She reminds me of Marianne Dashwood, or Elizabeth Bennett. She has such a strong and pleasant voice, I can't help listening to it over and over again. Please enjoy!
