As I was diligently laminating and binding stuff for Primary Singing Time tomorrow, Taylor sat at the computer nearby and said, "Hey, Mom, you haven't been posting much lately." (I totally appreciate that he checks on a regular basis.)
I know. I've been busy. I laundered all day Thursday, and worked at the school all day Friday (I finally agreed after being asked for the third time -- I really wanted to use the day to work on quilts).
Besides, there really hasn't been that much to write about, unless you're interested in how my elevated stress levels are impacting my usually pleasant personality ;-)
I did, however, recently come across some pictures I thought I would share... I just couldn't figure out how to get them to scan. Billy-my-hero stepped in and helped me out. One of these days I'll have him give me a demo, but I was just too darn busy today.
(The satin dream. Plus more poof-y sleeves.)
My sister got married a year before I did, so of course, I tagged along as she shopped for a dress. I guess I tried some on just for the heck of it, which was a good thing, since I didn't shop for a dress ONCE when my own wedding rolled around the following year. I chose, instead, to wear the same lovely dress my sister wore.
The funny thing is, this style of dress is making a comeback... sort of. For years the lace-covered beaded bodice, chiffon-y skirted, long-sleeved dress was so old fashioned. As I was shopping with Britta, I saw {lots} of dresses with many of those same elements. Perhaps there weren't a lot of long sleeves, but I predict they will be the next big thing.
The white tux with tails? Not so much.
Tomorrow for Sunday dinner, I will be testing a recipe or two for Taylor's wedding luncheon. I hope they turn out awesome, because I would love to get the menu nailed down, so I can focus on other details.
Like decorations, table settings, and line flowers. And quilts.

(Those headpieces were a-ma-zing, don't you think?)
(Lace. Shine. Poof-y sleeves. Who could ask for anything more?)
