Hats for the Holidays! Day 19

A fur-trimmed hat with a sparkly broach! Tis a beautiful hat, and perfect for the holidays!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and ironically, I havent been posting my Beautiful Blessings, although I will pick it up again soon. God has been using this month in a special way for me, so I will be sharing it with you withing a few days! And after I do that, I will probably resume my Beautiful Blessings! Though I must say, Im quite thankful for encouraging friends today. Well, encouraging friends, and encouraging friends. It goes both ways! :~)

A Project

This past weekend was my birthday! I had a lovely time with friends and family.

I've had a project lurking in the back of my mind for the past few months and I decided to do it for my birthday!

Make a dress!

Now my skirt I cut out 2 Christmases ago still isn't finished, but I had an idea for a dress that would take about a half an hour to pin and sew.



You need a shirt and a skirt! (I got mine at the Salvation Army.)

Have a friend help pin it at the height you want, I was going for late 50's, early 60's, and sew!

I've worn this for 2 days now and it is so comfy to wear....

....I see more in my future....
