Happy New Year about 2 weeks late! How is everyone doing with those resolutions? I don't do them but choose to do goals instead.
One of my goals is to start a new sew along with some friends. This is the first block and it is due to be finished on January 31. The cutting is very slow.....in order to make it scrappy. I like the happy colors.
It came as a kit. It's called Spotted by Zen Chic. I decided just to go with the kit instead of finding all the fabrics. I am going to change up the setting though so stay tuned.
For something totally different....My daughter and her family will be moving in the spring. She has been furiously cleaning out closets and bedrooms and playrooms the past few weeks.
We found a bunch of her dresses she wore as a baby. Remember Polly Flinders dresses? I loved them and bought them for her all the time for special occasions.
The details are beautiful and so very vintage. Her baby, Piper is getting baptized later this month and we decided it would be fun for her to wear after the baptism. One is pink and one is white, she is going to wear the white one.
These brought back such wonderful memories and I love that she is going to use them for her daughter. I got all the stains out with Oxy Clean, soaked over night in case you want to know. I took them to the dryer cleaner's to be pressed with light starch and to fix the elastic in the arms of one dress. I was a little shocked to see the $89.00 bill!
This was one of my all time favorites from Strawbridge and Clothier from 1983! She wore it on her first air plane ride to Illinois for my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary.
These dresses are timeless and maybe one of my great-granddaughters will wear one?
During the blog hop in December, Judy from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts had a give away and I was the winner! I won these adorable pillow covers and can't wait until next year to use them. Thank you Judy!
