Part 1 Piccolas by Anagrassia’s “Frontier” Fall Collection: The Kid’s Sports Jacket

Handmade High End Designer Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Coat Jacket & Leather with Plaid Tartan Skirts Dresses with Ukrainian hand embroidered couture blouses

It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping. And right down the street, in a shop...

Tino’s Baptism

Ukrainian Hand Embroidered Baptismal Christening White Blue Boys Gown; Tan Camel Beige Champagne Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Cloak Coat Champagne Leather Block

Just before the new year, my nephew was baptized. He wore his broth­er’s Ukrain­ian hand-embroi­dered chris­ten­ing gown. The gown was made for a baby 2–3 months old, so the gown was a bit snug around his arms. The gown is white linen with very light ivory lace inserts. This gown was inspired by the Ukrain­ian gowns my babcha made for her grandsons. My sis­ter, Katie, wore her new Bur­dastyle wool cash­mere...

Dmitri’s Ukrainian Embroidered Christening Gown with Lace and Silk Lining

ukrainian embroidered boys baptismal gown

I made this bap­tismal gown last spring for my nephew, Dmitri. It’s sim­i­lar to the gown I made my oth­er nephew (and oth­ers), except my sis­ter chose bold col­ors instead of sil­vers, whites, and blues. The gown is hand embroi­dered with a tra­di­tion­al Ukrain­ian pat­tern and silk lined.        ...

The Calling of the Artist

Ukrainian Seamstress Tailor Mary Grace Godfrey

The best things in life uplift us. I am not talk­ing about ele­va­tors when we need to get to the top floor, (although that is nice). Rather I am talk­ing about lift­ing our spir­its as we go about our day-to-day activ­i­ties. This is the role of the artist, who “give us enthu­si­asm to do our work” as St. John Paul II said in his famous Let­ter to Artists. Beau­ty speaks...

Unlike most peo­ple, I nev­er con­sid­ered the new year begin­ning Jan­u­ary 1st. Through my school years, my new year began in late August and I count­ed the years by my grade. Now I no longer count my years that way, but it’s still not the first of the year. Now my new year starts on Easter. Any­one who knows me well, knows how much I HATE Lent. Between the unpre­dictable...
