Burdastyle Charcoal Modal Cotton Cross Over Long Crop Dress
I made this dress for my trip to Europe last year. I heard Europeans wear pants and long dresses, so I made the dress long with side slits. I didn’t take photos of the dress in Europe, but I grabbed a few photos when I wore it to a dinner & dance last May. I don’t like tight dresses so I made size 38. (I normally wear size 36.) The shoulders were a bit too wide...

Every year I chose my Easter dress pattern and embroidery at the beginning of Lent. I then work on it and any other spiritual goals I may have until the big day arrives.

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...
Anagrassia (Dress Up) Tea Party
Before my nieces separated for the summer, my sisters and I decided it would be fun to have the girls dress up in Anagrassia (Overstock Shop) flower girl lace leotards/bodysuits and tulle skirts and have a tea party. The girls enjoyed Babcha’s sprinkled cupcakes, Bamber’s Market cookies, and milk. Because of the Pandora (French Cafe) music playing in the background, it was nearly impossible to keep one of my nieces from getting up...
