The Handmade Dress and Frieda's Fabric

Hello! I think I am finally getting back into the swing of things. Sweet Girl has had a good week. I just can't tell you how much all your kind words have meant. I have received comments and emails from so many of you. I am completely humbled because some of you have been through so much with your sweet children. Thank you for sharing your stories. I read an appropriate quote the other day: "God doesn't give us what we can handle; God helps us handle what we are given."

I recently discovered The Handmade Dress and immediately fell in love! Samantha is so talented! I just kept going back to her dress patterns and thinking how cute one of them would be on Sweet Girl. I even emailed my SIL, mom and a friend to tell them about the patterns. The Handmade Dress was, of course, added to Google Reader so I could keep up with all the happenings. Also, I figured that would be a good reminder for me to go back and purchase a dress pattern.

Much to my delight, Samantha hosted a giveaway a few days later. I entered, but didn't get my hopes up. Then, last week while I was sitting in the hospital with Sweet Girl I logged on and discovered that I had one the Miss Madeline pattern. Woohoo! What a wonderful blessing during that time. Thank you, Samantha, for the pattern (and the sweet email). I can't wait to sew a dress for my Sweet Girl!

Speaking of sewing, when I was a little girl my Grandma owned a fabric store. I really don't have many memories of it because I was quite young. Anyway, the last time I was home I was helping my mom organize her closets and I came across this little advertising mirror from Frieda's Fabric. What a fun little keepsake...and useful, too! It has a fabric conversion chart on it.

Wow! It is Thursday evening already. Amazing how much faster this week is going compared to last week. I hope you are having a good week. Thanks for stopping by!
