We don't have any babysitting support so it's all us . . . all the time. I adore my babies but can only imagine how lovely it would be to get a short break.Sewtellmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973674515617736993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-58643970150775257842012-02-27T02:34:10.025-05:002012-02-27T02:34:10.025-05:00Love Viola's dress.

I had a village that consisted of my MIL, my grandmother and a host of other relatives that always spent a great deal of time with our children. I was blessed to never even know that motherhood was hard. I truly had it easy and now I'm paying it forward. <br /><br />Viola looks absolutely amazing without one of those ridiculous wigs on. And that dress is simply fabulous!Erica Bunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023668349294387098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-62733909974465702302012-02-26T13:58:53.985-05:002012-02-26T13:58:53.985-05:00Viola looks absolutely gorgeous!

Even if all you get to do is catch up on housework, it's such a blessing. It was a very good thing you did.<br /><br />As a seamstress, I'm absolutely in love with Victoria Beckham's dresses. Her designs are simple and elegant and very inspirational for the home seamstress as they are designs that translate to everyday wear if you work or "going out for dinner with hubby" wear if you're a stay-at-home mum of very small people like me.<br /><br />I can't wait to see your version of this dress. And can't help thinking you could totally pull off the ivory. <br /><br />Enjoy your quiet day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-72685811885065121772012-02-26T12:38:57.701-05:002012-02-26T12:38:57.701-05:00We need fallow time too, don't you think?

In fact, my next task is to lay in some food and maybe make an Oscar treat. I'm feeling apple cobbler. ;)<br /><br />I think the McCalls was my favorite too. That white dress on Viola is amazing. She is so gorgeous.<br /><br />Enjoy the day!shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-90263854254880424272012-02-26T12:26:58.056-05:002012-02-26T12:26:58.056-05:00I am sure your daughter appreciates it very, very ...I am sure your daughter appreciates it very, very much when you watch your grandchildren! What a blessing! I wish one set of our kids' grandparents would do that...but they don't. Think what nice memories you are building for the grands, too :)<br /><br />Thanks for the preview about Threads...hopefully mine will be coming soon! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!sewing spotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532791199723063051noreply@blogger.com
