Recent eBay wins

Dresses with peplums!!! I love this pattern. Can't wait to try it out. I already have the fabric waiting.



Love the detail down the front of this pattern. I'm thinking of doing a light-weight wool. What say you?



And if this isn't the cutest boys' pattern then I don't know what is! Might make matching outfits for Renton and Micky.



Although who am I kidding? If I can get a sitter to go to events I'm going to! ;)

WWII at Sully Plantation




Well, here we are. First ever WWII event and I think I might be hooked!



What a fun experience, just wish we'd gotten there earlier so we could spend more time walking around and talking to people. It was a completely different atmosphere from Civil War reenacting though I can't really put my finger on it.






(Caitlin "shocked" by the naughty magazines.)

Anyway, Amy, Caitlin and I had a great time and plan to go to more events soon. Micky enjoyed the first thirty minutes, then threw such a huge fit in the middle of the field that some German officers actually came out and tried to recruit him for the SS!

Purple Floral - Phase II

Just a picture of the progress. Have only buttons left to do. Will update with pictures from the event when I get some.

Borrowed hat, shoes and bag from my friend Amy.
