A Dress for Novemeber
This is the dress I made for a wedding in Door County Scott and I went to last weekend. It is Simplicity number 3777 and I used Moda cotton for the body and some Denyse Schmidt for the trim. I was having trouble finding a dress that was orange or grey or both so I decided to make this one. The printed fabric is my most favorite pattern ever and I try to snatch some up when I can.
Grey is usually my base color for everything. I love it- it makes me feel warm and snestled in fall and winter months. My heart is happy and calm when wrapped in grey. I just add colors as the seasons change. November is grey and orange for me.
This month is already moving fast. Ten days until my birthday and fifteen days until Thanksgiving, which I will be hosting at my house this year. The lists have already started flying. I'm taking some time off of work the days before so I will be making soap, candles, and balms for the holidays that weekend in hopes of having them on the website after Thanksgiving. We'll see... I'm not the one who is building the site so I have to fit into his schedule. Love you Dear.
But this week and next I think I will be sprucing things up around the house. New pillow and ottoman covers from thrifted sweaters, a fall/winter bag, a table runner, knitted scarves and squares for a blanket, some holiday aprons, baby and birthday gifts, and not to mention cleaning. Lets see if I can get it all done!
