Questions we Need to Ask

As summer is approaching (or is already here, like in Texas) :)

Do God's standards on modesty change because I approach a body of water?


Who are we trying to please- God? or man?

Here's a great read.

Filled to the BRIM with girlish glee...

Yes, I am. A time of day when I'm normally the happiest (when sweet hubby comes home from work) was made doubly exciting today. I received my order from the Ribbon Jar. I think their website is just lovely, and the ribbons came packaged up so cutely. With wonderful names like Heliotrope and Mermaid, I should have known they'd be beautiful... the colors are just shimmery and wonderful. I know- you're thinking to yourself right now- who gets this excited about ribbons? Well, I do. I've been wearing them in my hair since... I had hair. And double sided satin has become extremely hard to come by. When I saw the Ribbon Jar website, I knew I must order some. 1 yard of each of 15 mm ribbon is a perfect length for bows and headbands. I got every color. If my hair could smile... I'm pretty sure it'd be grinning from ear to ear right now.

It may not feel like fall, but I'll wear my fall clothes

In my ever present need to make it feel like "fall" :) I wore my corduroy skirt today. I made this in the style of the Tznius wrap skirts- with lots of extra wrap to prevent wind issues. I've always liked their skirts, but ouch, they're so pricey. I bought this material on clearance 80% off last March or so. Yes, so I've wanted to wear this skirt since March. :)


And by popular demand, haw haw... here is the latest project. I pretty much always have some sort of knitting or crochet project in the works- its wonderful to have when you want to relax without feeling unproductive. This one's been slow going since I'm new at crochet. Its the "Very Easy Ripple Shawl". When I saw "very easy" in the title, I knew it was the one for me! I taught myself the double crochet from the lion brand website- its actually very helpful!


I realize now from looking at the picture on the site, the little holes aren't supposed to waffle back and forth like mine do. But... I don't know WHY mine waffle back and forth, so I can't really fix it, and well, hmph, I kinda like it. :)

WIFD thursday!

I didn't want to wait for hubby to come home from work for today's picture, so my picture was carefully taken with the self timer. :)

I'm working on the latest crochet project- I'll post about that later :) and I'm wearing a blue skirt I made a while back. Its so toasty here today, I can hardly believe its almost October! I've got to go check the forecast and hope for a cold front. It may just be me being silly, but honestly this September felt hotter than June! Lol.

No more delinquency!

Well, I missed out on day two and three of the week in feminine dress! My apologies :) The last two days have left me exhausted and worn out! But today was much more relaxed- a happy day to be sure. Here's me "gazing" out over our balcony...


Twisting up my hair like this is one of the simplest and best ways I have come up with to 'not have a ponytail or plain bun'.

The time has come again!

The sewing forum I'm a member of does a seasonal week in feminine dress about four times a year. Its a wonderful way to show how you can do anything dressed femininely and beautifully for the Lord! :) I'll be sharing throughout the week, and anyone else who wants to participate, let me know and I'll link you!

Here's some links if you'd like to learn more about it:

My favorite, Mrs. Chancey's Week in Feminine Dress

Another favorite, The Poston Ladies

Trina and her sisters are participating, too!


Here's me today, after church. I'll try to get a more "full length shot" on the other days :)
