I still plan to put some elastic and lace around the wrists and then scavenge some pearl trim off the wedding dress bodice to put at the waist of the baby dress. Not sure on that yet. Just toying with the ideas... It's like making doll clothes! I sent my sister a pic of it so far and she likes it!*********
Did I tell you about Meri and my fabric painting class? On Sunday afternoon, we dressed up in grubbies and met up with about 15 other women to learn how to do fabric painting. I brought along some fabric paints, brushes, some tea towels, napkins and sample fabric. Learned a lot! And can't wait to decorate some more.
Meri went to town with the instructors stencils and I spent the last 45 minutes of the class cleaning stencils... It was a 3 hour class. Someday I'll get some pics of the projects we practiced with.

Ran the snow blower this morning for just the bare minimum... There are drifts all around every car and they're deep... Since I needed to get to work soon, I just did enough to get Robb's car out, the sidewalks and a path to the house. There is a huge drift behind a couple cars, but the wind is still blowing good and strong. I should probably wait until it stops blowing just a little...

No school today! The kids were actually disappointed. They're realizing that this means school won't let out for summer when they thought it might. Meri is doing a massive reorganization of her room and Maddy... well, I haven't seen her yet today.

And good old PunxsutawneyPhil!... Who would think that a tiny little disease ridden rodent would give snow bound Iowa a wee bit of hope in the middle of a blizzard?...

Gasp! The dress is so gorgeous. This was such a great idea.
I can't even imagine how it would be with all of that snow. A few days ago, we were in shorts. Today it got down to the 20's.
LOVE the dress!!!!
Snow blows. Literally.
That gown is GORGEOUS!!!
Did Phil predict spring??
The dress is beautiful!
Phil predicted an early spring. We'll see.
Um, here in the SOUTH, our schools were out for four days for 5 inches of snow and then ice. They were out a full week because the Monday it snowed was a teacher's planning day. Help us if we ever have a foot of snow!
you did an amazing job on the baptismal dress - lovely!!!
The dress is just beautiful!
That is a beautiful dress!
On one of the talk shows this morning they reported that the people who handle Phil decide days before Feb. 2 what they're going to say.
*wow* What a piece of art you have created out of an old dress! Beautiful.
BTW....I actually don't have any of my pictures on my walls. Really! I have one collage poster that I made of my children's photographs recently, but that is it. I think I need an etsy shop.
That dress is just beautiful!
The baptism gown is amazing! You are so talented!
baptism dress is divine
