Thinking…Green?

March 17th, 2009

I had a slight dilemma this morning.

I wanted to write a short post honoring St. Patrick, but I also wanted to post some pictures of my sewing progress. There’s not enough time for both – what to do!

Then I came up with this amazing plan: combine the two! Many people associate St. Patrick’s Day with green, my ballgown is greenish, so… vuala! Brilliant! isn’t it? I’m a genius, I know. “I flatter myself…” :-P

Here are a couple of teaser pictures of my dress, which is almost done! All that’s left is to trim the bodice and put on sleeves. YES!!

It’s all getting there! Perhaps later on this week I’ll post pictures of our other projects; the guys’ vests, Angie’s gown, and Mom’s.

Concerning St. Patrick, if all you know about this guy is Ireland and lucky clover, check out his incredible story! It’s amazing to see God’s hand of Providence on his life. Wow!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day y’all! There’s the end of yet another random post. :-) Cheerio!

    The dress looks beautiful, from what you’ve shown us here. I especially like the vantage point on the button photo.

    The dress looks gorgeous. I like the soft color, too.

    One spelling issue…voila. And if you have an accent mark, it goes on the “a”.

    Thanks guys!

    @Esther
    I was originally looking for something of a more traditional pale sage green, but when I found this I just couldn’t resist! Trust me, it’s much more beautiful in real life. The camera didn’t really pick up its true color.

    @Cindy
    ‘My bad! :-) But to my defense, the computer didn’t underline it in bright red, so I figure it was okay. :-)

    I can’t wait until it’s done! According to my schedule, that should be happening later today or early tomorrow. HUZZAH!!

    ya i bet! Lighting has to be perfect for the camera to pic up a nice color or you need to edit the photo.

    …or you could just use your imagination. :-)
