the next Martha Stewart??

I got a sewing machine shortly after our first child was born and had visions of sewing darling little dresses for her. I do have some basic sewing skills and pull it out from time to time, but haven't quite gotten to those dresses yet.

My mom made my dresses for YEARS. She maide my little flower girl dresses and our Halloween costumes, too. (one year we were Siamese cats)

Dagny -

My wedding sari hangs on the wall in my dining room, so I'll take a picture and post it (now that i CAN). It was pretty, but I liked the one I wore for my reception more, although I think all pictures of that one are pre-digital. I'll also post my skirt (in the call room, b/c I'm wearing it).

The brown chenille is from JoAnn fabrics. Sari fabric can be had VERY cheaply online. Ebay has a great store called indianartcart, bluemoon_stuff, and uniqueessentials. The fabric for the skirt came from bluemoon_stuff and cost $10 for 6 yards (the size of a sari).

It doesn't photography as pretty as it looks. All of the beading was hand-done.
