7 years ago...

We were scrolling through Lightroom a couple days ago, and struck memory gold. We found pictures taken with our very first digital camera! We also found pictures of us playing dress up seven years ago. 
To give you a background on this first ever photo shoot, we were going for a historical theme. Laura was standing on a child-sized little red chair in order to get higher with the camera. We had decided on an old book, an apple, and Bingley as props. 
Although you can't see it in the pictures, we didn't realize till months later that we had forgotten to take the sticker off of the apple. :-)

This was also during Bingley's "Puppy years". He was a mini marshmallow back then. 


Notice the modern day sport's watch we forgot to remove... 

We cracked up quite a bit over this one...



So yes, this is where 
Laura got her very first start in photography.

Project Update!!

Here is a small update on my Regency Underthings sewing project.......



That's right.....I have only cut out the pattern and fabric........ life has been REALLY busy, and so my poor sewing machine has sat under its cover this whole year......well.....1 1/2 months that is ;-)

Here is a little tip..... I cut out my pattern in the largest size.....then, just folded the pattern to my personal size!  I will be able to re-use the same pattern on multiple people!  ;-)

I will begin sewing next week Lord willing!  :D :D :D

Have a wonderful week!

My First Costume!

Here are the photos of the very first costume that I made!

My sister really wanted this dress to look just like the cover on the pattern, and picked out the fabric combinations herself!  She also took it upon herself to find a hoopskirt -- and it was only $20!   Great job Lizzy!!







One of my next projects will be the undergarments that go with this dress (Simplicity 2621) -- including the hoopskirt :D
