Way back in July I traveled to California to attend Costume College. What is Costume College you ask? It is an annual three-day educational conference produced by Costumer's Guild West, Inc. to provide educational classes, programs, and tours. Professional seamstresses, costume designers, as well as historical fashion and sewing enthusiasts come from all over the world to teach and attend this fabulous event. Friday night the theme was the 1940's so I choose to create a costume very close to my ... View the Post
Saturday Smiles On Target
Earlier this week I took a few moments to make a few "to-do" lists. They included an autumn housekeeping list, a sewing list, and a home improvement list. Were working on the one item on the last list today which means it's a Saturday Smiles On Target. An 1830's Raised Cottage I don't often find a home tour where I am enchanted with each and every room. But I could move right into this charming Antebellum home and not change a thing. A Happy Homecoming Last weekend was Homecoming at my ... View the Post
Pretty Costumes For Fall
Hello dear friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. I got the upstairs bathroom painted and Sweet Guy attended his Homecoming Dance.

A Downton Abbey Inspired Dress
Thank you everyone for all of your kind comments on my recent Fall Home Tour. As promised here is A Downton Abbey Inspired Dress. I have mentioned a few times that I am a member of the D/FW Costumers Guild. We attend several events a year together. An early fall outing was planned to attend Monet At The Kimball. The exhibit focused on the artists' last works from 1913 to 1926. I decided to create a dress style from the late Edwardian/early teens era. As such a dress would take a bit of time and ...

Saturday Smiles A Stitch In Time
Hello sweet friends! How has another week come and gone? Being on the road for five weeks has made this summer truly fly by. Since my return home last week I have said every day that I will write another post besides Saturday Smiles. But I am still working 16 hour days and find little time to do so. The good news is that many of those hours have been spent on projects I hope to feature very soon. Until then, enjoy Saturday Smiles A Stitch In Time. I returned home to a mountain of ...
