Have a wonderful weekend everyone! We will be enjoying that extra hour of sleep on Sunday, when our clocks will finally fall back that one lovely hour...
cute dress! I think that with you in it, the going to church part will definitely disappear!
ReplyDeleteHow very special to have those patterns, I love the picture too, so very Dutch!
That's a super cute dress! As soon as I saw it I pictured it with a comfy cardi. You'll look fab! Cant wait to see the finished cross stitch. I think it's wonderful that your carrying your Great-Aunt"s torch!
ReplyDeleteLeuk jurkje en dat borduurwerkje is ook schattig!
ReplyDeleteLovely dress - and yes a vintage card with it will be perfect. Nothing churchy about it - actually you should see what people wear to church these days - nothing as cute as that dress! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your cross-stitch project too - what an intricate picture.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteOur clock fell back last Sunday! What a lovely dress and your needlework from the Netherlands is also wonderful. I went back in your blog and saw your master C. Great smile on your's as well as his face. Wishing you a very nice weekend,
Kram, from Sweden
I love that you are doing your Aunt Nel's cross stitch pattern. Beautiful image and a lovely story.
