Water Jug

The other day when I was at the flea market I found the perfect water jug for camp reenactments! :)

Busy, busy, busy!

Today has been a very productive afternoon! After I came home from an amazing church service I immediately started getting to work. Yesterday afternoon my family and I went to a flea market and I bought a small Pyrex bowl for my hope chest. :) So this afternoon I went and rearranged my hope chest to get it to fit! I've already had to move my nicer glasses to actual boxes! Next I decided to sort through my clothes to see if there was anything I don't want anymore. I just got through cutting out the pieces to make a new apron with some fabric I got on sale yesterday at Hobby Lobby. :) The next thing on my list is to mend two of my petticoats. Instead of a drawstring I am thinking about adding hook and eyes to make it more secure. All in all it has been a very productive Sunday afternoon. :)

Modeling for Grandma

My grandmother sews civil war style dresses and sells them for her personal business. Since she has 5 granddaughters we all take turns being her models for most of her dresses. I found some pictures from last years modeling sessions :)

I modeled this lovely skirt she made

I adore this lovely peach dress!

Now this is my ballgown she helped me make :)

Pleasant Hill Reenactment 2014

Earlier this year (March or April, can't remember) I went to the Battle of Pleasant Hill Reenactment. It was such a great one and I loved visiting with some dear friends of mine! :)
