Yarn Along




First I must apologize for being so absent.  From here and other blogs in Yarn Along.  Wednesday mornings I am in bible study and have a short break before I do grandchildren carpool.  So hopping on to all the blogs is hit and miss.  It takes me a few days to be able to make the rounds.

These last two weeks have been consumed with wedding planning and the sewing is about to commence.  You see I am making the four flower girl dresses.  Yes, four.  All the little nieces will be walking down the aisle ahead of the bride.  Such a sweet site.  This is the first time one of my daughters has married and  her sister's children will be in the wedding.  A new memory:)

The ceremony music is in place.  Because we have experience with music, the daughters have had special pieces they prefer.  This youngest is particularly choosy. But it is going to be gorgeous and meaningful and sacramental.

Secret knitting is moving along.  I'm having thoughts on a giveaway at the end of this.  Of course not the knitting, but maybe a bag?

No reading this week.  I have fallen into bed each night exhausted.  Netflix has been my friend.

Linking up with  Ginny!

  13. Busy as a bee you are! Enjoy the wedding sewing and planning and all the rest... and even the sewing of those dresses. I sewed the bridesmaid and flowergirl dresses for my own wedding years ago which was a labor of love as I'm sure your sewing will be. xo Lisa
