A week in feminine dress - day 3

As today was sunny I decided to wear one of my favorite
outfits.

doing my devotions.

It is a baby blue polo that I bought for $2 at a thrift store!!!
If ever you need to buy a new clothes article, don't rush to the
mall and pay a fortune for a couple of shirts!!!
This shirt is from Aéropostale, now if I had gone to the
actual Aéropostale store I would have had to pay about $20 for it,
soooo I saved $18 on this shirt!!!

I put on a tan paneled skirt from Hamricks,
my brown shoes from Wal-mart, and my hair in a half pony-tail.

A week in feminine dress - day 2

For today I wore a lime green striped dress.
However, it had short sleeves so I slipped on a lime green shirt.

I wore brown shoes from Wal-Mart that are made of
a rubber sort of material that are soooooo comfortable.

I did my hair in 2 french braids and tied them
together with a lime green ribbon. I put on my everyday glasses to match.

P.S. Lime green is not my favorite color, everything just
happened to match :).

A week in feminine dress - day 1

Daddy and Caleb are finally home and I can now use my daddy's computer.
I wanted to do a week in feminine dress to encourage
other ladies to dress femininely and modestly.
We live in an age where femininity and modesty is
looked down upon and scorned. The fashions demand that
one wear whatever it says to wear, even if it's the ugliest
thing ever. One time I was speaking to a friend and she
told me that the only reason she wore "crocks" was because
everybody else wore them. We must not let ourselves be blinded
by fashion and the sorry excuse of "everybody else wears it", we must
follow what the Bible teaches and what God wants us to wear.

~She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing
is fine linen and purple...
Strength and dignity are her clothing.~

For church on Sunday I wore a cashmere and wool
blend sweater that my mother found at a consignment store,

a cream ruffled skirt that I bought from some friends
which was an XL, so I had to pull the elastic to fit me,
And some brown high heels that Jessica gave me.

I wore my hair in a twist. I also wore my "Church'
glasses.

Tagged

I meant to post about something else but it just so happens that
my daddy left for Indiana early this morning and he took his laptop
with him. As our computer wont register my pictures I will take Sarah at 'as lilies sewing'
at her word and consider myself tagged!!!
Here are the rules:

• Put the link of the person who tagged you.
• Post the rules on your blog.

• Post six random things about yourself
• Tag six or so other people at the bottom of your post.

• Leave comments on their blog to let them know that they have been tagged.
• Let the person who tagged you know when you've written the post.
  

So here are six random things about myself:

1. The first time I was ever in a wedding I was 3 years old and not at all prepared to be in a wedding. Well it just so happened that I had to wear ballet slippers and they wouldn't stay tied . In the middle of the ceremony I noticed that my slippers were once again untied, so I went sat down on the stair of the altar and commenced to tie my slippers.
   

Sadly to say for me, I pulled my leg so hard that I fell backwards creating
quite a commotion!!!
2. I love Pecan pie but can not manage to eat pecans by themselves
I feel dreadful, to say the least, when I eat plain pecans.
3. I like altering recipes to my personal taste and thus creating
a special and unique taste.
4. I have an amazing attraction to skirts!!! Skirts are so feminine!!!
(as long as they are long and aren't skin tight.)
Skirts are also quite easy to find at consignment stores.
5. I greatly enjoy playing the piano, but greatly
dislike practicing with a metronome.
6. I have had my elbow pulled out of socket by accident.
2 of my brothers were playing with me and one of them was holding my arm,
I was pulling away and my elbow popped out of socket. We lived an hour away
from Greenville then
and had to drive all the way there to get to our doctor.
When we finally arrived he popped it
back into place and thankfully it has never happened again.

Now I will tag Ashley at A country maidens lane
Sharon at Vintage inspirations
Paula at Rose cottage by the lake
Janna at The joy of home
Shannon at A maidens musings
Cheri at A joyful handmaiden

A finished project

Well as you can see we did survive last week!!!
Now if you remember I was going to tell y'all about a project from
Virginia. We celebrated Haviland's birthday while we were
there and I gave her a Knitting set.

At first we didn't understand how we were
supposed to use it but we finally figured it out and well this is what
we made.

It's a hat!!!
It was so easy to make and I heartily enjoyed it. And
the yarn is so fun and warm. Isn't she beautiful?

Packing

I'm so sorry about the lack of blog posts but we have been in Belton as we
have SOLD our house!!!!
Well the buyer is actually renting-to-own but we still have to move everything
out, have a big yard sale and much more. Please pray that we will survive this week!!!
(well if we have survived other busy weeks we should be able to survive this week. LOL)

Home at last

After a rather busy 5 days in Virginia we are back
again. We arrived Monday evening and have been getting back on schedule.
I can not post about my project which I accomplished in Virginia as
I will be leaving soon for an eye doctor appointment but will try to soon.
