Appliques And Easy Pointers For Creating Your Own Red Hat There are, of course, those standard articles of clothing we all purchase - pants, jackets, shirts, socks, and so on. Then sometimes we see those out-of-the-ordinary garments that you simply won’t find in the average retail clothing store. That is certainly the case with the circle of women who don their classic red hats. Red hat appliqu?s are a great way to personalize and customize your red hat. If you’re a member of the Red Hat Society, then you already know the importance of releasing your
A Burning Question It was around 5.30 am when it happened. The violence of the ear shattering sound which so abruptly broke my sleep pattern and forced me to sit bolt upright in my bed, is what I remember so vividly. What made it all so much worse was the time it took for me to realise where I was. By the time my brain had worked out that I was not at home, I was already scrambling out of bed and anxiously deciding how to dress. I remembered that it was winter and that it was bitterly cold, so wrapped up w
Foreign affairs - remember to say please As my regular readers know, I am a Finn who moved to Australia in April this year. While the transition has gone smoothly on most parts, there is one thing that keeps me puzzled. Sometimes people are friendlier towards me than what I expect, and sometimes I feel they are down right rude. I know I make mistakes with my politeness here, as us Finns don’t have an equivalent to the word “please” and all these thank yous and misters and mam’s are used very sparingly and they are not considered neces
Todd Bentley’s wedding vision.. Not trying to rehash old news, (the letter sent out recently from Fresh Fire Ministry) but I found a few items in this latest article at Western Standard, in which the author comments on not just the FFM letter but on Charisma’s follow-up article, interesting. Especially the account of Todd’s ‘wedding vision’… Western Standard, Todd Bentley speaks! Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley once told an audience a few years ago that even before he became a born-again Christian he had the gift of gab—that

So What? I got a really interesting comment from Xan this morning on the McCardell Update I posted a while back: First, it has been with great difficulty that I have found time to finally comment on this post. A real travesty indeed-silk charmeuse sprayed with sizing for this Claire McCardell dress? Not only does it give me the willies, I bet the fine designer of the pattern is rolling over in her grave. I have had the gut-wrenching experience time and again seeing sewing projects online over the last
How To: Dress for Holiday Parties Whether it be an office holiday party or a party thrown by your nearest and dearest, dressing and looking chic for holiday parties is not confined to wearing the latest holiday novelty sweater (a la Mr. Darcy of Bridget Jones’s Diary), unless you plan to wear one to make an ironic statement. Holiday parties give you a chance to dress more festively, and to let those festive dresses hanging your closet a chance to breathe apart from during wedding season. Dig through your clothes or pick up a

Wedding dress photos I didn't mean to be away from blogging for so long but unsurprisingly the last few weeks have been very busy! There's lots to update you on but for today I'll start with the wedding! Everything went pretty much to plan and the day itself was fabulous. We even had decent weather - and no rain! - so could go outside for photos. The dress was gorgeous and even with a train that long, it hardly weighed a thing so hooked up easily for the evening. The fabric is a crushed taffeta with some lace
Monday....a catch up. Hi, everyone!! How was your weekend? My weekend was pretty jammed packed full of activity. We had planned on packing boxes starting on Friday night but when we got home we were both so tired and just had to chill and relax. It was nice to just hang out! Saturday started with dog walking mine and my friends, who's husband is having back surgery today and I told her I'd stop by and help out by walking her dogs. She appreciated it a ton.So, after that I came home took a shower and I met up wit
Happy Nikolaus, Good morning (well sort of) everybody, a happy Nikolaus day if you "celebrate" it. We do! Got some really yummy shower gel in my boot, I guess it was well polished enough ;) How are you doing? I’m pretty well, just traces of a tiny cold but I’ll be having a long weekend (Monday and Tuesday off from work) so I hope to be fully recovered by Wednesday. I really had meant to blog last weekend but after getting an vaccination shot against the flue last Friday I just felt awful the whole weekend.
A Psychic’s Tale Growing up in the realm of psychic phenomena is one of constant confusion and doubt. Years of contemplating and questioning the bombarding paranormal activities and experiences. Feeling and sensing the unknown to a degree that is unheard of by most, a young psychic often feels very alone and obscure by comparison. I don’t recall the first event that triggered my conscious awareness to the supernatural. It’s been with me literally since I was a small child. The simple knowing and recall of events

28 Years Today Mike and I are married 28 years today! We'll be trying out a new Italian restaurant tonight. This time, 28 years ago, we were at our wedding reception. My bridesmaids wore red and my ushers were in classic black tuxedos--my father said they were 'correct,' LOL! One thing for sure, there were no ruffles. I hate ruffles on a guy's shirt. I had to laugh when I saw the movie '27 Dresses' and heard the line (several times) 'and you can shorten it and wear it later!' That's exactly what I had in min
“Children Do Better…” With White Parents? the verdict on the Florida gay adoption ban. At the time I wrote: Like I said, make no mistake about it. They’re coming after our families next. If they can’t break apart the families we’ve created, they’ll do their best to keep more of us from building families. Well, if you ask me, they’re already laying the groundwork to not only keep us from building families, but to break up our families if they can. The point it, they’re not going away and they’re not leaving our families alone. Yet,

Wedding gift for my little girl I am trying to find some waste canvass that I can use to sew cross stitch pattern on baby clothes but I know for sure I can’t find it here around town. I visit the craft store at the mall when we go to Davao where I have seen waste canvass three years ago. I am crossing my fingers I can get it there because I really wanted to make the baby HIS own set of personalized baby clothes like I did for Ella. ( I told you we wanted a boy) I have seen these when we went to Davao which I have kept in
14 Sentences On Goodwill Wedding Dresses A woman I know loosely through another web site — one Diana Heideman — recently contributed a poem to that web site, and I was so enamored with it that I asked her if I could post it here in its entirety. She said yes, and I thought that the day before Thanksgiving would be the perfect time to take a break from all the wedding invitations and ceremony accessories and bridal bouquets. Here is her poem, entitled “14 Sentences On Goodwill Wedding Dresses”: Strapless, vanity size 0, from Davi
