Mother's Plaid Civil War Dress

Happy Memorial Day! Well, yeah, I'm kind of late for that. In fact, I've been really slow at putting anything up here for a while. Sorry. On the bright side, I can assure you that I have actually been doing and making things - just not posting about them. I can do that now!

Mother did the Memorial Day parade thing on Monday, and I decided that she deserved a brand new dress for it. I happened to have this sheer plaid fabric hanging around, so I made her a dress! Hooray! I think it is quite nice, and am quite proud of the matching plaid on the front (hopefully you can't even tell, but that is where it closes).

Event Announcements - Returning Heroes Ball

The time has come! The biggest ball of the season! This is the closest you can really get to time traveling - imagine a room full of people, doing dances of the 1860s, with appropriate clothes and refreshments, all in the absolutely lovely setting of the Holliston Town Hall. It does not get better than that. Clear your Saturday, go make a reservation, and I will see you there!
