Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses, Part 2

Adam saw that my model didn't have a face, so he drew one for her. Wasn't that sweet of him?

I am grateful to have a little boy who is so desirous to help me and to make me happy. He is a blessing to me.

Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses

Shabby Apple, an online modest dress company (www.shabbyapple.com), is having a contest for a dress to include in their spring line.

This dress would be made in baby blue or light green linen, with lace in the same color overlaid at the top of the front. The flower at the waist could be a tie instead, and would probably be made of the same fabric. The dress would also work in a dark denim with contrasting details.

The inspiration for this dress was a blouse that I really like. It is a little bit vintage, pretty, simple and flattering.

Go here for the rest of the story about this picture.

New Toy

We got a notice in the mail yesterday that our grass and weeds in the front yard were too tall. They gave us seven (7) business days to fix it or we'd be fined $200 dollars. So we decided it was time to do something that we've been putting off as long as possible - buying a lawn mower. We figured it was either spend the $200 on a fine or on getting something to avoid the fine. So below is a picture of my new toy.
