I'm Dreaming of a White......Dress?

I have never been a huge fan of white. Even my wedding dress wasn't white. Well not for the obvious reasons, but a white dress or outfit just never had me think, "Oooo! I have to that white dress!" Or "....that white pants suit is hot!" What bothers me about a white outfit or dress, other than a wedding dress, is that I think of a work outfit or church nurse's uniform. Despite me not really liking white, and uninterupted white outfit or dress is the required attire for a luncheon March 28th that I plan to attend.

I haven't sewn in about a year, and I am a little rusty, so I figured I try to find a dress pattern, something like a simple chemise. A dress that is elegant, but not too overstated for a luncheon. You ladies know exactly what I am describing don't you? Well it has been easier said than done. Here is my inspiration....





I have looked through a few websites for something simple, but the first pass has provided any attention catchers. I am going to try again, but I need to act fast. I am also planning my daughter 6th birthday party, which is the day after the luncheon. Oh, I just love a challenge!

A New Beginning

A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt

Who knew I would ever quote Eleanor Roosevelt, but I feel these words are most fitting to all that has happened in my life over the last six months. I never knew I was this strong! But I find comfort knowing there is a plan and I don't have to do this alone.
