makes me feel good

Just because I haven't made a little dress in quite a long time, I wanted to try one and feel pretty pleased with my efforts. I have discovered that as I have aged I find sewing more pleasurable and get less frustrated with details. Used to be I hated all the finishing details of garment construction and now find I rather enjoy it. This is a cute little print with pink rosebuds on the stripes although that really didn't show up in my photo.
And a little more creativity-the altar flowers I made for church yesterday. Flower arranging can be very rewarding and it is probably time for me to try my hand at some more creative designs relying more on design elements and less on the natural beauty of the flowers.

That is some fine stichery. A beautiful little dress. The flowers are lovely.

Deb, that dress is absolutely adorable! It almost makes me wish I had a girl (almost).
And the flower arrangements are lovely. I was just telling Becky that I have not a decorative bone in my body and feel completely incompetent when making such decisions. I wish you could send me some of your talent through the computer!
