Don’t worry, there aren’t 8728 vogue 8728s. this one dates from October 2011: I think this may be my most recent alphabet-print dress. I have lots and lots of alphabet-print fabric still, but I haven’t felt the need to make any of it up recently. perhaps because I give fewer dictionary-themed talks these days? […]

I’ve never truly been motivated to knit before, however this may modification my mind — wow, what a dress! Of course, you can’t see the skirt as well as the design looks just a bit as if she were planning a tri-state kill spree, however I’m sure that’s not the fault of the dress. perhaps […]

If the four seasons Seychelles is on your list of possible honeymoon destinations, well, all I can say is that it was truly the most idyllic, magical experience, and made for an absolutely unforgettable start to our honeymoon.
