Just cut it....

After pouring over hundreds of mid-late 1800's dresses for little girls, I finally decided on a style I wanted for Emilie. Since we were being snowed in, And Sarah had been babysitting for us so aw spent the night. We got to talking and I decided to just take the plunge!

I got all the pieces cut out that night :)

Next morning we found out our water was frozen so Grace had the plan to have Timothy drive the tractor and we all go on a "hayride" down the driveway to their house! So I packed up the sewing machine and brought it with us...yep, I sure did!!

Once at thee house I began to see my vision together...

Ruffle~

Bias along neckline~

And finally, the completed dress~

But you can't see her in it until Purim party time!!!

Unless I break down out of suspense.

Maybe.

Lame attempts at Challah

Challah.

I had an idea that this delicious bread would be a hurdle for me. So after staring at a recipe for a good 3 weeks, I finally today tried my hand at it.

All was well until it was dough raising time. It just wouldn't rise!!! Sigh.

It tasted good but was pretty dense...

No definition where I braided it either. :( I feel like I need a solid month to mourn before I try again. But I will try again, don't worry!!
