June is my month to celebrate

June is our month to celebrate, My birthday on the 13th , his birthday on the 22nd, and our wedding anniversary on the 15th.

This picture was taken at our 20th anniversary celebration.

Needless to say the childrens birthdays follow July, August and September and a short break then Feburary. Then it starts all over again.

Real Talk - A new day!

Thank God for a new day, a new week. Another chance to get it right. When people affect your life, negatively or positively - choose to draw what helps you from the relationship. Make it work for YOU. It's easy to take the positive, but use the negative as a learning tool. Learn about the person and then learn about yourself. What are you willing to tolerate?

This the Birthday girl in her second dress. I used Butterick #5323 view A. There are jewels on the waistband - I glued and sewed them on.

Me and the Birthday girl.

These are the girls from her court. The dresses are made from Butterick # 5457 view E. The pleats in these dresses gave me a problem but once I did the first 2 , it was full steam ahead.

Oh, the young lady second from the left is my daughter.

Unfortunately , I didn't get a good shot of the first dress, i used Mc Call #6029.

Update

Good Day everyone

It's been ages since I have been on my blog. I have been sewing and looking at other blogs. But, mainly I have been taking care of my son , he had open heart surgery on May 24th. The operation went well, with minimal complications. He is now on the mend - he is 19 and thinks he is superman, but his body is telling him otherwise, lol.
The surgeon said "it's was the biggest defect I've ever seen", I am giving God thanks that it was found and could be repaired. I meet several people at the hospital who had children that needed new hearts , one as young as 7 months old. For them I am praying also.

I will be posting some pics soon.

Until then - peace.
