Look at this beautiful stack of fabrics that Marcie of The Rustic Victorian sent me.....they look so French to me ~ what an angel she is! She's become a little muse to me ~ I've just got to make something with these quick....lavender sachets? Thank you sweet friend, I promise I'll turn this fabric into something pretty!
I'm making a few more of these bird girl dresses for some sweet friends ~ I know, it's taking me way too long! I test the size first by printing the images onto regular paper ~ then I print them onto the fabric.
What is it about the fabric with beautiful images on it?? I just love they way they look on speckled muslin!
When I was outside today I noticed the peach tree in our yard has the sweetest pink buds on it. Our spring is soon approaching here in Georgia. I think that baby Clara will bring it with her, don't you? Emily is getting tired very easily and is about ready for this to happen. She's due March 20th....we are all so looking forward to meeting this precious little girl ~
A sweet image for you:
"I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn."

Wishing you a wonderful Friday sweet friends ~

What a beautiful image and I love the Thoreau quote. Thank you for sharing those with us.
I will keep Emily & Clara in my prayers ~ it will be easy to remember them as I pray for my daughter-in-law Jacqi and her little Penelope. Her due date is March 28th. Jacqi has been having problems with her blood pressure and has been put on bed rest. That makes her first pregnancy all the more stressful. But we know God is in control.
What a joy it will be when these sweet babies arrive!
Dawn, I`m so looking forward seeing my little babydress, but you know:"do`nt stress" sweet, It will be a wonderfull spring surprice and it looks so beautifull.
Thanks for the wonderfull print, ill use it on an Easter-egg,and the Thoreau saying thankyou.
Wishing the parents to be, a peacefull time till Clara is here.
Love and hugs to you.

Hey Dawn, I just bought really great fabric like that at Walmart!! Who knew. Love the dresses. Clara will be so sweet in them. Can't you just picture it- hot summer day, a little muslin dress...
Heading your way at the end of April for a Southern Getaway with my BFF Tammy and some other friends- can't wait!!
Yes, Clara will bring spring with her! What a lovely thought.
Thank you for the tip about images on material...testing them on paper first. I should tell you about my experience with your "Dreaming" image someday. Ha! It's pretty funny now, but it certainly wasn't at the time.

Hello Sweet Dawn,
Ohhhhhh I so agree printing on my white or ivory "everyday" cottons are soooooo beautiful!!! Every time I do some I send you a big thank you for "perfecting" the method :) The fabric I've been using is the homespun cottons that were used for working clothes here.
Take care sweetie,
Pattie ;)

Time does fly, soon you will be our little Grandmother. A new life, what a wonderful blessing.
Your heart will burst with love, of course it already is, but when you hold her, that first momment is remarkable. So Dear Dawn, I will be thinking of you and your family as you take this wonderful adventure.
And I love that fabric! Is it wool or cotton? Your Mary
Oh, the dresses are going to be just darling! The fabric is fantastic too. I am sure you will put it to good use. Tell sweet Emily to hang in there, I know that last stretch is so hard and tiring. Blessings on mother and baby!
Love that fabric, so great! I love the little dress too...you have the best ideas.
