And what a challenge to achieve a cool look in your garden! Plus all your hardscape is so heavy - those stones. Wow. I've used some in paths, bought in bags.

I thought the same thing you did when I first saw this pattern: similar to that vintage Mccall's, but hopefully without some of the hassle. I've bought and printed it, and hope I have time to make it soon! Thanks for the tips on the neckline as I will probably need similar alterations.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258135026180386881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-47255308153308420402015-04-23T06:38:30.756-04:002015-04-23T06:38:30.756-04:00Thanks, Lori.

I have a small garden snake that likes to climb the tomato vines. He's as green as they are except he has a yellow stripe the length of his body on both sides. After I realize it is him; I talk to him and he gets his little tongue working very fast sticking it out at me. I guess he's telling me to leave him alone==I do anyway, but he must get in the last word.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345674465845908156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-3953681739354230532015-04-21T22:31:31.035-04:002015-04-21T22:31:31.035-04:00That is gorgeous fabric and a gorgeous dress on yo...That is gorgeous fabric and a gorgeous dress on you!

I grew up in Florida and I will always remember when I was in basic training in Texas a lizard crawled up the wall in our barracks. There was about 5 or 6 girls that ran screaming from our building. The southern girls were all looking around trying to figure out what happened. LOL. The runners got into quite a bit of trouble....poor things.....although I may have ran with them if it had been a palmetto bug!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250859875288043856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-44704970790613925922015-04-21T16:48:44.579-04:002015-04-21T16:48:44.579-04:00Your dress is beautiful and I appreciated your ide...Your dress is beautiful and I appreciated your idea for lowering the but dart and I'll try it.
