First, though, I would like to thank everyone for your kind wishes on my anniversary! I can't believe I have been married half my life. I am definitely not old enough to be married that long! I should have put this up the other day but my scanner software wasn't working properly. So here we are. God, we were kids then!
Monday was our real anniversary. To celebrate, I worked on the sale and DH went to a rehearsal for a Dixieland gig he's playing at Harvard's graduation tomorrow morning. How romantic, eh? I think we might go out this Friday night for a date without kids.But back to reality! Right now, inspired by both Erica's and Cindy's recent reviews, I'm working on Simplicity 3503. I'm making a morphed version of the cap-sleeve view. I'll blog about that later. And I'm making it in a fabric that I've been contemplating for about a year:

Look familiar?

It's the best seller Bold Boho Chic in another colorway
No, I don't have any more, sorry. There were only 6 yards when I saw it so I picked some up for Gigi and took the rest home with me. And speaking of Gigi, I'm going to let her wonderful ability with prints inspire me to get creative and careful with motif placement. Stay tuned!
The Marfy is still percolating. I'm debating on using it for a class I'm going to take with Susan Khalje and Kenneth King this summer, so it may percolate longer. But I haven't decided. Like I say, stay tuned...
Happy sewing!

ooooh. What class are you taking with Ms. Khalje and Mr. King???? Is it in NYC? Can't wait to see your dress.
I am really loving that pattern! I guess I'll have to go and get it and pay full-half-price for it. It would be such a cute dress to wear with thong sandals to the local outdoor pub on a Sunday afternoon. I can't wait to see what you do with that print - I get nothing but compliments on that fabric!
Congrats again, Ann. I'm dying to see that dress on you. Do we think maxis have an age range? Are 50s too old? I know you're not there yet...
I love wedding pictures! You've got that same great smile :)
I love wedding photos too! They are always a gas to see.
You don't realize how fast time has gone past until you look at old photos! The maxi dress is totally cute. It will be beautifulo in your chosen fabric.
Maxi dress looks great. I love them on everyone! Did you make your wedding dress? It is also lovely.
Congratulations! Can't wait to see what you make with that fabric.
Congratulations and God bless! Beautiful fabric.
Happy Anniversary!

Congratulations on your anniversary. And tell us more about your class with Mr King and Ms Khalje.
Belated Happy Anniversary!
You made me chuckle with your recap of how you spent the actual day. It sounded familiar.
Here's why:
17th year--bought roofing mat'ls so 14 yr old. son could learn a new life skill!
25th year, actual day celebration was buying a water feature for our (snake) terrarium...trip was later in the summer.
27th year... rehearsal and such for our daughter's wedding the next day. Told her, her fiance and her in-laws-to-be that the rehearsal dinner wasn't for the kids- it was a party for my honey and me!
28th year (last week, May 30)--we spent it taking pictures and video for his brother's new work project!
You and your husband look very happy on that day half a lifetime ago. Here's wishes for many more happy years.
Your wedding photo is great! Did you make the dress?
Ah, you look just the same as you do today! I recognize the era - my dress was very similar. :-)
Ann - I love who you are and that you are addicted to fabric like me...except you keep taking my money!! I awarded you the Attitude of Gratitude on my blog!
:)
I have some of that fabric in still another colorway so I'll be watching to see what you do with the simplicity pattern...I'm sure it will be inspiring!
I like all of your pretty fabrics you use.
I am 8. Please visit my blog and watch me learn to sew.

My mom has a blog too at www.sewingwithtrudy.blogspot.com
I too love the wedding dress and the fabrics you just posted. I loved the nostalgia of going back to the 1980's era with the style of dress. My dress was also very similar to yours.
Oh my you were so young then...but honestly you don't look that much different now!
