Beach pictures are coming...but for now here's my newest project!



During our last visit to NC, my friend Beth mentioned how cute one of my pillowcases would look as a dress. I had never made a pillowcase dress before, but decided to try. A few weeks ago I did a little search online to find an easy pattern and printed one out. Last week I finally decided to make one. The first one I made was from a pillowcase that was my childhood bedding. The second one was just a beautfiul one with a little detailing on it that I took from my Mom's house before she moved. I tried the first one I made on Gracie this morning before church hoping she could wear it, but the armholes are too small. I tried changing where I tied the ribbon, but it just kept falling off of her arm. I have another pillowcase in that pattern, so I'll try it again this week. She wore the white one Friday night to dinner and she was adorable in it.

On Friday we had playgroup at the Cook's house and enjoyed a morning of swimming and eating by the pool. I'll get those pictures from Suzanne's camera and post those later this week.

My cousin Kristi has set up a website for her husband Zach on Caring Bridge. I have mentioned Kristi and Zach to some of you and appreciate your prayers for them. I know they would continue to ask for prayers for Zach's healing and recovery. Please visit the website for more information and updates. You can read about the initial incident under "My Story" and then click on "read story" for the rest. Kristi is updating the site on a regular basis as things change with Zach. The site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/zacharynoland.
