~ Prayers Needed For My Husband ~

I am a Christan that believes in the power of prayer .

My husband ,Leo, will have surgery on Monday at 7:00 . I am asking my blogger friends to help me pray that all goes well with the surgery. He has a very enlarged prostate. Its not cancer Thank God!! So they will go in and reduce its size . He will have a 4 day hospital stay . They will go thought the low abs then through the bladder to get to the prostate . I know.... hate to think about it but he will be feeling so much better after its all done and healed
Thanks friends !!!
Will give an update when I can ......

Turning A Wedding Dress Into A Baby's Christening Gown

That is just what I did last week .

You could say I have been busy !!! But really enjoyed doing this for a friend .

Wished I had thought to take a picture of the wedding dress but I didn't .The top part of the Christening Gown is the original front of the wedding dress . I put the pattern front over the front of the wedding dress and cut it out . I removed the lace on the sleeves and from the bottom of the dress .

The dress is from the 1970s . Not overly fancy and full but every bit as beautiful !!

Also made the handkerchief bonnet . Added the lace from the dress to it and also put a ribbon bow on each side of the bonnet . The small bit of ribbon is the only thing I need to buy to make this christening gown and bonnet

~ Roman Shades I Made ~

These are stationary roman shades . They don't roll up ,just stays in the same position .I found the tutorial HERE so fast and easy,about 2 hours and it was done. The only thing I did different is I didn't use the wood at the top.I made a heading about 2 1/2 inches and used a spring tension rod instead . Love it ,my husband just got on a stool and adjusted the rod and it was hung!!!

The cornice looks brown but its a dark olive .....

~ What To Do With 4 Inch Sq. Fabric~

I won some of these 4 inch sqs. on Ebay.

Now just wondering what is a good pattern to use to make blocks. I got a great deal on them. 50 for .99 (told you I was a good shopper) Got a good bit of them to make a quilt. Also bought some 6 inch denim sqs too and a good price .
