Well today is a party for sure with lots of celebrating going on!  My oldest son was married last night, and what a wonderful day and evening we had! This is the new bride and groom!  It was an outdoor wedding at the "Curve Rock", a place that was a big part of all three of my sons lives as they were growing up.  Located behind our house, they camped there often as young boys and even more often as teens and young men!  It was a very special wedding in many ways!!

I have several things to celebrate today and as usual it is party time at Glo Sews! This is my last weekend before school starts here in my little area of Tennessee and I intend to celebrate my last few days of total freedom!  I am usually happy when this time of year rolls around but this year, not so much!  I didn't get around to a lot of the things I had planned on doing and now I find I simply don't have time.  Well I guess there is always next summer!

Well I finally finished a dress for my daughter that I have been working on all summer and for that reason I am ready to party!! It seems that this summer has been so filled with other things that I have not been able to do a lot of the things I wanted to do and now it is almost time for school to start and for me to go back to work.  UGH! Now that I have finished the dress I can stop feeling like I have unfinished business to tend to and relax these next ten days or so! Come on and join in my Bring your own 'Blog Party Celebration! Add your blog to the list below and I will check out your blog!  All I ask is that you Like me on my Facebook link and if you use google please follow me!  Thanks, and let's get this party started!

My great-niece recently celebrated her 4Th birthday.  Everyone attended the event that was held at my sister's house and were greatly entertained by this "Little Princess".  LOL She is all into everything Princess so of course I had to tackle a sewing project just for her. I made her a princess skirt out of netting and tulle. It turned out rather cute, but I am not at all sure I would do it again. I had no idea where to even start and had to muddle my way through. I did finally get it all together and was happy with the finished product.

This summer I have taken part in two sew-a-longs with Simplicity on Facebook.  One was a zippered skirt sew-a-long and one was a summer tote sew-a-long.  They were both great and I really enjoyed them.  The camaraderie between the members is fantastic and everyone is so very encouraging.
