More updates to come!
I'm also working on pictures of our house, built in 1900! My parents, hubby and I have spent the several years remodeling. Maple hardwood flooring is going in. Most of the tile floors are done (and that includes under floor heat in kitchen and bath)!
Our house -- built in 1900 -- see Kellogg Hollow
Yellow solid & stripe. I don't honestly know when I completed this one, but I did wear it (one very muddy day) at Winter Range!

Yummy paisley that I happen to have fringe to match! Miss Tabetha is making me a custom corset and I've attempted a parlour madam outfit to go with it. Possibly have enough fabric to make a day dress if I put the right coordinating fabric with it. Shawn from La Victorian Rose Millinery made an outstanding custom hat for me. Oh, this is soooo much fun!!!! And my Mom says I look like a "hussy." (Not sure she meant that as a compliment either!). <wink>
Wonderful mauve/burgundy stripe that I got at a fabulous price. Now what? Oh! I've found it -- 1876 it's got to be! This is making up beautifully and Shawn from La Victoria Rose Millinery made the perfect hat for me! Exciting!

Another wonderful find, love dots and at a price I couldn't refuse... 99 cents a yard! Premiered at the Oregon State Championships August, 2009.
Found a nice blue-gray and made this for Western States 2009... (Somehow didn't get a pic wearing it -- yet!). Can't decide if I look more like a nurse or a housekeeper, but there it is. Tad Bit loves me and says I can wear anything I like from now on. LOL!
