Pretty blue and white cotton dress

I've had this photo for ages and wanted to share it.  It's from an exhibition in London at the V&A.  The pretty silhouette (there was no designer noted for the dress) and airy cotton lawn is dreamy and lovely like the clothes in MAD MEN.  I'm thinking of making it out of two different Liberty prints - I have just enough of one print for the top and the other for the skirt and the bow ... .

Bluebells


I was so inspired by the bluebell woods in the movie "Bright Star", that I had to have my own. So I have been waiting for the rain to lift to plant some bulbs. I purchased a hundred bulbs in the green from the English eBay seller, Woodlandbulb. The bulbs cost about $20.90 plus shipping. They lift the bulbs from their own field, as it is illegal to take the increasingly rare flower from the wild in Britain.

I'm not expecting many flowers this year, but gardening is about long term planning.

16 and Pregnant

Last nights 16 and Pregnant was heartbreaking. Valerie seemed so alone. Valerie was adopted and you could feel her longing for a family. Her adoptive family was great and stood by her, but something was just missing. Maybe she was lost in the midst of all the adoptive (11) and foster children (over 90).

And then she her daughter, Nevaeh was born so ill that she had to taken by helicopter to the nearest children's hospital. It was the saddest episode yet. Yes, even sadder then when Catelynn gave her daughter up for adoption.


If last season was about fathers who were at least trying to make an effort, the boys so far on this season are baby daddies in the true Maury sense of the words. They are jerks to their very cores. Valerie's baby daddy, Matt even denied  that the baby was his.

Watch the full episode below:


And if the show was sad, the aftershow was even worse. She knows that Matt isn't really going to be there but she still holds out hope.

Facebook

There was a Facebook page created for this blog, problem is I'm not the one who created it. I had no idea until I started getting emails inviting me to join groups. If another one pops up it has nothing to do with this blog. I'm just not a Facebook person.

Clothes For Skinny Kids


It is relatively easy to find clothes for "husky" kids (Probably due to the fact that kids are getting heavier right along with the rest of the American population.), but really hard to find pants that will fit a skinny kid. My youngest son is Rachel Zoe skinny and pants either fit in the waist and are to short, or they are long enough and he's swimming in them. My go to source for pants that actually fit him is the Gap. He practically lives in the Flat Front Khakis. And he can actually wear a size 10 instead of a 7 is so short that he looks like he is waiting for a flood.

And if your boy is Husky, Gap has you covered too. In fact, it's the exact same link. Prices start at $19.50.
