My apologies for the lapse in blogging. We had our wedding in Maryland and I am still in the recovery phase. Bear with me while I ease back into ordinary life with random subject posts.
It was beyond wonderful, a beautiful, beautiful wedding with all my family together.
There are so many pictures, these ones are of the morning after brunch. Below are my husband, oldest grand-daughter and me, with my daughter and little grandson in the back.
I made a ponte Esme top from Stylearc and a knit skirt (more on that later) for the breakfast. The top was great but as you will see the longer part at the back stuck to the skirt in a way that has put me on a sugar free diet since I got home. There are always pictures like that and I probably should have worn Spanx, but I think they are cruel to body parts that have already been through a lot, like producing grooms.

| More of my family and my rear end, oh well. However there is a sewing educational point to be made here and I am making it |
Here are shots of the Esme at home so you can see it more closely. A basic T shirt with a collar split at the back and cap or full sleeves. A good basic if you have the sense to wear it over a woven. The designer picture has the collar standing up but my ponte was soft and it folder over just fine.
I am returning to blogging, not to worry, but needed to catch my breath first. Much more to come.
I feel some flypaper thoughts coming on.
Congrats on getting through the wedding. Glad it was everything. That is a lovely shirt. g
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family and I loved your Esme top. I hesitate to share, but I go up 1 size for spanx. One size larger lets me breathe and is so much more comfortable. Besides I know I'm not really going to hid these extra pounds just keep them from jiggling.
ReplyDeleteI like the top and in defense of Spanx there are some that don't harm body parts - just do their jobs and keep you looking good! *LOL* Congrats on the wedding!
ReplyDeleteOh I know that feeling!! It sounds like our children had weddings right around the same time (my daughter was September 19) and It sure took a while for me to recover, too.
ReplyDeleteYour Style Arc top is cute!
Handsome family!
ReplyDeleteRe: knit top - Spanx or no Spanx, I have the same rear view look as you - only mine is much bigger. Alas, I have no solution. Even weight loss doesn't solve the problem.
