Dressing with Dignity and other Topics

 

Hello Dear Ladies,

I hope all is well with you and your home and that you have great plans for improvement.


In the video at the end of this post, I shared how to make these simple apple or pumpkin decor items (you can use different colors depending on the season) with rolls of tissue or string, a cinnamon stick or a small twig and some artificial leaves.


I like to sew my own clothes, but for those who do not sew, I am showing store bought clothing for the home. 

The outfit I wore was purchased years ago at the Walmart to wear at home and is 100% cotton. 

Here it is with an apron...


…and with this embroidered shawl for comfort at home…


...and  to go out away from home, here is the outfit with a jacket and a pair of those woven cotton (also from Walmart) shoes I showed you in a previous post.



These are the books I mentioned in the video,
...and here is the favorite page with the  country/cottage core outfit from The Book of Looks, shown above.

For men, listen to this video and read the comments, which are good. 


As the blue light approaches over the Manse, I pray you all have 
a relaxing evening at home and hope you will take care to have something edifying to read, watch, or do.


There was no crowd here on Thanksgiving but I prepared everything on the previous day and refrigerated it, then re-heated it today. Later I will put single meal size left overs in the freezer.

I spoke a little on the concept of edifying, which means to build up and improve the mind. 

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29

Please enjoy your home while you listen:

Your rolls look so tastey! and I love that you cooked and prepped the day before so you can have a day off! Very inspiring.
And thank you for the teaching on how to make a pumpkin or apple. I just love the burgandy satin one. I am going to try this, with cinnamon sticks!
