Hello Friends,
I hope life has been treating you well!
I have had a week to settle in and while I still miss my family and friends a great deal I am finally getting a little more comfortable with my new life!
With some spare time on my hands last week, I decided to do what any normal 21st century teenager would do….make a dress.
Although it has no blue, it still somehow turned into a 4th of July outfit! (Its been something that I have wanted to do for quite some time!)
So enjoy the photos!




This lovely bouquet was a gift from Mrs. Mary’s (the family I’m housing with) sister!


And then I headed off to the nearby town of Bolivar, where every year they have a huge 4th of July celebration!! My teacher Sarah https://www.ensemblesofthepast.com/ there and we had a lovely time!

We had a picnic, enjoyed live music, and I still can’t believe I got to see real fireworks up close!!!
All and all it was a wonderful evening, and something I am definitely going to have to do again!!!
P.S. For all you who want to know how my journey to Missouri went then go ahead and check out the vlog I made about my journey!
What a fantastic way to celebrate the 4th of July! You always blow my mind away with all the incredibly stylish dresses that you sew! Miss you and are praying for you!

Thank you,
I had a moment of panic about the fit of it, but after a last minute alteration it turned out okay, I will be making another in a blue check fabric!
