Day 165 - 6:20 AM my time

a very very long time ago in my home economics sewing class, i sewed a golden corderoy outfit for my baby sister Nancy .. i was so proud of the outfit, of the way it looked on her and how she modeled it during the annual fashion show that my school held to show off their students handiwork

Nancy and i have been discussing this memory for ages now and this weekend i actually found a picture of her wearing that outfit

talk about memories that bring a smile to my face !!  so of course i have to share the picture here, in my journal .. sorry the quality is so poor but at least you can still make out the beautiful smile of this beautiful little girl

All I can say wow!  I still can't even sew on a button.  Great.  Her smile is truly wonderful!  Blessings, Penny http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere

Just a note, unrelated to this particular entry... Now that you are using the AOL UK journaling tool, I expect to see the proper English spellings of words like Colour, Honour, and Corduroy.

I remember the ONLY item I made. It was for home ec and it was a madras plaid jumper. It came out lovely but it was two sizes too big for me! The home ec teacher loved it and I gave it to her. Don't know which gave me an A for that class! Actually I think it was my cooking skills. Holiday hugs, Nelle

Ahh I just wish the picture was of you and me together... I'm so glad you posted it! I have so very few like flashy memories of this, but when I saw the pic, I remembered being the center of attention, just like I liked it :-P You were and are a wonderful big sister - I love you so much. Okay, enough happy tears at work today :-)
