Just a Note About Me...
At six, I sewed my first dress.It was a sadly pathetic, lavender, double-knit simple little thing which lies folded in a cedar chest. My grandma, Charlotte Karolyi, taught me to sew at her sewing machine which had a knee peddle (which at six years old, was a foot peddle for me.) And from that time forward I sewed my clothes.
At seventeen, I was so excited to go to my Junior prom. "Whew-hoo-wow!" I actually had a real date and everything!
And for whatever reason, once again, the color of the dress was lavender! This time, embellished with hand-sewn lavender flowers across the bodice. That first date on April 4, 1981 was true love & almost 30 years later we are still married. I think it was true love. . . or did he just love me for my dress? (And my super-cool hairdo?)
. . . And I am still wearing lavender - whenever.
