Because You Asked
I found the pattern of this skirt a little confusing. And the sizing, on me, is all wrong. Eventually I will learn that I am not a medium. Or a large. I repositioned the buttons last night, and it's still too big. When I feel like removing and sewing five more buttons, I may attempt to reposition the buttons again. But that will be awhile.

I wanted to leave you with a quote that has been running through my head since the new year began. It's one of my favorites and it's worth sharing.
"The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."
I think I'll add this to my growing list of resolutions.

with that, once Mother Teresa was asked what everyday people could do to make the world a more peaceful place. Her reply? "Go home and love your families" how simple and true.
I for one am inspired by the quote you just shared. Thank you!
(oh, and the skirt! love it- too funny that you can't believe your size... I often have to return things after thinking of myself as preggo/postpreggo size- then realize its been a full year since I had a child! not sure how much longer my brain can process not being pregnant or nursing... hmmm.) :P
And that quote is awesome. I really need to post it to my fridge or my mirror or something. I often have had times where it has run through my mind, too. Thank you for sharing.
It is so sweet that Spenser wants to match Mommy. Love the skirt. I have seen a lot of people that made it around bloggy land remarking it is too big on them. I love the color of yours.
P.S. Hope you are able to stretch the contents of your recent package. :O)
Love seeing your and Spenser in your Christmas sweetness. :)
I could've told you were not a large or a medium just by looking at your pictures.
Love the quote!
So true as per your chosen quote by Sister N....
And, that IS a great quote. I think I need to think about it.
You and skirt sizing. You'd think that by now you'd have it down! Silly girl.
But seriously, what an adorable photo. xo
i love the quote, too. how inspiring!
Excellent quote. Couldn't agree more.
