Oh, cute pattern! Should be an easy alteration to bring the
CF and CB a little higher. Are you going to teach her to do
an invisible zipper? ;-)

That's sweet. ;-)

Smart girl. I discovered a few years ago that long and longish dresses
were much more comfortable than slacks and jeans. I fought eczema on my
shins for over a year, and as a result quit shaving my legs, but I don't
really want to show it off or get into braiding and beading. ;-) Pants
were ok, if they weren't too tight, but then I made a long split skirt
and found it to be ideal - and garnered lots of compliments. From there
I went to dresses and haven't looked back.

I found that using Nad's (NAYY) to remove my hair knocked back my eczema
significantly.

That's interesting. Thanks. If I decide to get fancy, I'll try it.
One thing I've noticed about my aging body is that the hair is getting
sparse where it used to be thick, and getting thick where it used to be
sparse. What's up with that, anyway? :-(
