Finished Cookie Monster's sash for her Communion dress tonight. I couldn't find a nice 3 inch wide ribbon, so i "made" one out of broadcloth. Sliced a piece off 6.5 inches wide x 55 inches long, embroidered the lilies, and stitched it up.
We can't find the usual white shoes sans heels unless purchased from a "european style" retailer, however we can't see the point in purchasing shoes so expensive that what you would spend for them would feed a needy family for a month!(I think that's a more important lesson to pass on, don't you?) So Cookie Monster has decided she'll wear dress shoes she already owns.
Grandma is finished with the dress and we found a headcovering, so i think we're set.
Now to finish memorizing the Act of Contrition! :)
Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the memorizing the Act of Contrition part. I still can't ever seem to get past the "at having offended Thee" part without then confusing it with the Confiteor part of mass, and following up with, "and I ask Blessed Mary ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you my brothers and sisters..."
I guess I need to go to confession more often! But then again, I think I forgot it in the first place because no one has asked to hear me say it since I was at my Catholic elementary school. Priests don't seem to check that stuff up when they get an adult in the confessional booth, lol.
