follow link I have been sitting on some exciting news for over a month now, but it’s time to announce that Matt and I have gotten engaged! He proposed in the most amazing and perfect way, in my garden, at dusk, with a ring attached to a garden gnome. It was a beautiful Friday evening and he lured me out to the garden, under the guise of picking snap peas for a salad. He even had champagne hidden behind one of the feed troughs, for when I inevitably said yes.

I asked Matt if he wanted me to make him something and he said it brought to mind the episode of the Cosby Show where Denise makes Theo a shirt.

    1. go Oh my gosh! How cute is that dress? I have looked at Victory Patterns before, but haven’t sewn any yet. That could definitely work. Thanks for the tip!

  1. go Lilly! Oh I’m so excited for you two:) getting married is FUUUUUN!
    I’m down to be a sounding board if you need it. I’ve made 2 wedding dresses and its no simple task! I totally know you can do it and make it beautifully. My first piece of advice: have a backup dress in mind “just in case”. It’ll help take some stress & pressure off the dress project so you can enjoy doing it! Sounds like you are giving yourself time. I can’t wait for you to get married in your handmade dress! I envy you, I planned to do it & chickened out! Lilly you can do it! Way to go lady! And again congrats!!
