A little summer dress

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your kind comments concerning the previous post.
Here's the third dress I made on the 2nd weekend in June:
A very summery dress, to wear during the holidays!
Pattern: New Look 6459, view E
Sewn in the same 5-euro fabric cut as this skirt.

The kitty at my parents' house invited herself in the picture... She is very beautiful and sweet - we've always been crazy about her at home. I brought her home from a friend's litter... 14 years ago. Well, she's still in perfect health! She's always ruled over the dogs and cats of the house.
~*~
The end of the year is almost upon us... Seb and I shall be on holiday next Saturday!
Fortunately, Violette is giving Seb a hand in grading his very last exams.

... If the students knew what happens to their papers!

I might add an update later tonight...
I realize blogging and interacting with you friends is good for my spirits!

What an absolute treat to sit down for a few minutes at the computer and find an update from you! The dress in this picture is lovely - if it were warmer and I was in better shape, it's exactly the summer dress I would want. :>

It looks like Violette takes her exam-grading responsibilities very seriously - those students are in good paws!

WOW! Such a beautiful picture if you and SEb. Thanks so much for sharing. Your dress looks gorgeous too. You are such a very talented lady. Congrats on all your creations. Have a nice week.

YOu're the perfect model for summer frocks. Light and airy, but still modest. I once had a journalism prof in college who hated sensationalism. He often warned us thatif we stooped to muckraking for a "good story." he would shred the paper, put it in his dog house and return it to us three days later so we'd understand the meaning of "yellow journalism." My guess is Violette only sheds on these papers.

Lovely dress Isabelle! I think that's my favourite of the three :)

LOL at Violette - cat's just love to lie on stuff, don't they?!

Dear Isabelle,
So lovely to see your post which is always so inspiring with your lovely work and gifties. And of course can't leave our Voilette who has a way of not only spreading herself on papers but in our hearts as well.
I am glad you are feeling up to writing a bit and I am sure you are looking forward to your well earned holidays.

Isabelle, if I ever get to Europe and visit France, it will be for one reason, and that reason is to visit you and cuddle Violette!!! Every time you post another photo of her, I just melt all over my computer..

And yet another beautiful dress! It looks wonderfully cool and cheery for the summer. :) Violette is such a loving little gal, isn't she? Just wants to be near the both of you! I'm so glad that your holidays start on Saturday. YAY!
