One of the few things that popular media has injected in our state of mind is that in-laws are meddling people that can potentially ruin your relationship with your better-half. Luckily for me, this is not the case. I consider myself very fortunate to having acquired a second set of parents. It’s like buying one (Mike) and getting two additional goodies, for free! I also find it funny that we share some common similarities. Both of us were classmates during college and got married in mid-20’s. His mother is very artsy-craftsy like me, and his father is very serious and scientific like Mike.

I am telling this because I want to share the wedding dress my ‘nanay’ made. Actually, she made the gowns of all my bridesmaids and flower girls and even my mom’s! Isn’t that amazing???

She also made my graduation dress (and the list goes on…)

Now, I am actually targeting to be as good as her when it comes to making dresses. And as you know, from my previous post, I have tried a few times. I may not be using the sewing machine she gave as much as I want to, because of the hectic work I have and because my toddler loves to mess up with my craft, but I am seriously considering entering a dressmaking class.

Since I have hooked up again in crocheting, one of my current goals is to finish this dress that is taking forever to make! But I am making very very good progress so far.. and I am itching to crochet all the way til my hands burn out.
