May 2013 Update

Twelve Monogram Egg by Faberge from Hillwood Estates

Photo of the Twelve Monogram Egg by Faberge is from Hillwood Estates. Spring 2013 has brought a huge workload with a second job that I do for my state's legislature during each spring session. At this job, we have had a co-worker absent on family medical leave for the entire spring, necessitating constant overtime hours for me that have left little time or energy for the website. The end is in view, so within a couple of weeks, hopefully the updates will return to this website and work will continue to go forward with sewing pattern publishing. Thank you for your patience!

New Modest Clothing Links for February 2013

Heart for Valentine's Day

February is the month we celebrate Valentine's Day in the United States, and I hope yours was a happy one whether you did anything special for it or not. Valentine's Day can be a day that we honor people who have invested in our lives in many areas. February is such a busy month for me, with the start of my work for my state's legislative session which lasts through the end of May, that I have not had time to properly update this website with many new modesty resource links. If you would like to check out some of these resources before I post official reviews, here is a list.

Modesty Dress Code Issued for 2013 Grammy Awards

(Screenshot courtesy of 2013grammyalbum.com.) Having never watched the Grammy Awards other than a few clips caught online or in the news, I was unaware of the decency problem faced by CBS in broadcasting the event until I read about it online. We all know that red carpet events are not known for modesty, but the recording industry's premier awards event has apparently been among the worst for attendees who have pushed the boundaries of acceptable attire.
