from Thailand

By

when i came home last night, i found an envelop in my mail box, unsealed. the edge of the envelop was tucked in, but not sealed, and it came all the way from thailand! 
the letter was from rahab ministry in thailand. i mentioned rahab ministry in my etsy profile, but 10% of the purchase you make at vivat veritas is given to rahab. they help support women in prostitution in thailand by providing other means to live. they teach them how to make jewlries and such. i have not yet met them personally, but i get news letters every month, and pray for them.. 
my husband and i went to thailand for honeymoon 2 and a half years ago. although we enjoyed ourselves there, it was also sad to see that sex trade is so prevalent, and sadly, japanese contribute to it very much. i heard that there is a secret tour trip to thailand for men to buy prostitutes and stuff. 
the picture below is a thank you card that i received from them… so sweet! 

andy and i are planning to go visit them in june, hopefully, it’ll really happen!

bride’s maid dress

By


i wish i took better pictures of this dress! i wish ive gone out side to take it. oh well. 
i recently finished this bride’s maid dress for one of my customers. she drew a picture of the dress she wanted, and i made it accordingly. it was a challenge, but good practice. it has a cap sleeve, and back covered in lace, since it is for a religious wedding. i liked the idea of matching the lace in the back with the waist band’s lace. skirt part is slightly mermaid-sh. ive never made mermaid skirt, so i googled it. google is a wonderful thing!
