The good news is: I finally finished my asymmetric plate wall in my dining room. My dear sister, who was here for Mother’s Day, even approved. And she’s not usually a fan of anything asymmetric.
The bad news is: I fear I may be channeling Mrs. Roper from 3’s Company. I’ve taken ‘house dress’ to a whole new level.
Michele says
Mrs.Roper never looked so good! I love it š And love the new house and the plates. oh, love it all! Congrats! š
Lauren says

Gina Williams says
Wow…you do resemble Mrs. Roper! How funny sis! And yes, the plates look great!
Sheri says
Laughing at your Mrs. Roper get up. To be honest you look extremely comfortable and cute as always.

Edie, this is hillarious! I love it! At least your trying to make your comfy clothes have a bit of flair. :)I also love your assymmetric wall decor. I can’t wait to see more pics from the mother’s day tea.
Trina says
Bhahahahaaaaaah…!!!
Sidnie says
Love the plates on the wall. It looks great!!
And I LOVE wearing sweats under my dresses! š It’s the most comfortable house dress out there! And it’s a plus cause you can just strip the sweats before Hubby walks through the door, and you look CUTE! š
angela says
I’ll bet the OLDER kids had a fit when they saw you in this! You are still adorable!

Kim says

Debra says
Love your plate wall. Well, at least you look cute! š
Vicki K says
I love asymmetry! You have inspired meto get a move on and get my plates up (in the kitchen). What have you decided about painting the walls? The sweats? well,…ahem…
Elizabeth says
Love the wall! I wish I had such a creative eye for those types of things. Sweats and a dress looks so cute and is probably just as comfy! š
Marty@A Stroll thru Life says

Miriam says
Loving the plate wall.
I have to say I do this all the time, with leggings or yoga pants under my dresses because my legs get *cold* in our 1880s house! We’re in good company, aren’t we?
Erin from Skoots and Cuddles says

Kelly says
That is hilarious! And you even added the necklace!
Denise says
LOL!
the domestic fringe says
LOL! That’s great. Sometimes at the end of a day, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and wonder how my outfit could have evolved over the course of a day.
Love your plate wall and beautiful painting. Are those tissue paper balls in the photo? I keep seeing those everywhere and am so tempted to make a few. I just can’t figure out how to dust them, but then, I doubt a little dust can hurt. š

Hi Edie! I love your new banner. The plates look fantastic… I find asymmetric so hard to do right.
Love, Michelle
P.S. Mrs. Roper was kinda hot, no?
Sarah says
I’m loving the plates AND the house dress.
My only advice would be to trade the sweats in for some capri leggings. Still comfy and practical, yet slightly more fashionable. I own a pair and love them. I look feminine yet don’t have to sit all lady like! ;>
God’s blessings,
Sarah š
Get Your Martha On (Anne) says
You’d look lovely in burlap. š
You remind me in looks of Miranda Lambert. Is that her name? I think that’s her name. Country singer. Does those cotton commercials …

Kristi says
LOL I love your outfit, Mrs Roper and all! I loved her on that show! And I love your DR wall!! Looks fantastic! I’m waiting with baited breath for your kitchen. I went and priced the doors I was eyeballin’ and almost had cardiac arrest, LOL. There might need to be a plan B, lol! š

Love your assymetrical plate wall!
Trudy says
Perhaps not…perhaps you just happen to be extrordiarilly honest Edie. Comfort should always rule at home.
Karrie Ann says
Oh, Edie! Did you read the blog of Veith today? (go now if you haven’t) I didn’t even know that CCLA existed! I am elated! Kansas City is only a 2 hour drive for me!
Anxiously awaiting your next home schooling post! You are such an inspiring lady!
God Bless You, Edie! …and that beautiful family of yours!
