Kirsten, I'm so glad you decided to do this group. I'll spend some more time with your blog as well, the first glance looks great. I had contemplated starting...
Hallelujah! A posting! I just hoped this would appeal to someone other than me. Thanks for being here, Helen! For the blog, I brought over all my clothing...
Wearing a black cotton beret today on the back of my head. Have done a bit of maneuvering underneath so that my hair underneath poufs out a bit...I like that...
Today I put my shoulder length thinning hair up in a one barrette twist on the back of my head, and covered it with a triangular scarf I made. It is red and ...
Helen, what kind of place do you work in again? I like that you have the cross on your scarf! So you just wear the scarf tied behind your neck with the...
Maybe I should embroider tiny Orthodox crosses on my berets! The one on your scarf, did you embroider it? Helen Behrens <goldabee@...> wrote: Today I put...
Hi Helen and Kristin! And is "Kristin-Again" the same as Kristin? =) Kristin, I followed you here, through your page on the OC!! I spent most of last night and...
Yup, Kristin-Again is the same as Kristin. And VINO! Hello! It is soooo great to talk to someone who speaks my language! I know, I know, we should get over...
I work at home, in the privacy of my messy studio, doing alterations and custom sewing for a very small clientele. I do the fittings either here, in the ...
No, I machine stitched some narrow rick rack. I have another scarf that I machine stitched some ribbon yarn in place to make the cross. Embroidery is easy, ...
Hello Vino and Kristin, I assume OC is Orthodox Circle? Vino, I know Kristin from the Plainandmodest yahoo group, and through various Orthodox connections....
The nice lady at GNLUSA said I could share this offer with my friends, so here you go. The stuff isn't fancy, but the cut is wonderfully loose. Good basic...
Welcome to our new members! Say, we really should get talking here ... intros most welcome. Hoping everyone had a lovely Nativity ... or do we have any...
Found this quote while reading last night and posted it on my blog: "The consciousness of being perfectly dressed ‘bestows a peace such as religion cannot...
Glorify Him! Kristin, Yes, let's do some intro's and see if we can get a conversational ball rolling here. My name is Helen, I am Christian Orthodox, and took...
Hi, Helen! Great intro. By the way, you inspired me to embroider little 3-bar crosses on the backs of my berets! Sometimes I wonder if my way of dressing...
Kristin, listowner, native of the Pacific NW, Oregonian, 48 years old, blah, blah, Orthodox Christian for 2.5 years. I have been very pleased to find this...
Kristin, I guess my intro didn't make it clear that I don't cover my hair/head all the time either. I did find some convincing verses in one of St. Paul's...
HB, you said "As far as clothing choices go, I tend to blend comfort and drama. I'm tall and noticeable no matter what, and I've discovered that I will never...
Posted a meme on my blog that y'all might find enjoyable. http://offbeatmodestdress.wordpress.com/2007/12/29/spinach-game-meme/ ... Never miss a thing. Make...
Sorry I haven't written for so long. I'll get back to it! Just wanted to let you know, there's a pattern sale, for those who like to sew... I found these...
Christ is in our midst! Say, on Sunday in our after-church discussion time (we call it Theology 101), Father mentioned that how we dress as one of the many...
Actually, I was thinking of getting a bit lively and colorful, because I'm bored of being plain and boring and modest! LOL =) I'm sorry. I'm in a silly mood!...
Vino pointed out that we're told "we shouldn't make our outward appearance look somber and dull, so others won't know we're fasting, and our fasting will be in...
Last year I wore a wooden cross. It was lighter in weight and a heavier burden than my small silver crucifix, because there was no way it was personal...
Ahhh...cool idea on the cross. I saw a leather cuff advertised for Lent in a catalog...it was etched with thorns. The idea is to wear it all during Lent. I...
I wear darker colors to Church services during Lent, and darker head coverings, but don't change my clothing appearance in everyday wear outside of Church. I...
Found this online: "It's good practice to wear simple clothing in subdued colors and grays, without frills or jewelry. Though we should resist going...
Found this nice bit on Lenten dress at Regina Doman's blog: http://houseartjournal.blogspot.com/2007/03/lenten-clothing-fast.html She is Catholic. :-) "When...
