OnlySunshine Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' timestamp='1339612026' post='2444332'] How many aprons do you have to make? I need 8, or 6 -- I can't remember. [/quote] [quote name='Lisa' timestamp='1339614702' post='2444348'] Wow, that's a lot! We need four aprons and two postulant outfits. Are you back from Rome? [/quote] Maybe it's a good thing I'm not called to either of those orders. I don't have a sewing machine and I wouldn't last if I had to sew by hand. I'd have to hire a seamstress.

Deus te Amat Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thankfully, one of the sister's mothers, who has made, not only her daughter's aprons, but another girls from my town as wel, offered to make mine. I'm still in Rome, but return Friday. I'm exhausted, so please pardon the bad grammar. Also, Dominic loves you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 DtA- sounds like a deal! By the way, you and your sisters are in my litany of intentions for the Sacred Heart novena that we're doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' timestamp='1339615685' post='2444355'] Yes.

I'd rather have someone who is used to sewing than have the headache of doing it myself. Glad someone is willing to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I GOT A LIVE IN [size=2](almost)[/size]!!! I got an email from the Novice Mistress at St. Cecilia's suggesting the 3 weeks they want for my live-in. The dates are perfect for me, the only thing now is to convince my mother. I'll go whether she supports it or not in the end, I have a house of my own so I can go there if she's going to be that difficult about it. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

AveMariaPurissima Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey Lisa -- isn't pre-aspirancy week coming up soon?

So so so blessed!!!! How are your preparations going? [/quote] amesome! My preparations are going pretty well. I still have several things to purchase, but they shouldn't be too hard to get ahold of. For some of it I'll have to wait until it gets a little closer to fall/winter so that the items will actually (I hope) be available in stores. I have a lot of questions that I need to ask the Sisters. I really should call them, but I keep letting my aversion to making phone calls get in the way. I emailed them several days ago (I don't remember when exactly it was...) about a really important question, but they [i]still[/i] haven't written back to me. Kinda frustrating... I am really excited though!!!!! (85 days!!!) [quote name='Strictlyinkblot' timestamp='1339714132' post='2444771'] I've got news as well.
