Crown Him the Lord of Life...

...Who Triumphed O're the Grave! 

Lincoln kept trying to wink at Natasha.

 I finished Natasha's dress and Lincoln's bow tie yesterday. With plenty of time to spare before Easter morning. Her dress is from a McCall's pattern with a "Little House on the Prairie" theme from 1983. I was hoping it wouldn't turn out looking too prairie-like but just to be sure, I decreased the puffiness in the sleeve somewhat. She requested 3/4 length sleeves as well. Good plan, since Michigan Easter mornings are never warm and balmy. It was 25* when we woke up this morning. But the sun is shining, the forsythia are blooming, the tulips have buds and there is warmer weather coming.
