can there ever really be too much fabric? noooo I don’t think so, there’s nothing better than going shopping in your own sewing room when the mood strikes to whip up something lol! I have plans for all my fabric but I don’t have fabric for all my other plans lol!
AS you celebrate Easter, also celebrate Life & the one who gave you life, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)
I have a few words for her! I’m done! lol!
Lordy Lordy I thought I’d never get this pattern figured out! will I ever make this pattern again? well the juries still out on that one !lol! will I wear it? probably not, it's a little short for my liking, I always jump the gun at cutting my patterns off at the bottom lol!
it looks so much better on Clarice!
even her backside looks good! lol!
the wrap section is sewn into the seam,
even though I’m pretty sure I wont wear it, I do however like how both sides are sewn up, giving it the illusion of wrap dress so there’ll be no surprises, there’s a saying….never say never! sooooo with that thought in mind “if “ I will tweak it into a fuller maxi style, don’t wait too long to see that cause I’m moving on to my next learning session
TA!TA!
this dress was part of The Miss Bossy Challenge hosted by the Monthly Stich, the rules were to pick three patterns you’ve never made before & post them on your blog along with setting up a voting poll, at the end of the month the pattern with the most votes was to be the winner for the challenge & this pattern won by a mud slide
perhaps my other two choices may have been too easy peasy &wouldn’t of been much of challenge nor a learning experience, they both tied at 13 votes each & with Miss Bossy gone lol! I’m ready for some easy sewing lol!
I will always love challenging myself with my sewing I’m not sure what I’ll try my hand at next, maybe buttonholes, just the thought makes me shutter lol!
AND THERE’S NOTHING ELSE TO DO…
lol! how many times have we heard ourselves say that? Have we really ever had nothing to do? I know I haven’t, seems like most times sitting down to lunch & watching TV or a movie is considered a break lol! 
soooo when I have nothing else to do I plan on working at dragging out my patterns & altering them down or up lol! to fit so they’ll be ready when I want to make something, not all at once mind you lol! I always have to massacre my patterns cause I’m short lol!
when I have nothing else to do I am going to work on my quits
when I have nothing else to do I am going to give our closets a good purging & a new look, a closet for him & a closet for me
when I have nothing else to do I’m going to get all my older recipes that my mother-n-law, my Aunt, mom etc has hand written along with pic’s & make a recipe scrap book
one day when I have nothing else to do I’m going to try my hand at fabric dyeing
one day when I have nothing else to do I’m going to read, I love love to read & I miss it, really reading & absorbing what I'm reading not just skimming through but downright curled up with a good book & read lol!
one day when I have nothing else to do I’m going to get a head start on my doll making for my two day Christmas show, Nov. seems so far away but it’ll be here before I can say I’m too busy !
so between, summer coming around the corner, spending as much time as possible at ball parks, the zoo,cookouts, birthday parties,picking out siding & porch designs for the house & so much more, yes there will be lots to do come Summer & much that wll be needed to be done, have to be done ,all my grand babies are an hour away so the grass may go uncut some weekends, the laundry may be put on hold cause how can you say no to these sweet little faces! besides if they all spend the night they can cut the grass & do the laundry while me & the little ones are baking cookies right? lol!
what’s your plans for when you have nothing else to do?
with grand kids growing by leaps & bounds & the older ones being teenagers hanging with friends, now theirs boyfriends lol! it’s a blessing to have them all together in one spot, this past weekend we all met up at the Zoo, a longer trip for us seeing we live the farthest but soooo worth it!
all eight grand kids, all the kids, son-n-laws all together!
then we took them all to celebrate Heather’s (our youngest) birthday
it was full day indeed! by the time Terry & I got back home it was time to go to bed but can’t wait to go it all again!
notice the boyfriend in the shot? lol!
