Finished The Sunny Day Dress

Wow......finally finished! And a bit of a sunny day today too so of course took advantage of the outdoors, well aside from the Costco trip......but got some great yard stuff so all in all it was AOK!

So this evening as the TV is blaring away ....I really truly don't like surround sound and I am not a TV watcher ......so as devastated as I was............ I run to the sewing room and finish it up!

Isabella was not a willing participant to model the dress and the color is not her best......Ms Olivia was sleeping soundly after all her yard play today so just was not going to get up to do anything! But if the truth be known I do think it is more a black girl color and would look so bright and cheery!

Some unfinished sunshine....

Oh it is such a glorious loveley sunny day horrid day of rain outside. Makes one not motivated in the least bit. When one should be outside enjoying the yard and the sunshine.

Started a bit ago on the Sunny Day Dress.....but have to now head out in the rain......finish it up tonite.

Well tonite has come.............just not motivated..........something about this liquid sunshine just doesn't do it for me tonite.....jammies here i come.......

Caged Scraps.........

Waiting for the company for our Mother's Day dinner :)  But in the meantime we have a basketfull of scraps......

The 1st attempt...................

Well for the handsome gentleman in the group a business tie is in order! The first attempt is not how I envisioned it to be and it is just a temporary design with scraps.........plus a morning when I really should be getting ready for work.

Piles and Piles......

Well this sunny weekend the machine did not move......but brush & dirt piles did. Blisters on blisters but in the end it will all be worth it. Every year the trees grow bigger and need more attention.........sigh.......the bones get older and slower but so thankful I have a nice yard.

The piles of fabric sits............so what next?

The Olivia Garden Dress

What started out as a totally different dress last nite was ripped out of the machine due to major malfunction.....

So out came some other fabric and The Olivia Garden Dress was created. This is a heavier cotton material for the cool spring evenings of the early mornings while you have your cuppa tea in the garden.

Pressy....from Nancy

Nancy at my work brought me a presant today to put in my sewing room to inspire me!! Got to love Nancy!
