Time Keeps Ticking by....

Haven't done anything for awhile, weather has been so lovely crappy and just haven't got there lol...something like a writers block? Who knows.But when the weather has been nice I've been outside as much as possible.  Have some velcro to sew on tonite and just going to get at it! Dresses are heading up to the Okanagan this weekend to the Farmer's Market :)

But on a brighter note, my daughter had gone to Ikea and I asked her to look for a little mirror for the dressing room  kitchen for the pugs to admire themselves. And she found a great little one for them.

So time for the velcro to be sewn and hopefully back to the machine in the next week.

Smiles and sunshine.

Rain..........what rain.........another trip to the store :)


Ok the rain has just sent me on a  trip to the fabric store...........such devastation, coming back with Rain gear fabric! Not today but sometime in the near future.  Of course if the sun comes out, yes lets be optimistic shall we, I won't be sewing much at all. So on that note we know that there will be new surprises this week. Got some cute green too same as the yellow on the Sunny Day Dress, and some plaid!!! For the Olivia Kilt.

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!

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