Finally at the sewing machine

Yeah! My sewing area has been mostly clean an usable for the last couple of weeks with NO time to use it! So today I ceased the chance to FINALLY get some work done!

I finished:
A dress for the princess I designed (see picture)
Learned how to do a blind hem and altered 1 pair of my pants and 2 skirts for my mil.
AND picked out a couple patterns to work on for me cause even my 3 year old knows mommy needs some new clothes!

So here's to getting some work done and hopefully working my way through the ever growing stash of material at my house!

In a time when nothing is more certain than change, the commitment of two people to one another has become difficult and rare. Yet, by its scarcity, the beauty and value of this exchange have only been enhanced. ~Robert Sexton

Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity. ~Author Unknown

Almost no one is foolish enough to imagine that he automatically deserves great success in any field of activity; yet almost everyone believes that he automatically deserves success in marriage. ~Sydney J. Harris

Green thumb? Not hardly!

My last garden, out of the approximately 15 plants, I had 1... yes you read that right just one plant that gave me a very small fruit. Ah. Its a start anyway. I got attacked by grasshoppers - about 100+ of the little suckers so most of my plants haven't made it at all. Will be posting a list later on my list of plants and how they do
