Redo

I'm much too tired to do a typical post. It's been a week of lousy weather here and we're experiencing a bit of cabin fever. Cloudy days can really shift my mood. I feel lethargic, unproductive, unmotivated, and my mood tends to be on edge. But mostly I'm just tired.

I have managed to find the energy to work on the dress for Saturday. Above is a picture. Oh, the neckline... so much work. So many times did I take that apart and put it back together again thinking "this must be it; this has to work!" only to find out, once again, that I didn't do it correctly. I still have the inside to hand stitch into place, and I'm not really sure that's how it's supposed to be done. Pattern lingo and I (the one who typically makes everything up) don't mix. I'm thinking because I chose this brown linen that I either look like a monk or like I'm wearing a potato sack. Monk or not, it will be worn on Saturday after all this work. You'll get the full view tomorrow...

Oh, and how to you like the new look? I thought it was time for a banner change. I had a compilation of three winter scenes all ready to go, but after this week of lousy weather I decided I've had enough of winter! Pudgy little fingers playing the piano? Perfect, if I say so myself.

I have a La Leche League meeting to rush off to, but when I get home, I'd be happy to help you with the handsewing lingo (I'll need to pull my pattern out from under the massive pile of stuff that I've since thrown on top of it first).

And you don't look like a monk OR a potato sack. Silly, sweet Erin.
