I started on my new design today.  So far I’ve mostly sewn for toddlers and I am trying to branch out into larger sizes.  My oldest niece we be turning 7 on the 14th.  It’s important that my sewing and design ability grows with her.  She is at the age right now that she absolutely loves to wear and try on things that I have made for her.  I’m trying to make her as many things as possible because who knows when she will start to turn my clothes down for brand names.  Of coarse one could always hope that one day I WOULD be considered a brand name some day.

So, I finished cutting out my new design today and I get going pretty good.  Then I realize that I don’t have the right size zipper or the right color of thread.  I hate having to stop mid project to run and get supplies, but I need to pick up a few other things from the store anyway.

Off to the store I go.  Of coarse it takes me an hour before I can get back and get back to it.  Again, I was going along pretty good. Then I get a wild hair and decide that I need to download some music from iTunes.  Only one problem, I can’t find my USB cord for my ipod.  Being one not to let things go, I tear up the house looking for it.  Seriously, there are only so many places it could be.  I looked in every box, every draw, the garage, the trash, and even accused my cat of hiding it from me.  The very last place left for me to possibly look was under the couch cushions.  And there it was.  Stuffed about as far back as it could go between the middle cushions.  I also found my missing finger nail file and two, not one, but two bottles of nail polish that I have also been looking for, for days.  Despite her denials I still think it was my cat.  Needless to say I didn’t get much else done on my dress today and I since I will be out of town for the weekend it will have to wait till next week.  But, I thought I’d give you a sneak peak.

Until next time

Good Friday Morning!

It’s time for the Friday Follow and another chance to find some great blogs.  Add your link and they will be able to find you too.

This weekend I am meeting up with some of my old college friends. I am so excited! It has been about 6 months since the last time we got together and I’m really looking forward to hanging out with my pals. We are going to The Gaylord Texan outside of Dallas.

I’ve never been there but have heard some fabulous things about it.  Indoor shopping, spas, and bars.  The rooms are suppose to be beautiful and I think they overlook  Lake Grapevine. There will be a Superbowl Party too!!!  Bonus, it’s all free!

The best part about the whole thing is getting to share it with my friends and  forgetting about life for a couple of days.  Here’s to a stress free weekend!  I’ll take pictures and share the fabulousness of the Gaylord when I get back.

Hope you have a stress free weekend too!
