i think i can


getting all enthusiastic. thinking positive. optimistic even. here i go again. being a worry wort. leanne, it's only 18 dollars worth of fabric. why all the anxiety?
hey, i know i can sew. i made this bag.... the stitching is neat and tidy. it is a very smart little bag. i was reminded of it after i saw the one that alicia had made for herself (of course hers is patchwork and is soooo pretty)(i love alicia).
i haven't made a dress in about 12 years. i now have a beautiful new machine, which i am sure will make this easy as pie. i am hoping to start it tomorrow, unless it is a warm sunny day out because then it would be a shame to not be out in the yard. i have lots of new plants to get into the garden. russian sage, lavender, bee balm, hydrangea and a lilac. lots of blues and whites is what i'm going for. soft pinks would look nice against the house too...
get the dress done.
i know.

think and pink






well, i shall share my little project too. i don't know what kind of fabric this is. it feels nice and it is a good weight and the lady at the fabric store agreed with me that this was going to do the job. see that little bit of plaid down there in the corner shot...>>>>>

we're thinking it might make a pretty sash, something we can add later. just for fun.

i know i need to start this yesterday. i know, i know. i am a procrastinator. i thrive under pressure. emma is not like me. she wants her dress now.


so, i was tagged was i?

six word life motto.......

hmmmm


respect, empathize, live and love unconditionally.


that's just off the top of my head. had i the time to REALLY put some thought into it....well...it could be better. thanks blogger buddy elizabeth. now to think of who to pass along this challenge....
