Gaining Momentum

Since it had been so long since I've done any sewing, I wanted to do a quick pick-me-up project before I dove head first into the dress. In our living room we have a chair and 2 couches, all dark brown, 2 bookcases and an entertainment center, all dark wood. The walls are light, but everything else is pretty much the same color. It's just very uninteresting to me. So, I tried to add some color and made some bright pillow covers. A nice start, I think.



Now, onto the dress!

Rosemary - 20 Weeks Old

19 Weeks 6 Days

This is exactly the age that Samuel was when Andy came home from his deployment and met Samuel for the first time. Andy wanted a picture of him and Rosemary at this age, too.

 

Sewing Challenge

For Annabelle's 3rd birthday and for a wedding in late June, I'm making her a dress. It is significantly harder than anything I've ever tried. Darts, lining, collar, you name it, this dress has it! I found this dress pattern and fell in love with it and figured I mind as well tackle all my fears at once and get out of this sewing funk I've found myself in. If I can pull this off, I will be one happy woman.
