Thanksgiving was great. It had its ups and downs and you know who you are. It was great for me and my sister to be together but its now its back to business. I really wanted to make everyones gift this x-mas, but doesn't look like it going to happen. Lots of fabrics and patterns but not enought time. I'll see what I can get done.

I never did post the halloween pictures of the Darkknight and the Joker costumes I made for the grands. Can't seem to get my daughter to download pictures from the camera of their costumes. But here is a picture from her cell phone and my close up of batman's costume. So what do you think?

I know they don't look like the happiest kids in the world but it was after 8:00 in the evening and they were tired. Poor babies.

BMV Club

I did a really bad thing today. I purchased more patterns. I had promised myself I would not purchase another pattern until the new year. But BMV Club (Butterick, McCall, Vogue) had patterns for ($3.29). Patterns here in NYC of all places are hard to locate the only place I know that you can purchase is on Canal Street. Who has time to travel there with all this sewing to be done. So I placed my order. Okay no more pattern purchases for me until at least the spring that's a promise. Here's a peak at what I purchased. Yeah I know a little obsessive.

Red Dress

I loved Michelle Obama's red dress when visiting the Bush's. There is a dress similar to this with Vogue patterns which I purchased a while back. I think I will be making this one real soon.

Such a better choice than that other red dress at the victory speech. (The left picture is what the dress was suppose to have looked like). And I still did not like it.

TOPS

I need tops! I decided to get rid of most of my winter tops. So now I have none and must replenish my supply. This top was quick and easy Burda 7867. Just took a couple of hours from start to finish. I purchased more of this similar knit fabric so you will be seeing this top again in different colors and patterns. Two yards at $2.00 a yard can't go wrong. Yeah I'm working on my taking of pictures.

Paris' blanket

I got to get use to this blogging thing. Its been a while. I have a lot to download regarding pictures but bare with me. Here is a picture of the blanket I made for grandma's baby for school. He needs it for nap time. I used scraps of fabric I had lying around and a flannel night gown that my mom gave me that I never wore. Not a flannel type of girl. I will try to be more consistent with my blogging. P.S. finished the pants but don't like my pictures. So until I get a good pictured

Family

Family came to visit from out of town this week. Having family here is fun but just never enough time. You dont' realize how much you miss family until they come and visit and then leave. Making this short as I have to get back to family. Miss you Bev :)

P.S. Worked on this pants pattern last weekend made muslim. Came out great I think I'll be wearing the muslim but will make another pair pants in black. Hopefully soon I will be able to post the results. But stay tuned ....

First Day Blog

Why are people so nasty? Riding the bus this morning, rang bell to get off, bus driver goes past my stop, I tell him I"m getting off, his reply, very nasty "I know Miss." If you know why are you going past it. Jerk Jerk Jerk. If your not happy with your job, then change it.
