The set that was not meant to be


Ok....So I am guesting with Boutique Bijou next week and had some free time since I finished my patterns earlier than expected. I figured I would whip up another set for their launch...something I have been wanting to make for a while now. No problem....right???



WRONG!


First, I finish the top only to find a tear in the eyelet! GRRR!!! Ok...fix that problem. Off to roll the hems (BTW, I just figured out how to do this! This was only my second time!) That goes ok. Not really pleased with the results though......maybe you shouldn't roll eyelet??? hmmmm..... OK, so back to putting the serger to it's original settings and POP! A piece of it falls of and breaks in half! OH NO!! Guess this set was not meant to be, LOL!!


Oh yeah......and when I went to take a picture for all of you my camera has decided to turn off the flash and I can't get it back on!! I really need a new one!! This one is definately on it's last mile!

Light at the end of the tunnel!

I've been working so hard on these crochet sweater patterns for Leisure Arts. But I am happy to announce that I am almost finished!! The deadline is the first of June and I am down to only having a few more to test. YAY!! They are not as good and as detailed as I had hoped, but I was told that they have some awesome editors that can fix them up. I am just thrilled to think that in about a year you will be able to walk into any craft store and buy a book of my patterns with my name on it!!

Did you have a nice Mother's Day??

I didn't. Oh well.....I've moved on and today should be AWESOME! LOL!!

Today Heather has dance class this morning and then we have a little running around to do. This afternoon is a Birthday party for her friend Jacob this afternoon. Then this evening I'll have some Mommy time at MOPS.
What's on your agenda for today?

I was tagged!!

Oh boy!!! I got tagged by my friend Teri.

This game of tag says we have to:
FIRST: List seven random facts/habits about yourself

LOL!! Ok...this should be good....let me think...

1. I married my high school sweetheart at age 20. We were married 5 years before we got divorced.

2. My wonderful (second) husband was an usher in my first wedding..........

3. I am definately a daddy's girl. Unfortunately my dad passed away 10 years ago....today.

4. I competed in Miss Majorette of Pennsylvania and the Beaver County Regatta Queen pageants.

5. I have one grandparent that is still alive, my father's mother, and I don't even know her name. I believe she lives in Florida.

6. My quirk for dealing with bad/frustrating situations is to vent and complain for a while, then suck it up and move on, LOL!!

7. I am happy to announce that I have lost 20 lbs in the past 6 months!! (and 5" in my waist!!!)

SECOND, I have to choose another SEVEN bloggers to tag and list their names in your blog (Do I even know 7 other bloggers???) If you have already been picked, just let me know and I will change my list!

1. Wendy
2. Ginger
3. Nina
4. Debra
5. Kim
6. Dee
7. Lorri


THIRD: Leave your seven tagged bloggers comments to notfiy them of their tagging and to direct them to your blog for tag instructions.


WHEW!!!

Metamorphosis!!

Remember this dress??? dress5.jpg

Well, the buyer asked if I could make some
modifications to it. She asked to make the dress into a baby-doll top and create
a pair of ruffled shorts to go with it. I really like how it turned out!!

Earlier this year I created this pattern (click on it to find out where to buy it!)
