This is about the cutest, non human, thing I've seen around here.

I guess this is what happens when you're the only sister. You improvise, I think it's cute.


And then of course there is this little bit of sweetness

Happiness

In Honor of Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing and her self proclaimed honesty month I thought I would follow her latest post listing when I am at my happiest.

There are a lot of things to put here:

I am at my happiest working on a sewing project unhindered.

But, I am also at my happiest when I have put the sewing project aside and given in to cries for Mommy play with me and I do actually play.

I'm at my happiest when I know I'm going to see a fabulously feminine play about BIRTH with my equally fabulous (and highly recommended) midwife and friend Salli.

I am at my happiest when Dave doesn't have to work and can spend time with the family.

Today I get to do all these things:o) That makes me happy!

I have new projects to post about.

I finished a shirt to go under my suit for the banquet I am M.C. for this week. I'm going to wait until Friday to post pictures of the shirt so you can see the complete outfit with hair done and everything instead of a poorly snapped quick shot.

I got the fabric for a 1900's riding Habit for my daughter yesterday and hope to begin construction today. The riding habit will have to be done by the 11th. I may wait to post pics on that as well.

I should be all complete with the colonial costume early next week as it is due in to the fair by the 7th.

I also hope to begin a bolero to go with a crazy corset dress I got and want to wear to the fair.

Until then!
