I've been busy..

My sewing machine wants me to go on vacation already, and bring it back and tune-up.
I want to go on vacation already and sit on the front porch of my house in Deco Dirt City and drink a Margarita and smell the Lavender in my front yard and talk to Chicano Greaser's Girlfriend and watch the world go by.
Soon... Very soon...

In the mean time, I found the most fabulous thing on Craigslist and it was still available and the girls was amazing and now it's mine. And the duct tape version is in the trash..

Now to build a backdrop fitting of my new acquisition.

Behold... What my little fingers has wrought...



Leopard silky goodness in wiggle dress form. Mmm.. Wiggle dress...
Not for me.. For sale..

One medium to large sized tropical halter dress. From a 1940s pattern in a linen print. I can't help it... Every time I see this material, I think about Maria Von Trapp and the kids outfits that she made from the curtains in her room. Maybe I'll call it "the Von Trapp Family Special"... Or Something.. Ooh, I could do a whole Sound of Music collection. I'll make the first dress the Baroness... And I'll need some really dowdy thing for Maria's dress.. Remember how even the poor didn't want that one? Okay, I digress.


I made this for me. However it wouldn't fit a small 9th grader. I had to close the dress form all the way down and get a running start to get this one closed. It's a petal busted dress... see...
Petals Down:


I know... Needs boobs...


Petals up... Again.. Needs boobs...

On a non-sewing related note. It's been one year since I made that fateful drama filled drive to come see Best Boy.... Here he is with Big Furry Dog...

Aren't they cute?

And here's his toy... I wish he hadn't bobbed the back fender. Now I can't ride with him any more.

More when I get back from Deco Dirt City....
