speaking of NBC, on our list of do do's while we're here is taking the boy to see NBC in 3D
in DTD. He saw it last year so it's really just an excuse for us to go.
It's almost 4 am and we just got back from DH's gig in St.Pete. Jeesh. Of course we had to go to Wally world after the gig, so I don't have to go tomorrow, I know my way around tampa/St.Pete so much better than O-town
OK, you'll never believe this. I was sitting here, sewing away , when I finished attaching the top tier of my soon to be patchwork tiered twirl dress when I reach into my sewing "stuff" and discover.....the 3rd tier didn't make it into the stash OMG, I about cried. well, the originally designed patchwork tiered twirl "skirt" turned into a dress b/c it was a little longer and it's hot here and we're going to wear it to Seaworld and just thought it would be cute as a dress, so frankly the 2 tiers w/ ruffle are plenty long enough to be a skirt. I'm going to tear down the 2 layer ruffle that was for the bottom of the 3rd tier and make it so it fits the 2nd and is only the 1 polkadot layer. My idea is to use the remaining ruffle to add to the bottom of her shirt (black with a glittery orange pumpkin-from Tar-get) We'll see how that goes.
GRRR
So initially I was totally bummed BUT I know that noone else will know (except all of you and everyone I complained to that I never get my way)that the skirt wasn't what I had planned to create and as we've said here many times our kids would be cute in potatoe sacks so I'll get over it. Though it does suck when you have a vision and a plan and you don't get to see it through to fruition. I guess I'm still getting over it
anyway I couldn't finish it earlier b/c I didn't have elastic, I'd only brought what I knew I needed to finish the dress (including scrap fabric but NOT the third tier) so I had to wait till my WM trip to pick up some. I will sew as soon as I am able to wake up today (it's 4:15 now) and try to get some pics up. Hopefully you guys will be around, looks like today was slow.
ALI if you read this before you leave I will be on the lookout for your cuties!
Goodnight goodnight, parting is such sweet sorrow that I should say good night till it be morrow.
