Guess who was so disappointed when she found out how hard it would be to adjust the her flea market patterns. ME! I'm so sad!
It will be a major reconstruction to the pattern I brought to Sac with me, that I had to leave it with my sister. She knows really how to do it as opposed to me that read something on internet.
I guess it's the gym for me. Here I thought I would be sewing up a storm this summer, having all these cute pieces (that fit) to wear. Oh well, it really suck to get old.
ps: are you surprise that i posted twice in a day. I guess I'm a bit jetlag and I'm sitting a WG's laptop and posting away while he sleep.

Back from vacation
Just got back from vacation--yellowstone, grand teton and arches. 3 national parks in a 8 days in 2 states. Yes we are gluttons for punishment. Driving, driving and more driving. We're exhausted. Hope to upload the pictures sometime soon but remember it almost took a year to the great wild west pics.
Will be having a busy few months starting in Aug. 3 sets of visitors in 3 months. At least my house will be clean during that time.

Baby hats x 2
I went crazy with the baby hats for a shower this past Thursday. I wanted to make something not typical pastel-ly baby, with a fun icord knot on the top. So I decided to go to the yarn store (instead of the craft store) and get some yarn in great colors.
The person I was making it for looks so good in color that thought of course her baby would too. Here's the 2 hats in some fabulous colors.
Bunny hat
Knitted in Berroco Comfort, pattern from Peargirl Knits
stripey hat
Knitted in Berroco Comfort, I kind of made up the pattern

a year late can't be too bad
I know, I know. I should have done this at least 10 months ago but I didn't. And now that I have the time, I've decided to post the rest of my Wild, Wild West pictures.
So I posted images from Sacramento and Zion National Park. Here's the rest of the trip. I hate to admit that I still have to develop some pictures from a disposable camera. Our camera broke on the 1st day at Grand Canyon. So I can't say it's all the pictures but most of them.
Tahoe
The mountains still had snow, it was definitely colder than Sacramento.
An island in Lake Tahoe. The color of the water was beautiful
Driving out of Tahoe to go over one of the pass to Nevada
Death Valley

Scotty's Castle at Death Valley NP

Vegas
hours for driving to vegas and a picture of my round face
instead of gambling, we went to the Hoover Dam
Route 66

That's all folks!

my fashion flea market finds
WG and I have been going to the flea market pretty often recently. I got some fun vintage stuff for me. I also got a adjustable dress form to help me fix all the vintage goodies.
In the process of uploading my last years vacation pics. Maybe by time I get to CA next month I'll have them posted.
gray striped permanently pleated apron that I'm turning into a skirt.
flower print permanently pleated apron that I'm turing into a skirt.
one of 7 vintage patterns that I got for 3 dollars. I hope my sister can help me adjust them to fit me.
I was looking for a shirtdress and now I have a pattern.
I love the look of this pattern. May need to drop a few lbs to wear it.
I think this will be my first attempt to start sewing again. I'm bringing this to my sister's, so she can help me alter the pattern to fit. I'm hoping I have enough yardage to make this dress with something from my material stash.
Hope I feel ambitious to make a coat this fall.
Picked up this pattern to inspire me to make up some bags to sell.

Guess where I am
Hi all. I bet you can't find me.
Of course, you can't. I'm all the way in the back, behind some tall "April". They were only concerned that Martha looked good. And she does. Check out the glow-y light that they used.
