Another Creation ( I didn't realise that both my posts are the same color)







This is one I've been working on since last month. I bought a Vogue pattern, I've heard they are difficult but I wanted to try it out. I bought fabric, and wah- la! It was hard work, a lot of cutting, stitching, unstitching, recutting and then adding the finishing touches. What do you think? Dan was

nice enough to take pictures of us and he even critiqued by dress so that I could make it look right, hence the unstitching... I was glad that he was willing to do that, because it made the dress a whole lot better.

I have a few goals while Dan is gone:

  • I want to learn how to sew exceptionally well
  • I want to find a new job, maybe even upgrade (work at becoming an LPN; still unsure about it)
  • I want to get to know knew people, and make friends in my new ward
  • I want to learn to knit sweaters. (I think that hobbie rocks)
I don't really know what I'll be doing until I get into the swing of things. I just hope to stay busy enough that the year goes quickly. I've been spending time with Dan's cousin and his wife. Carmen and I want to do sewing projects once a week. Last week we made totes, reversable, and tons of fun. Mine has a spot for my personalized cell phone and for my keys so I don't have to search my bag for them. That was a lot of fun to make.
