Finally! Dress is Finished

September 17, 2015

I feel that I spent entirely too much time on this dress. It sat for a few days because I couldn’t comfortably sit at my sewing table. Also, I had to tweak it. I’m too big in some places and too small in others. At least now I know what to do next time. And the best part. There are no buttons or buttonholes, no zipper, no hand sewing. So it’s on to my raincoat. Well. No. I have to make my little wall hanging for October. Then it’s on to my raincoat.

I went to get my stitches out this morning, but doctor said no. Now I have to wait until Monday. He also wanted blood work and chest x-rays. While out, I stopped at the Amish market and loaded up. Sweetums’ eyes glazed over when he saw the bags. He is such a Sweetums.

Still in Reisterstown

March 25, 2011

I was going to leave this morning, but my son wanted me to go shopping with him. So I went to the Amish market. I bought a stuffed pork chop for supper. They are really big, so one if enough for two people. I picked up some creamed spinach to go with it. I also got ham spread, macaroni salad, cheese and cheese bread for Sweetums.

Since it’s so cold out, I went on down to Jo Ann’s and bought a Lucy Neatby DVD. I got ribbon feet from Viking. They look like fun. Darn. Now I am thinking about sewing and wishing I had brought a machine with me. I had just cut out a bunch of squares for a little quilt before I left home and I really want to get back to it.

I do have my knitting. I forgot to bring extra needles for the hat. I am working on the decreases and finally had to stop. So I am working on the mitered sweater. Miters are fun to do and I’m about 3/4 finished on the body. The pattern that I’m ‘kinda’ using has the sleeves worked separately, but I think I will work them from the shoulders down. That will eliminate the seams.

Still reading? Well, I’m surprised. I know this has been a pretty boring post so I’ll add some random pictures for you.

Spoiled cat.
