Maternity T-shirt

What I thought would be the last item in my next batch of projects turned out to be the first. I made my daughter a maternity t-shirt using some of the lavender cotton knit. It's fairly heavy and stable so it worked for the pattern I had, which was for woven fabric. Very few maternity patterns to choose from in the Big-3 pattern companies. All the shirt needs now is the hem. The self-fabric neckband turned out awesome, thanks to that Threads video. I did whip this one out--measured, fitted, altered, cut and sewn (except for the hem) in 3 hours. Feels good to get a project that far in one evening.

I'm going to keep my eyes out for some cotton-spandex blend for some t-shirts for me. I told dd that if she buys the fabric I'll make her more shirts.

Blogspot has just launched Blogger Images to make it easy to include images in our posts. I shall test this by uploading an image of my niece: It works! Wahoo! In the olden times (last week) we Blogspotters had to use Hello from Picasa, which is a free picture instant-messaging software that worked well for me at home, but I couldn't get it running at work (maybe it was God telling me to get off the blog and do my job). Goodbye Hello , and hello Blogger Images . Thanks, Blogger !

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
