Fit Fit Fit

Shapely shirt turned out sort of wearable. The cotton/lycra blend is too stiff and thick so it's a bit buggy to wear (as in, "it bugs me"--this was my little sister's mantra from the time she was about 5 years old. She had some cute clothes she wouldn't wear because they bugged her. She is still unbelieveably picky about how she feels in the clothes she wears. I understand. I'm the same way.) Also, because it has no drape darts are way too pointy.

And there's some stand-up collar/shoulder thing happening here, too. If the fabric weren't so stiff it'd be falling down my back and REALLY bugging me.

I sewed enough of the click 'n sew blouse together to know that it's (another) wadder. In order to get this fit thing straightened out once and for all, I'm starting from square one. I've got a fitting shell pattern and Fit for Real People and I'm going to follow all of the steps to make a fitting shell.

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.
