In the Works

Currently in the works:

Unique princess seam jacket in a lovely polyester/rayon pinstripe. Jacket is cut out and ready to baste.

Pants to match the above jacket. Need to make some adjustments to the pattern to get rid of the last of the back-thigh bagginess.

Butterick/Unique B4609 shirt in lavender silk noil. Needs hem, buttons & buttonholes.

And this cute apron from the Paisley Pincushion:
I traced the pattern last night. I did the petite chest tuck and increased the dart. I know it's just an apron, but I want it to fit well enough that I don't have to be tugging the straps up all the time.

I think this is apron is just the cutest thing. I can put my Flylady timer in the top pocket where it's less likely to get bumped. No bothersome ties. I can throw it on after I get dressed in the morning so I won't mess up my work clothes while I eat breakfast. And I can make it out of some fun cotton prints that I would never otherwise wear.

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.
