Ok, I won't say this is throw back...well I guess it depends, but it is a CLASSIC if nothing else! Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooooooh LOL Have you guys had a good week? I sure have. Thanks for all the feedback about the video blog entry! I will do another one next week!.
Ya'll, my baby, well my oldest, Jaelyn had went to her FIRST dance last night. She was SO excited.....
My child is growing up *sigh*, it is SO bitter sweet! Look at that brace free smile lol
Ok, before I cry lol. In other news I got my FIRST copy EVER of Burda World of Fashion. The September issue is on its way too! LOL
I am finally going to try it. Tany and Cidell are like the BWOF Diva's. I am sure there are more, but these are the two that I look to lol. What will my first project be?
The Over Blouse check out the techinical drawing...
Can't wait. I'm going to go get my fabric on Monday. Wish me luck! There is a Burda Yahoo Group too, join up! I did. I will NO DOUBT have some questions! LOL
While I was without a machine, I couldn't sew, BUT I could buy fabric (my no buy fabric until I did five outfits went OUT THE WINDOW LOL) and that is just what I did lol
I got some really nice shirting....
and this one...
and my FAVORITE....
Some Charmeuse in butterscotch. It is SO soft and oh so lovely. I can't wait to work with it!
In knitting news I am making good progress on my LEFTOVERS VEST BY KNITTY. I Hope to finish it next week so I can cast on for either Treejacket or Cobble stone. I only knit at night....soooo..I MIGHT work on both of them at the same time...but we will see!
Ok guys that is IT for me, have a great weekend!
Toodles!

Jaelyn looked so cute for her first dance. You are seriously making me want some of that shirting.
Posted by: erica b. | October 05, 2007 at 02:22 AM
You got your first BWOF!!! And you've picked a great pattern to start with! I love that blouse! It's on my wish list too but I still haven't found the right fabric for it!
Have a great and inspired weekend, my friend!!! And thanks for the shout out ;)

Jaelyn is looking so grown up. She has a beautiful smile. Hope she had a great time at the dance.
Kudos to you for trying BWOF! I am not up for that just yet. I love the pattern you picked out though. Can't wait to see it on you.
Love the fabric you bought. The butterscotch charmeuse is gorgeous. Did you get it all at Hancock's?
Have a wonderful weekend!

I thought of you yesterday when I listened to Da Butt by EU (I feel like I'm the only person who remembers that song, though) AND the Kid 'N' Play Kick Step on my way to work. I love your weekly videos!
Your daughter looks so pretty all dolled up for her dance! I remember going to my first dance. I was so nervous and excited.
Posted by: Marlena | October 05, 2007 at 07:41 AM
How sweet it is for Jaelyn! I know this is a milestone for you. I am sure you will scrapbook the moment!
I can't wait to see your projects you make. The over shirt is really cute!
Posted by: Cassandra | October 05, 2007 at 08:01 AM
That Over Blouse is going to be awesome!
Posted by: Jeanine | October 05, 2007 at 08:15 AM
Guuurrrllll pullleeeaaze, you put on Mr. Williams??!!! LOL.
"But I want all of you girl, if it's in Gods will, cause I loooooove you". Imma just say it cause I'm done having kids and I'm speaking to the grown folks- that right there is BABY MAKIN music!! LOL :) HA!
Posted by: Christina | October 05, 2007 at 08:19 AM
how old is jaelyn? first dance... hmmm i am not looking forward to that!
i like those pants! did they have a pattern for them too?
i couldn't stand Lenny Williams. he was like the Keith Sweat of the 70s or something.
have a great weekend

The fabric looks gorgeous and I can't wait to see the over blouse. It is so amazing to see them grow up - when they are babies we say...I can't wait until you can talk and walk......and than once they do...we start to miss those days.
I know I do.

For some reason this song always makes me smile(maybe it is because of the commentary I briefly heard on the Steve Harvey radio show)It's definitely a classic! Your daughter is beautiful...I remember my first dance..fun times...youre gonna be fighting off the boys soon...:)That magazine looks fun, and that top is adorable!
Posted by: Soul Living | October 05, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Ooooh that charmeuse... YUMMY!
I almost bought the Burda issue this month because of that overblouse... I was good and put the magazine back on the rack... (I have so many projects lined up already, you know?) but you're making me reconsider. That design is truly special!
Adrienne, enjoy your weekend!! :)
Posted by: Isabelle | October 05, 2007 at 11:01 AM
That is such a cute jacket!
I hope baby girl had a great time!
Posted by: Christie | October 05, 2007 at 11:30 AM
I've made a memo in my Outlook to check out your blog every Friday -- always good to brighten my mood ... or make me laugh hysterically. The shirting looks beautiful -- have fun with it!
Posted by: Latharia | October 05, 2007 at 11:40 AM
Awwwww, her first dance! I'm not quite there yet & am in no hurry!
That last fabric is gorgeous. What's that going to be?
Posted by: del | October 05, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Nooooooo you didn't!!! - Lenny is one of my daughter's favorite artist (she is a soul child. I must hear that song at least once every morning and also she plays an Al Green song...LOL - and on top of that she plays one of Madea's movies in which one of the characters sing a few bars from Lenny's song... ROFLOL. Oh yes its totally bitter sweet - your daughter's first dance.
Posted by: Sheila | October 05, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Jaelyn's smile looks great - the braces were very effective!!
Can't wait to get my first BWOF! I bought some tracing paper the other day at the art supply store in preparation for it!
Posted by: robin | October 05, 2007 at 01:24 PM
those little kids grow up so fast! the Charmeuse fabric is gorgeous - i love the color.
Posted by: beth | October 05, 2007 at 01:42 PM
Your daughter is so pretty! I hope she had a good time. I've heard so much about the BWOF. I need to order them. I really love that over blouse. And I must say--even your fabric pictures are fabulous! Have a great weekend!
Posted by: Diann | October 05, 2007 at 04:39 PM
Your fabric is beautiful! Where did you buy it? I just can't seem to find anything at Hancock's that I like.
Posted by: Faye | October 05, 2007 at 04:46 PM
I love throwback Friday's!!
Your daughter is just beautiful, such a lovely smile. They do grow up FAST. The butterscotch fabric is going to look great on you can't wait to see what you're going to make from it.
Posted by: Larjmarj | October 05, 2007 at 05:01 PM

Ooh I liked that song! I played it for OH over the phone LOL Look at your Jaelyn, looking all growed up! Just you wait - before you know it she'll be 17 like mine (I can't quite believe it).
Posted by: Jen | October 07, 2007 at 04:55 AM
That pattern is fantastic. I want to make it up too, but I'm on a fabric diet until I go to NYC next month. You're going to love BWOF.
