Stuff and another pattern review lol
So I'm finally getting around to my weekend wrap up...well kinda lol. We went over my Uncle's house for the 4th (Food was eeeeeeeeeerrryyyyyyyyyy where) and so were people lol. I love my family...we sure do have some nuts lol.
I love this picture of me and my bro lol. We took one that was a regular ole pose but I love this one MUCH better lol:
Yep...gotta love him! LOL
That night after seeing some fireworks, I went out with my girls...
We had a blast!! I love hanging out with them...so much fun. We went to this really nice lounge and had our selves a good ole time. 
My one silly pose lol. Gotta love an apple martini lol.
Moving right along....let me show you something:
Yes new yarn for a new fall project...more details on this later...
One more....
OLD yarn for a new and hopefully quick summer project...I have to say thanks to Robin. She really is the sweetest! I had halfway figured out how to adjust the pattern for the yarn I wanted to use but she really helped me bring it on home lol. She is so helpful and doesn't MIND helping you. I just really appreciate it. I've told her already but still....she needs a little praise lol. So thanks again Robin!!!
Now I forgot to mention to you guys that I got rid of my Dash... You know the phone I loved...well it started acting up and I just don't have the time for that lol, so I got a shadow....
Welllllllll I HATED it...why?? Because it does NOT have a full QWERTY keyboard. OMG...I hated all that tap tap tap when texting . OMG. HATED IT...so I bought a new one and it came yesterday woo hoo....
SO far I LOVE It...now some of the functions are umm different lol. I was on the phone last night and ummm did NOT know how to take her off hold lol. I just called her back lol. *note to self, look that up lol* It does WAY more than my dash or my shadow did...I'll keep you posted lol.
Oh, I also may have forgotten to mention that I now have five kittens and one Momma cat..Asia lol:
This one is my favorite:
SOMEONE *ahem* wanted to know how cats got pregnant...well umm lol. THAT was fffffffffuuuuuuunnnnnnny lol. Almost all of them have a home...but if you want one lol..let me know. They are two weeks old, so not ready to leave yet but in four more weeks they will be!
And finally the pattern review:
Butterick 5029 PART 2 lol
Love my shoes lol. Hubby got me those last year and I think I've only worn them three or four times lol but they are seriously one of my favorite pair.
| Fabric: | Silk Jersey [See other projects in this fabric] | |
| Pattern Description: Misses Dresses Pattern Sizing: 8-14 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, VERY easy. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the ruching on this pattern....it really hides my tummy  Fabric Used: Silk Jersey Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: None Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would NOT sew this one again lol. I made this dress last year and think I left it out of town...last time I remember having it...two is enough but it's a GREAT summer dress! | ||
That's it for me, I still have a few more summer pieces to show you guys and that will be it for my summer wear. I am working on picking out my fall pieces. I'm going try and do it the way I did my mini wardrobe. That was SO much fun.
Ok, have a great days guys!!
Toodles!
I remember those shoes!!!!1 Cute, cute, cute!!! Perfect with that dress!!! Looks like u guys had a fun time during the holiday!!!!

Yeah, have to agree, this is a cute little dress. But..... your little kittens are cute, too. I'm so pining for one again, since I had to give up my one last year and it doesn't make it any easier finding pix of cats and kittens on every blog I visit - and now here too....drats!
Posted by: KayB | July 08, 2008 at 06:02 AM

I have a palm phone and I'm ready to update, I need something I can continue to txt on like a maniac :)
Posted by: Christina | July 08, 2008 at 05:03 PM
I love the photo of you and your brother. I can imagine my two taking a picture like that when they get grown. Also one of these days I'm gonna buy a sewing machine and start sewing, I tried kniting but can't seem to get the hang of it.
Posted by: Christine | July 08, 2008 at 05:34 PM
hey girl, the pics look great! Is that makeup I see! :) I love the pic of you and your brother. My brother and I rarely have pics together but all that has started changing since his accident.
What was wrong with your Dash? Remember I asked you if you were having problems with it a while back cause I've had nothing but problems. It goes dead for NO reason, fully charged. Funny cause I've been eyeing that Curve for a min. to upgrade. lol
I'm starting to get my sewing itch again but everytime I go sit at my table my mind gets full of cosmetics. LMAO
Posted by: Trina | July 08, 2008 at 06:01 PM

Sizzling hot dress! I LOVE it. LOVE the hair cut too, I don't think I said it before! It is SO chic.
and KITTIES!! I'm such a sucker for baby kitties. It's a good thing I'm too far away to have one!
Posted by: angie.a | July 08, 2008 at 08:36 PM
Thanks for the nice mention!! Awww....
And I love those top two pictures - you and your brother, and you and your girls. Gorgeous!!
I was JUST going to ask about Asia as I hadn't heard about her in a while. Um, now we know what she's been up to, LOL!!
Posted by: Robin | July 09, 2008 at 08:48 AM
