Happy Sunday....

****ETA....I need some help with my IPOD. I took my ITUNES icon and dragged it to my external hard drive. Now, when I plug in my IPOD, ITUNES opens and NOTHING is there....when I go to my external hard drive...MY MUSIC IS NOT THERE, BUT When I go into the advance tab in itunes to SEE my music, it IS On my external hard drive, can SOMEONE...ANYONE tell me how to make my computer recognize my library IN MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE?? I had too much music on it and it was making my PC slow. Anyone? IF you don't want to post here, just email me. THANKS!****

Well, well,well..Have I EVER updated on a Sunday? I feel a headache coming on so I know if I don't update now, I WON'T lol, there will be no going to bed late today OR getting up early tomorrow lol, so here goes....

Friday night I COMPLETELY finished my white dress. I seriously LOVE the process of sewing...love it.
LOVE the look of serged edges. I WILL get my own serger before the week is out. I'm tired of using my moms....lol

and here is the dress finished, well almost. I don't have my button hole foot so I have to wait until I get it from my  moms house....NOT today! LOL, but other than waiting on warm weather and button holes...its ready to wear lol

I love the way it came out and seriously can not WAIT to wear it. EYELET IS IT! LOL
Friday night I came downstairs and found AJ like this...I LOVE to see him on the computer....

He gets SO into it. He love American Dragon lol

Look at his little face.....too cute lol

and his little hands lol

and I LOVE how he crosses his little feet lol

Ashy little legs lol

Then while I was at my mom's house, with all the talk of knitting ....she went out and bought some needles and yarn lol...oh I inspired my momma! How sweet! LOL

She is going to KILL Me for this pic, lol, real life, live &.unscripted...tee hee....

Then, after I finished my white dress...I made some Shrimp Fried Rice....YUM....

I think there may be about a BOWL left so ummm, lol, yeah, gonna finish that off...

Saturday, I got up bright and early, wait, my KIDS got me up bright and early lol...pulled out my pattern...

And finished it up....

I ADORE this top. LOVE the twist in it. It confused me at first, lol, then after I took my eyes off of the pattern for a minute, and went back, it made total sense. I am def going to make the dress version of the top. Too cute not too. And my pants...gosh...the jersey feels so good against my skin. If it is as nice out tomorrow as it is today, I REALLY want to wear it to work tomorrow...lol, but we will see..lol

Well when I finished my outfit, I left to go and teach my class for Cheryl  and we had a GREAT time! It was fun! Can't wait to do it again. NEXT time I will stay ALL day! LOL

Saturday night, came home and I could tell that the kids were REALLY ready for summer....

Yes, they put on swimsuits...too funny lol

And a little update on my red scarf....

It's coming along nicely...my shrug....not so much. The pattern is killing me. and it SAID easy, so if i wake up later I MAY work on it, if not, I will start fresh tomorrow. UGH.

Today Jaelyn had a couple of buttons come off of her dress jacket at church.....so what did she do? Ask me to sew them back on? NOPE...

She did it herself...yep...proud mommy...

And an up close version....yep...proud...and so is my mom...

Well guys that is it. No scrapping, but I did teach a class and go to the SB store...even if it was for a meeting lol...take care..I'm off to bed....

Hey Adrienne!
I'm on a "Knit Kick" too! I guess the cold weather makes us hibernate and sewing projects are a great way to pass the time. Can't wait to see the shrug. I'm in the process of making a "shretter" :) it's a shrug and sweater combo. Shoot,it'll be dawggone near summer by the time I finish this!!! ;0 ITMT, knit on...

[DisneyCyndi]

Love all of the sewing projects. I hope that meeting was for a special event that is coming up in March (lol).

[sappmama]

I know you all are in the south 'cause Mama's got a pot on the stove! :)

It looks like she's doing an excellent job with the knitting.

Your kids are too cute. They're sending Mother Nature a message.

If you need help with the shrug, e-mail me. I'm the shrug queen.

[Kristi Sauer]

That shirt is too cute!! You and Toya have me wanting to start sewing with all these cute clothes!

[cherylwray]

I LOVE your dress, and I LOVE your shirt!!! They are both SO SO cute!!! I'm jealous . . .
Okay, I want the recipe for the shrimp fried rice. It looks yummy!!
Love the pic of the kids in their bathing suits. Sydney does that all the time!!! (I am ready for Spring!!)

[Melanie S. Smith]

Hey!

I really enjoyed this post... That fried rice looks delicious... too bad that I am allergic to shell fish (DANG)! I love that white dress! It will be tooo cute in the summer with some nice wedges... that shirt is adorable also, I can't wait to see the dress version of it.. The kids are toooo cute!!! I am sooo ready for summer also!!! I did not get to scrap this weekend, but I did get to shop for stuff. Did you know that Big Lots had some wonderful very affordable NAMEBRAND scrapbooking items???? I didn't but I do now and it's ova!!!! Hopefully, I will get to create this weekend!!! Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!

[Tasha]

Gosh I really love the dress and the top is too cute. But, curious, what are you going to wear under the eyelet dress? I feel teh kids on summer. I'm excited for spring.

[Christine]

Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend. I love that shirt that you made. You are a busy girl. As far as iTunes goes, if I am understanding you right, I think the problem is that you need to move all your music files over to the hard drive. I don't think that just moving the iTunes program over to the external will work. These things are so hard to figure out when you're not right there so I may be telling you wrong.
Have a great day!

[melissa]

wow your dress and shirt look so pretty!-I've taken up knitting recently but too nervous to start making clothes. lol ;)

shrimp is my fav!-so that rice dish you made is making me very hungrey

love the pic of your kids, I think they are trying to influence the weather. hehe

[Kimberly White]

What a great shirt! You and Toya sure are inspiring me these days! Have a great week! Kim

[Solidia]

Adrienne, looks like you are having a lot of fun! Keep it up. You are really inspiring me!! Thanks!!!!!

[Cassandra]

Wow! I love the top! The dress is too cute! Now I wanna sew!

As for the knitting you are doing a marvelous job! I love the red scarf! It's my favorite color!

Make sure you take a picture of your new serger for me! I have a Pfaff but I really wanted a Baby Lock. Maybe in the next life!

I hope your migraine is a lot better!

OK, so the IT guy here at work was in my office HOOKING me up, can I tell you, and answering a ton of questions for me about personal stuff, like typepad, typekey, other good informational stuff and I thought of you and your question. He said you have to go into iTunes, go to edit, go to preferences, go to advanced and set the location (that first big box) to the location of where your music is on your external. He says this should work. We even went to a co-workers computers and he walked me through it so that I would be able to tell you right. Let me know if this works. He's really a computer genius.

[stephanie]

e-mail me if you need some help on the pattern. take your time and read the pattern out loud a few times till you get it. i also write it out on a peice of scratch paper, it will come to you :)!

[Lu]

you would be happy to know I pulled my needles out and I am knitting. scary, but true!!!!

[Lynn Williams]

[Robin]

Great blog! I love all the pics! What to say first...The eyelet dress is amazing - can't wait to see what it looks like on! I like that Butterick pattern too. AJ is super cute.

[Charisse]

So, share the recipe for the Shrimp Fried Rice, Please!!! How you gonna tempt a sista and not share the recipe? Am I gonna see you for the Etc. Event? I am coming down again! It's all paid for! I really need to learn how to sew, it would save me a lot of money, for sure! You and Toya have me really wanting to learn!

[Gina]

I am working on an afghan! We have at least 6 more weeks of winter...I will be sure to get a sewing machine so I can get to work on my spring wardrobe! That dress is fantastic!

[Isolde]

Hi, great to read your blog. I love scrapping too, not really love, I'm addicted to it. Hope to see you on my blog too. Here's the link http://sollie79.blogspot.com/
Oh yes, I really love the dress and top you made.

[Kammie-The Candle Girl]

OK, just one question---DO YOU REALLY SLEEP????? There's no way with everything you do! I didn't realize there were that many hours in a day to do what you do LOL--you're awesome!

Love the dress-very cute AND the top--I need that!

[Leah]

I'm so jealous of your ability to sew. I wish I had learned how growing up. I keep saying I'm gonna learn. Never too old to learn a new skill right?

[Lara]

The top is gorgeous. I admire the fact that you can sew clothing! I have tried. Complete disaster! I will just admire yours. Your kids are adorable!

[Nasilele Holland]

Hmmmm I did that to my iTunes and it has never been the same!!!
