That dress is so Pebbles!! And I love the cardi. Did you use a serger to make it?

[Robin]

I love both pieces! One great benefit of this new job is -they gave me a super light, small laptop and they are cool with me connecting to the internet on the train by tethering my Blackberry to the laptop. So finally - I will have time for blog reading - on the train!!! Woo-hoo! I may not have time to actually blog myself but I can at least stay in touch with my friends this way!
