Too Much Fun at the Fabric Store

Oh my, I have a daughter! And she will wear dresses!

In high school, I did a lot of sewing...costumes for plays, dresses and skirts for myself...fun stuff. I haven't done much, other than some home decor sewing since having the boys, but now, watch out...here I come!! I went to get some thread so I could sew the two pouch slings I bought fabric for awhile ago. Amazing how many other wonderful things I could find! I ended up with fabric to make 4 dresses. I am so excited to have another project to keep me out of trouble! ( or maybe not trouble...just keep me from laundry, house cleaning, and menu planning...the mundane!) I hope to begin the sewing tonight...I promise to post some pics as I complete my projects.

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet some local adoptive families at our agency's regional picnic today. One family is very close to traveling to get their children. They have a beautiful family and it was wonderful to be able to share hugs, stories, laughter, and hopes for speedy travel. I continue to meet the most amazing people on this journey! Also had the chance to catch up with some old friends, and of course, share Miss Sunshine's picture. It is all so fun!

We are enjoying a relatively quiet weekend...with hopes to finish the deck, hang out with friends and eat and drink good food and summer beverages! I am off to make some strawberry shortcakes for a bit later....
