I finally finished Leslie’s outfit over the weekend. Very proud of myself – yes indeed! I’ll be UPSing it to her eight today or tomorrow. Saturday I went to Target and got some really cute powder blue and white tissue paper and thank you cards to match. The cards are VERY cute I might add! They have flur de lys on them, which are my new obsession.

I also got some scrapbooking supplies from Target and two really cute journals from Borders book store. I really don’t know what I’m going to do with them! I would like to make a scrap book of all my completed clothes, which was the orignial reason of getting the journals. One for completed outfits, and one for ideas. But a scap book just seems so much easier and more fun! I was going to do an 8×8 book so it wouldn’t be too big…but I have an uber awesome photo printer, so why not do 5×7 pictures on 12×12 paper? I still need to get a book (all I got was paper and a few emblishments, at the time I thought an 8×8 book would be best). Next time I hit the craft store I’ll be sure to pick one up.

In case you were wondering, I did end up showing my sewing machien who’s boss when it came to button holes. For Leslie’s jacket I was using Coats and Clarks heavy duty thread and it kept knotting. AHHH! So for whatever reason I got the smart idea to try another thread and it worked! JOY!!!!!! Now I need to decide what to do about the button holes I’ve already made. Do I try and find a way to patch them, and then do it correctly? Or do I just send everything to her, cross my finders,  and hope for the best? I mean I DID fray check it to hell and back… I’ll just send it and be done with it.

I also got a pair of skinny pants done for my couin Alyssa on Sunday, Monday I traced and cut out a top for her, and today I’ll sew it. It’s my goal to do something sewing related once a day. I wanted to take picutes of the pants, but they are too small for my dress form! So SAD!!! I’m going to have to make a duct tape dress form of Alyssa.

Well…time to get back to work. Images will be posted later today!!! =]
