I'm so happy to report that my dress is complete! Friday afternoon I put the finishing touches on the sundress I started last weekend.I'd been getting increasingly frustrated with sewing lately and finally realized what was bogging me down in several of my abandoned projects: the muslins. I decided I just needed to take a chance and wing it without one, so last weekend that's what I did. Not having a long history of ... Read more »

Outfits for going out on the town
Happy Thursday!I thought I'd share a couple of my outfits from the long 4th of July holiday weekend. We ran lots of errands and ate yummy food out all weekend.
