KCWC: Days Four through Seven

You'll note the obvious lack of photos in this post.  There's a reason for that.

I had almost ZERO time to sew over the remainder of the week.

Hrm...  Perhaps the week that my sister started chemo (so I was worried), that my husband had some big work things (so I was juggling two babies) and while (still...) looking for a house (so I was otherwise swamped) wasn't actually the best time to take on something else.  Who knew?

On the plus side, while there are still no finishes to photograph, I DID get a new dress for Boo almost completed, and got a little bit of hand sewing done on my hexagons.

Still have a big "look at the pretties!" post and a new "whoa...that was wild" post to put up when I can find a few minutes to sort out the photos...but right now it's bedtime.

Dress Success!

Bug woke me up at 4 this morning.  (The big downside to his going to bed at 8:30 last night.)  Boo and Richard woke up at 5am.  Yikes all around.

Perfect day for some sewing.

I'd tentatively started on a sundress for Boo last night and got as far as cutting fabric.  I was able to get it all together this morning (with some help from Bug).  I want to make some small adjustments to the pattern, but overall I think I'm really happy with it.  Lots of compliments from the family so far and Boo's all snuggled up asleep in it right now, so I suppose that means she's comfortable in it. :)

Photobucket
Pardon the crappy picture.  Light wasn't good but I was trying to grab a photo between Boo nursing and napping, so I'm running with what I was able to get.

I already want to make another little dress for her.  ...After I get in a nap.
