I promise…

…not all of my apad pictures will be of my kids but I just came across that one of my boys from last April & I couldn’t help but share them with you all!

Is it just me or are any of you having ridiculously late nights like I am. Granted, mine is mostly stress induced but I am still having a hard time getting to sleep so what is the point when I could be watching great movies & knitting?? Trainspotting & the black eyelet pullover from vogue were the creme-de-la-creme last night until after 2am. I finished the front of the eyelet pullover then realized that I had reversed 2 sections of lacework 6″ back so I had to pull it back out to where you pick up the provisional cast on stitches. Anywho….I finished it & enjoyed myself whilst doing it!

Today has been a bit of a sewing morning. I had purchased some fab linen dresses from Costco a couple of years ago with great potential after alterations. Of course they have been in my closet unworn since then until today! They were very rectangular but had a great shape potential so I just added a ton of darts, 4 on the front & 2 on the back,  & took in the side seams to make them much more shapely. Unfortunately the shoulder width is too wide but unless i really want to spend hours on it I am going to have to live with it. And so far I am happy with how simple the alterations were and how much they made a difference. Pictures will be above this here article! I didn’t think to do a before picture, only the after. Darn, that would have been cool! Oh well.

Happy Friday everyone!!
