This is the infamous “dress” that has been keeping me busy and not writing lately. I started laying out the fabric and pinning the pattern to it on last Saturday morning and finished hemming the skirt on Monday afternoon. You can’t see the slip I also made to help poof the skirt out for her…
Sunny So Cal While the rest of the country has been dealing with temperatures well below normal, we’ve been having a heat wave here in Southern California. My car’s thermometer hit 90˚F on two separate days this week. Now, granted this was because the car had been sitting in the sun with the windows up,…

We just received news that 20 staff and over 340 students in the Poway school district have lost their homes. Staggering news.

Border checkpoint? Then I’m guessing you went to Mexico? Hope it was a great long weekend. 🙂
Actually, we went north to Huntington Beach, Ca.
