When life dumps lemons and you throw half back because you can (the rest become lemon meringue pie)

You know how you start something and have great intentions but then something happens to hiccup your progress? Then you find yourself living the procrastinator's dream; I'll get to it soon. But soon comes and goes and next thing you know it is fourteen days later and I am finally posting.

Sorry.

I have perfected excuses or really good reasons (depending which side of the optimist/pessimist glass you drink on).

I broke my phone. Badly.

By accident, but I still broke it and living without a smart phone for two days with my three Things while being a very busy mom is not fun.

We had a tragedy in our community and lost some elementary school students.  It has effected us all and saddened us.  We got to see some of the best of people as well some of the worst. Taking it one day at a time, we are healing.

Plus school is coming to a close so that means more things to do, not less.

However, for all that has come to pass, It's done!

The two Ladybug dresses are done.

(...crickets...)

Huh?

Let's try that again.

I said, (coughs a little). My Ladybug Retro Dresses Are Done!

(silence)

Hmmm... No Hallelujah Chorus this time.

Maybe next time???

Anyways, here are the finished product...um sans her sash, but it's cute anyways!

Speaking of next time, I already have cut the fabric for the next one. pinned it, stitched it and am out of black Rick Rack.

This one wasn't so much from my creative brain as it was a desire to have a Modcloth dress that I wasn't going to spend $100 on (I currently have spent $12.84 on four yards of fabric; I need buttons and more Rick Rack though).

So, I improvised.

Here is a picture of the original dress which they titled; Meow-ily We Go Dress

But wait!  There's more (yes, imagine the cheesy infomercial guys voice).

I also finished my partner's PJ pants today!

So, for as much as I have tip-toed through the tulips, I have been busy.  Very busy.  And I have sewing projects to show for it!

And, Yes. I know there are (pics) everywhere yet no pics anywhere.  That will be changed asap.  But for now, I thought it best to let you know that I am indeed alive and kicking or something.

I might change my goal to writing every other day or two times a week.

So, you have been warned!  ;)
