Woman on a mission

I really need to get that dress done for Thing 3 and myself.

I am getting antsy for it.  Plus, I really want to make the next set of dresses.

The greens, trees, polka-dots, oranges are really fun and I want that dress now-- maybe even more than my current dress.

Speaking of, I know what I need to do, I just need to do it.

Procrastination.

Write about other things, do other things, sing la-la-la and avoid the dress form in the room.

And to make things worse, my favorite, dream fabric store just announced the arrival of a new trunk collections that knocks my socks off!  More ideas are fluttering under the surface, waiting to pounce.

My goal is that both dresses will be done by the end of Mother's Day, this Sunday.

Which may indeed happen, plus a huge pile of other to-do things.  My husband said that he would take our Things to the grandparents for the weekend, leaving me to myself!  I was literally in shock, but I've since gotten over that and bounce between spa treatments, make-overs, eating out-multiple times, shopping sprees, a bottle of wine to myself or just cleaning and sewing peacefully.  I may leave the house to eat out once or go to a non-Thing friendly place (antique shopping) but I foresee a peaceful home stay and plenty accomplished.

At this time, that is a beautiful gift.

  1. That was awfully sweet of him. So, spill. What's the name of your favorite, dream fabric store? I feel like I'm missing out.

    1. Most amazing fabric shop here is Treadle Yard Goods in St. Paul, Minnesota!

      http://www.treadleyardgoods.com/

      Unfortunately, they don't have an online store but their collection and selection is drool worthy!

      And it is on the amazing Grand Avenue which hosts some of the coolest shops in the cutest house/stores. And if you are into really cool architecture, there is Summit Avenue just a hop away.

      Oh, and my partner and kid free weekend was Divine!
