fire pit

Last night I did not work out because we got side tracked with this getting finalized. I did do some sewing though - prep for an alteration I am doing.

in action

running and sewing

5 miles at break neck speed (for me). I found the old training book you (Mary) gave me years ago so I will use that to get ready for 12K's of Christmas and then the February Half.  You should do the 12K's too. Remember that year we were going to do it and it got snowed out>






This is the finished overall dress #1. I just felt like I was losing the look by adding stuff to it. So I kept it plain. I will have somebody at work get a shot of me in it tomorrow and post that. I will also send the article from sew news showing the overall trend

back at blogging

Ran 5 miles.




If I get time I will hem and finish my coverall dress tonight. I decided not to embellish it because it looks so good plain. Next one (that I have the coverall for), I will bedazzle it.

jeans skirt - just needs a hem.I will get a shot with it on later

new dress

I will do sleeveless with a white collar (or maybe no white collar). I think it will be fun for summer. The fabric is dark blue, I over flashed it when I took photo.

update

you saw the top that did not end up looking a nightgown but here are the photos, again. 

 I am starting something new tonight.  I just delivered a complicated alteration to a client. He wanted his linen shirt taken in to fit tighter but it had felled side seams and was complicated. And I told him I would charge $20 so I did not want to do $100 of work. He loved it. And he wants to bring me more stuff. He wanted me to make the green shirt fit more like the white one.

Yea!

And I ran/jogged.
