Christmas is a great and crazy time of year. After faulty lights and
running around like a chicken with its head cut off it's finally here. I
made amazing gingerbread cookies last night (M almost bit my finger
trying to eat the rest of the cookie I had in my hand) and we went to
his aunt's house for Christmas Even dinner. It was wonderful and full of
family. I got JoAnn's gift cards (M is going to warn the store before I
get there) an Etsy.com gift certificate which has already been used to
buy myself that lovely pattern you seen on the side there. It has front
pocket and.... BACK pockets. I have never seen a dress with pockets in
the back like a pair of jeans but I can't wait to make this up and see
what people say. My grandmother and I spent a lot of time together and
I'm soo happy that she is feeling good and is in good health because
this time of year is a great time to count your blessings because
everyone has so many if we only take time to look. Enjoy your Holidays
and your crazy family because sometimes we all need a break from trying
to be normal and just need to be ourselves.
Update on the Merry Making.
Christmas is now over but that doesn't mean the warm fuzzies are =] For
Christmas my grandmother bought me Gerty's New Book for Better Sewing
and can I just say
Swoon? I've been reading it and I can't get
over how awesome the book is. It includes patterns and directions on how
to do just about everything when it comes to sewing. I can't wait to go
fabric shopping with all of my JoAnn's gift cards. She also got me
earings to match the locket M got me last year for Christmas. M got me
books, Disney dvds which we will watch together (you are never too old
for Disney) and a 1950's petticoat!!! I'm super excited to wear it
underneath the dress I'm making now (Butterick 5556) which is a 1955
reprint pattern. My grandmother's boyfriend got me McCall's 9615, a 1950's teen dress (possible 1953) I also got three bags from my aunt and two new sets of pjs.
