So, I finally managed to land a paying job, yippee! I am making all the dresses for a number in the spring show. It's Somewhere Over The Rainbow, and I am making this dress in different colors for all the girls






The finished dress actually has some flowers on it, so I guess they all probably will:-)

I'm so excited, I have to take measurements today, and hopefully get them done this weekend.

Also, I have made my first massively successful piece of real clothing. My sis wanted this made for her, but it fits me perfectly, so now we are fighting over it.



I'm going to make these for my store, I have about five different stretch laces that will be perfect.

So, as you can see, I've been pretty busy around here:-)

Allright. South Beach. Not sure it's for me. To much freedom maybe, leading me back into temptation. I made it to Thursday, but then had pizza. Not to much, I din't go overboard, but I did eat (and drink) normally since Thursday night. It doesn't help that I have been feeling like crap, flu-like without a fever. That's just an excuse though.

So, I am deciding whether to trudge along on South Beach, or to go back to Medifast. I know Medifast works, just not sure why it wasn't working for me last time. The fact of it is I like fruit, and dairy, and I can't have those on Medifast. I think I will give South Beach another week and see how I hold up. Even with the slip up, I did okay. I didn't gain weight, and I even lost an inch. So, it wasn't a complete failure.

On the rest of my resolution front, I have been doing very well. Obviously I quit making and keeping daily and weekly goals. That was very positive, so I think I need to bring that back. I have been doing very well on the social front though. I've really been overcoming my uncomfortableness with strangers. I have made a few new friends with common interests. Of course those relationships are slow to develop, but any real relationship is. I'm not dating, but if someone got around to asking me out, I would have to seriously consider it. I think I am ready to consider the dating world again.

I have been designing my heart out with several successes and several failures. It's been fun. I am completing stuff, wich is awesome.

Well, back to your incredible life now.... Thanks for wallowing in my pig-pen :-)

Learning to sew is hard! I didn't even photograph all my nose dive failures from yesterday. Oh well. Live to sew another day I suppose.

I did make this last week so the baby has variety since she skate twice a week.






I changed the skirt from the last one, but I need to trim it since it's longer. I've gotten fairly quick at making this design. About two hours total.

I spent all night trying to make shirts last night. I used a few patterns, but failed hilariously. I did finally create a pattern of my very own and make one success.



I think it needs length, but it will try it on the baby. I made it small so I didn't waste so much material trying tee he he.

I made this as well. Not sure whether to laugh hysterically or burn it in shame. It doesn't look so bad on the dummy though. I love the scarf too.



Well back to the drawing board/sewing machine!
