Where have you been?


So...I may be the very worst blogger out there! Last post was about 6 months ago. Oops! I have been very busy creating some custom dresses for my own children for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am on this new kick where I like to use Europeon patterns. They don't even give you pattern pieces, and directions are very vague and are translated into English. Can't I be satisfied with Simplicity like the rest of the sewers out there?? Always love a challenge!

This summer I entered dresses in my local farm and state fair. I am happy to announce that I won 6 First Place blue ribbons, 2 Reserve Champion ribbons, and the ones I am most proud of are the Presidents Award and Viewers Choice Award from the Maryland State Fair. The president of the State Fair picked MY dress as the best piece of clothing out of all clothes entered (probably around 400 entries). I didn't even know I won until my husband brought the dresses home and all the ribbons were pinned to it. :)

Maybe I will take up blogging in 2010...
