And later that same day

Most of my day continued to stink, butsepfer (in the words of a 3 year old I once knew) lunch. I had lunch with an Online friend from SG. Here we are at lunch, we were hoping for a third, but life got in her way and she couldn't make it this time. That just means we'll have to do it again. No worries.

I also have some pics of our apartment, including my sewing room, the really tiny "den", but it works nicely, the Ikea stuff fits well and there's room for everything I need and it's all close by. My only gripe is the ironing board, it just messes with the whole Feng Sui of the room, LOL. If you look closely, you can see me taking the photo in the mirror. All in all it's like a "Where's Waldo" photo.

There's even just enough room for my Singer 201, so it will get used again. I've even bought it a new toy: a new button holer as my first (and I'm sure not last) venture into Ebay. I think I'll get it the blind stitcher, next. But I need to check out it's wiring before we go too far. She's no spring chicken and may have some problems. That would be bad.

You can see her there, on the right, under the Ikea curtains, that I'm going to hand up in just a minute. My Pfaff is there on the white table hiding amongst the pattern pieces - all a result of my Monday night indecision. Some of the mess is gone, some is not.

I really want to make a dress from this fabric that I got from Fabric Mart. It's a stretchy knit, but I don't know what pattern to use. I had a cross top from New Look picked out, but the more I looked at the less I liked it. Strewn across the table is Butterick 5190, but I'm not in love there either.

The fabric is so cute, though and I really want to use it this season. Suggestions anyone?

And my last point for tonight is a picture of the black and white skirt and top I made from Hancock stretch cotton. Now if it would only warm up enough to wear the top. It's just too darn cold lately. I didn't line this skirt, I bought some stuff - at Wallyworld for a whopping $0.88 and it unraveled in the wash, even with the edge stitching, so I just tossed it and made the skirt anyway. C'est la vie, eh? I don't know how to say "you get what you pay for" in French, but it's appropriate.

If you come back tomorrow night, you'll be treated to the picks of the rest of the BeeBee domain. You don't know what you're missing - well, maybe you do, they're on SG already, whatev...
