Green Sherbet

I am feeling rather pleased with myself...
I have made a dress that actually fits me and in my opinion it looks OK too! I was telling a friend that for years I would cut out the pattern size that I wanted to be rather than the size I actually am. My size is a very big one on the pattern and I didn't think I was THAT big!! Maybe I've got big boobs?..sssshhhh. I know the zip doesn't match too well but have you tried to find a lime green zip ever?? Now I am eager to make another but there are so many jobs around this place that are beckoning me. Perhaps I'll make a list of jobs to be done, well it'd be a start wouldn't it? Then I'd need a decaf coff as B and I call it...

I am so eager to get on with my new life with Barry, and we have so much old stuff just hanging around this place. We have both brought loads of things into this little house. There isn't room for any lingering of not-needed possessions, so we are going to try and get up early one morning and do a boot sale. After that the charity shops can benefit....but I might just have to go and see if I need any vintage fabrics too, which might counteract the task of streamlining our stuff!

Do you see the bag I made too? It's another version of the sherbet bag and I love it. I used a remnant of some Sanderson curtain fabric and carefully cut out round the flower motif for the two front panels. I think I am brave enough to use this one! I sent the other one to Ali yesterday, she should get it any minute! I also sent some felted baby shoes and some greetings cards for Ali to sell at a craft fayre on Saturday. I wonder if I'll sell anything?? Ali is looking forward to just sitting and knitting so she'll be happy whether she sells anything or not. Jez will be looking after the girls so I can understand the peace and freedom that Ali will get...
Have a good weekend...
