Hopped Up On Caffeine...

I'm still working on my hourly intake of caffeine and am a little behind this morning. In just about everything...

No puppies yet. However Ellie is really showing... Don't need a "Puppies on board" tee for HER! She'd chew it off anyway...

Got the hems and gems sewn into the gown yesterday. All that is left is to sew on her belt. She had a breakthrough, she calls it, on what to do for that Saturday. So I'll try and get that wrapped up tonight so she can take it to a friends and try it on for them.
I know you can barely see the little gems sewn behind the hem... BUT it took 3 hours and I'll tell anyone... The waiter at our favorite Chinese restaurant thought it looked cool... Ok I kid... That was baby pictures and so last weekend!! Hopefully it will pull the poof out of the skirt enough to look like the original dress. But at this point, I don't care too much about that. It looks beautiful on her.

Prom stuff is heating up this week with events to do almost every night this week for the Junior parents to get ready. I'm not sure which I'm going to be doing... but we'll see what I can fit in. Saturday night I'll be up all night helping out with the after prom party. Teaching Sunday school the next day should be a hoot!

Got some curtains to revamp for a friend and THEN I can start it on Maddy's wardrobe for Girls State.

She got the honor of getting to go this year! I guess it's kind of like Mock Trial in Middle school. Girls State is a mock government. She'll be staying on a nearby college campus for a week with tons of girls from all over the state and learning more than she ever wanted to know about government. She needs to dress professionally. So I imagine lots of skirts, blouses and jackets. I'll have to check their list again about what she should be bringing...

I haven't planned anything for all my free time after that. But as it happens with extra money too... something will come up to use it.

Found out there is a dog snatcher around these parts... According to my daughter, who heard it from a teacher, who heard it from the police... someone is snatching dogs and using them in illegal dog fights. Just thinking about it makes me very uneasy this week and I am making sure all the doors are locked securely. It's not like I'm against them taking a dog or three... But I don't want to deal with the family heartache if one is taken.

This weekend was a blur. Sewing meetings, shopping, bridal shower, church potluck, sewing and a relaxing visit to a friends. I think I ate too much.

I'd better get back to work. Today is already hopping!
