I'm sewing!!! Meri is going to the Sweetheart ball in a couple weeks with a group of friends and needs a new dress. She had her heart set on the one in blue.
So after dinner, mom and I ironed out the pattern pieces and got to work cutting it out of some sample fabric. It's all one fabric, so if this works, I'll may let this be a working sample.
Yesterday Mom did a lot of sorting of her papers. We brought a big basket of various papers from her house on Saturday and she's going through deciding what she needs to keep and what needs to be pitched. She's got a lot of these types of boxes, but we only brought one. I picked up a 3 ring binder and some clear plastic sleeves and she's going to town with it. Labeling each new sleeve as she goes, to remember what goes in there.
If she doesn't get to my socks, I won't be upset... She's happy and busy so that's all that matters! With her memory issues, she does get sad and calls Dad whenever she can to get the latest on his condition. Then says she needs to get home. But soon after gets lost in sorting, so all is well again. Ryan and Leon are enjoying her company
Sonya, I only got a few chapters into the book on Saturday. I read out loud to Meri while she drove, then I did the rest of the driving for the way back, so I couldn't get back to it. We're enjoying it so far and getting sucked into the story and a little bit into the drain...
Gotta go. Have a great Tuesday!

Haha, sucked into the drain. Thanks for reading it, you may be the only one.
You have a lot going on with your parents. And your mom has a lot going on with your socks. LOL. All of you will be in my prayers.
Looking forward to seeing the completed dress!
That dress is really pretty. Can't wait to see it finished.
Love the pattern!
