I got the curtains for Maddy and Matthew shipped off yesterday! Woohoo! Something OUT the door! However I forgot to include the felt chair pads (for the feet of the chairs on hardwood floors) that I accidentally brought home with me. Sorry Maddy! That'll have to come when we bring Duke.
On Sunday I got to browse through sewing mags for something to inspire me to sew for ME! I found some shorts and traced out the pattern from a Burda mag from 2004. How different can they be from modern day shorts?!
After two failed attempts... I'll be starting some today that I hope will make the cut. The first pair had four pleats in the front and looked like I'd surgically moved my hips to the front of my waist line. Not a good look for me...
The second pair, I took the pleats out and even put in the zipper and waistband before trying them on all the way. And that's when I realized that pleats would have been good to disguise what my stomach really looks like. People don't want to see that... So I may make them in denim so it acts as a girdle... sigh...
I sent a selfie of myself in the dentist chair yesterday to Robb. He said he's going to make it his profile pic. Yikes!!! I'm not even going to show that to you.
And this is what I look like when Meri's cat, Fitz, wants to rub his face and chin all over mine when all I want to do is sit and look through magazines and visit.
What a needy cat!
He does this to Robb all the time too. I guess it's because of Robb's beard.
So what does that say about me?

About those shorts__long shirts and blouses
Hi, McVal. This is going to sound crazy, but you wrote a guest post for my site a million years ago, along with many other bloggers, and yours is the only blog still up and running! (Well, in addition to mine.) I am happy to see you're still around. :)
It says a lot about a person when animals love them. I'm not sure about the beard part...;)
