My Fifteen Minutes of Fame

Denise, of The Blue Gardenia blog, has posted a wee interview with moi.  So, go check me out if you please.

In other news, I wish I could tell you all that I have been sewing but not posting about it.  Alas, my every waking hour, and countless sleepless hours during the night, have been focused on picking out more "stuff" for the new house.  We have now officially settled on most of the exterior and interior items.  But, it seems that for every step forward (we picked out all the kitchen and bath fixtures yesterday), there is one step back (the islands in the kitchen were too big to allow for adequate traffic flow and had to be redesigned).  However, since spring has sprung in these parts, the builder hopes to start digging the foundation very, very soon.  I cannot wait to see those digger machines chugging along!

Making Progress

I am forging forward with my B5523 project.  I found a gorgeous coral wool knit in my stash that I purchased from Fabric Mart a while back and I have cut out all my pattern pieces.  Today, I will be sitting in front on my machines to put it all together.  If all goes well, I can see making up this dress in a few different fabrics, as I really need to flesh out my professional winter wardrobe.  Things are looking a bit sad in the HZC closet these days.

Also, from the "I-didn't-want-to-tell-you-all-because-I'd-rather-increase-my-odds-of-winning-but-that-would-be-wrong-so-I-guess-I'll-tell-you-all-anyhow" file, Denise, of The Blue Gardenia blog fame, is having an amazing giveaway.  So, I suppose you could go check it out.  I'll be right here, trying to work some voodoo magic to ensure that I win.  And not you.          :)

Now, That's What I'm Talkin' About!

What's the best way to usher in a new year?

A cozy evening spent with loved ones? A quiet evening of introspection? A booze filled bender of epic proportions?

No, no and ...maybe, um...no.

Browsing a vintage pattern seller's website and then subsequently purchasing four luscious lovelies that make your heart sing and soul shiver?

Yup.

Behold the glory that awaits me in 2010:



Maybe there is a god.
