House. Dress.

So, it's been a while since I've posted...up until the beginning of this week things have been pretty busy. Getting the house ready to put on the market, stuff for various weddings, I don't even remember what else. It wasn't too bad, there just wasn't any time for "extras", including blogging :-).

The house went on the market 2 weeks ago and we haven't had anyone look at it yet. Ha ha, I think it's kinda funny. You spend all this time getting it PERFECT and no one comes! It's good for me though. I tend to want to make things happen if things aren't moving the way I think they should. So, it's been good to try to learn again that the Lord's plan is absolutely perfect and I don't need to do anything except trust Him. Has he ever done anything that wasn't the best before?! No. You'd think I would learn...

Just a little side note -it's kinda funny seeing your own house in pictures...looks totally different in person. Interesting seeing it like other people would, at least on paper. This is the little whachacallit sheet that Karen made up for folks to take.

This week has been nice and slow and the house is pretty much clean so I've been able to relax a bit and get working on some projects. Finally started (and almost finished!) that dress for Gwyneth I posted about. I actually decided to make two (thanks for the input!!) and use both fabrics. I started with the pink fabric so I can work out the kinks size & style-wise before I make one with the blue ('cause I like the blue a bit better too). So far it's turning out pretty well, a bit big on the sides, but I think I can make it work (going to put some ties on the side so it's adjustable). I also put some cute green fabric on the backside of it so it's completely reversible (if it gets dirty, you flip it!). I love the way it's designed because she'll be able to wear it forever...she can wear it as a dress while she's little and then can wear it as a top when she's older. I didn't come up with these ideas on my own, I saw the dress online...by Right Bank Babies so I'm pretty much just trying to copy it :-). Once I get those ties made and attached it'll be done. Then it's off to #2! It's so fun making stuff! :-) (I know, I'm a dork. I get so excited about this stuff!)
