Eventually, I'll get there...

Today's entry is more an update of sorts. Things have been a little crazy at home as of late, with the swiftly approaching holidays and all.

I finally got the hard drive replaced in my lap top, so I should be up and running in full swing after the Thanksgiving Holiday.

I recently got a sewing cabinet for Big Doris, so I've been sewing like no body's business. I am working really hard to get my "Travel Dress" completed. I was inspired by Mode Merr's The Jet Setter Dress so I am working on Vogue Pattern V8280 in a grey suiting that I bought from Joann's. Hopefully, I'll have it finished by this weekend, as I really want to use the left over leopard velboa I have floating around in my fabric stash to work on a brush roll for my growing collection of make up brushes...I'd also like to make a removable collar for my black jacket.

Here is a tut from the lovely Casey (plus a bonus giveaway) for a Peter Pan style collar

However, since my coat has a pointed collar, I'll probably use Colette Pattern's collar tut just because it matches the collar of my jacket already. It will take some of the guess work out of it.

Of course, I will be doing it with leopard print, as it will match my leopard print pill box that I made for my last travel adventure.

In addition to all that sewing, I will most likely spend lots of time this weekend cleaning, and running around my apartment in a tizzy trying to get my life in order.

Oh, yesterday I got my hair cut, which was an adventure. I got swing/swoopy bangs cut in, so we will see how that works out. I accidentally forgot to tell the girl to leave my layers long, so now I have short layers....ugh. I always forget something. it's not a big deal. Hair grows.
I've yet to set it so I have no idea how it will work out. Today I wore it in a modern style just to see how it looks when I am feeling lazy. I'm not totally in love with it, but I think I can deal with it for now.

The upside to yesterday was that I got a really awesome planner from my friend Kat. She saw it in B&N and decided that I had to have it. I am in love with it. It has all these great vintage pictures with catty little sayings like "There's no household chore that a little Merlot doesn't make easier" and 'A stitch in time deserves wine." Kat is such a doll and I am super lucky to have the awesome friends that I have.
