Fun today, patterns, fun tomorrow
Mmmm... been dreaming, crazy and vivid, last 3 nights. Each dream has focused on a friend. Last night was Aaron. I think the night before was Ridgely. I forget the first one. But, as dreams are wont to do, they are slipping away.
Had fun today! Robyn and I had a blast wandering Woodfield Mall and the Streets of Woodfield. After that Daph and Matt joined us for dinner at Portillo's (I had Barnelli's Spinach and Strawberry Salad), then dress shopping at David's Bridal. Yes, Daph is making her dress. :D Ours too, I believe. I had a good time.
After Daph and Robyn visited for a while Matt and I ate those AMAZING raspberries, and some GINORMOUS strawberries that we'd also gotten at Meijer. Way yummy. Meijer really rocked out with their berries. A little drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup made them even yummier! ;) I love berries.
Daph mentioned that her Joann's is going outta business and they have patterns CHEAP in liquidation. Made me go find my notes from Halloween on the costume and scrubs patterns I'd found. So besides this tribal pattern that I lust over, here are the patterns, with the ones I REALLY want bolded:
Simplicity:
Misses Renaissance Costumes, Misses Renaissance Dresses, Pirate girls, Misses Gowns, Gypsy/fantasy costumes, Gypsy/belly dance costumes, Misses Belly Dancing Costumes, Fairies costumes, Kicking Ass costumes, Full capes, Vintage Capes, scrubs, scrubs.
Butterick:
Lady in the Mist, Historical gowns, Mrs. Claus, Fashion through the Ages, Scrubs.
McCall's:
Oriental Robes, Kimonos, Can Can, Ren top, Ren skirt, Scrubs.
Whew! If I get a few through Daph, then it's an excuse to finally learn how to use my sewing machine well. Maybe even with Daph or Karrin's help. :D
OK, since Tyler's coming into town to visit tomorrow, I should prolly crash now so I can get some rest. :D
