This is my latest sewing project.  I had planned on making a 1940's repro pattern robe.  But I didn't have enough material to do it.  So, since I need a decent housedress, this will be what I will do.

I intend to extend the sleeves a bit though, at least a few inches.  I also realize I need to get myself a nice cardigan for the winter.  So, off to Saver's or Deseret Industries I will go.  Surely there will be a decent cardi available one of these places without me having to pay full price?  If not, well...Old Navy?

It's getting a bit chilly here, fall is finally arriving.  I tend to keep the thermostat down in the winter, hence my discussing things like cardigans.  Ideally, I could find one with 3/4 sleeves.  Yeah, right...  I'd love to have one so I didn't have to alway be pushing my sleeves up or taking it off all the time.  What I want and what I find, however...

What projects is everyone else working on?

Hello everyone, I'm still alive!  I ended up with bronchitis for a while and didn't feel like doing much of anything.  Then I'm back to work and we are busy, so I'm way, way behind and I apologize.

It's finally starting to feel like Fall out here!  The leaves are starting to turn, but we've still had unseasonably warm weather.  I don't know if the weather is like this everywhere, but here in Utah it's just plain weird anymore.  Hardly any snow in the valley very often - although not shoveling or driving in snow is always good.  I really do wish we had a little more though.

I'm planning on copying a pattern I have for a 1940's robe.  I have some lovely oriental brocade fabric that I want to use for it.  It should be fun.  I need a new robe.  The one I have is very old and I've noticed holes...sigh.  It wasn't very expensive or of very good quality so I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has to be honest.  Time to upgrade!

Tomorrow is haircut day!  Yay!  Since I've gotten it cut this way, the one thing I've noticed is that I have to keep up on my haircuts.  If it gets too long it really doesn't look very good.  I supposed I could get a crimper and crimp it like grandma used to, but I'm happy with it this way.

Well, off to start supper!  I just thought I'd check in so people didn't think I'd dropped off the face of the earth!
