I keep forging ahead, telling myself that this is a learning experience and my next dress will be all the better for it. Doug helped watch the girls a lot, otherwise this would never get done!

Here I Sew Again...
I dug out my dress project this weekend to try to make some headway. I did get a lot done, but it is HARD and frustrating! My machine is not sewing correctly (still) so I need to take it in again. I ran out of material (user error...) and needed to fuse a couple pieces of fabric together for the last panel of my skirt! Then, the godets didn't come out the same size as the pattern. Not sure what I did wrong, but I needed to cut eight and no two came out the same. And now that the over-skirt is attached to the bodice, I found that it will be a perfect fit for someone 4 inches taller and 5 lbs lighter than myself.

Spring Crafting
I was inspired by the neat craft C made at F's house last week:
and decided to look up something fun for the girls to work on today. Kristi tipped me off that F likes using the glue stick, so we had a successful craft time, where the girls each pretty much constructed these little bird nests on their own:
