Chipping away at my to-do list

I would have worked on my shirt dress today however I realized that I forgot interfacing. Then I was going to work on a gift but the fabric was in the wash. I picked up the next project however I couldn't complete it today so I didn't put my heart into it. Then I realized, I have had a top moving from one spot to the next, all ready to be fixed but just hadn't made it to the top of my list. Now was its time to shine, it wouldn't have taken so long to fix had it not stopped moving. See it above, its a satiny poly so it makes sense. I'm excited to show it off tomorrow!

So let's play a game. What is this picture of? If you guess it you get a homemade prize!

new project

I'm starting a new project that I'm really excited about. I've been seeing a lot of shirt dresses ever since I thought about making one not too long ago. I think the shirt dress for me was inspired by the fact that there are tons of plaid shirts out there, but for me plaid and shirt are separate ideas. I'll do plaid for something else, but for now I want a shirt dress. I had this pattern in my collection and I'll use it as a basis with the burnt orange leaf fabric.

my room

Clean and tidy, just the way I like it. That and I needed to vacuum so I cleaned. Also, I didn't want to mess up my sleep schedule so I had to find things to do so that I didn't nap. And now I can show off my collage wall (semi-in progress).

It looks tiny this way, IRL it fills up the wall more. Especially since the bookcase is immediately to the right and the wall is 2 feet to the left. Just below it you can see the tip of the corner of my body pillow. I can't really stand back enough to get that full image since then I would be in my desk. Whatevs. I think the fabrics I've put up are a good mix of ideas. I'm thinking about a long rectangle or a couple more like the tatoo rectangle. Not sure, what do you think?

This is just a test

I'm gonna try this whole blog thing out. I'll get my new camera this weekend and I'll do some things I have always wondered about. Like, photographing meals and posting the best one of the day, or the week. It could be good. I also will take pictures of fabric, take some input on projects or make you jealous that I, at any point in my day, could be so close to fabric I can smell it. Although, I just have to go to work to have thread in places I never knew thread could travel to. Trebuchet is also now my new fav font. Sorry arial.

Also, what do I do with these fabrics?
