Her birthday party was on the 2nd, so today is more or less going to be a quiet affair with some cupcakes, a stroll down to the park and library, and if the weather permits some running through the sprinkler.

I have Lexi’s latest dress cut, pieces surged, sleeves basted, pin fitted, and darnit– it’s just not finished. My last excuse was that I didn’t have the zipper and I needed new blades (upper and lower) for the Babylock. I have the zipper now, and the blades did come in the mail, but I haven’t put them in the machine yet. I briefly considered adding eyelet lace but that would be a poor excuse for my procrastination since I think I actually have eyelet lace somewhere.

I’m on the verge of breaking down and admitting that pixies are not going to sneak in and finish my sewing projects. I’m not quite there yet, just very close.
