Yesterday I fit Arika’s sarong, but completely forgot to take pictures. I’ll continue the visual after her next fitting, in 3 weeks. Here is the result of our fitting session:
Things to be decided at the fitting:
1) how much fullness is really wanted at the necklineThe amount of gathering at the neck actually worked [...]
I was doing an alteration for the girls dance studio (Don’t get any ideas! I don’t do alterations, this was just a quick favor in exchange for Zoe’s new tap shoes). The front desk staff put the costume in a bag and just handed it to me with the instructions “make the crotch 5 [...]
Last night I spent over an hour blow-drying the Bible. Kevin had to do the Zone at Tim’s house because his office isn’t inhabitable yet. After supper the girls went up to their room and played quietly together for nearly an hour. During this time Quentin was also playing quietly….in the bathroom. [...]

Quentin loves to make up his own songs. One is about this animal, his most beloved. It’s name is lepard (leppu) and Quentin sings “leppu, leppu, leppu, [...]
I just got off the phone with Mama. Daddy has to have a heart cath on Wednesday morning. Daddy had a massive heart attack last July. 100% blockage in the left descending ventricle. Known as “the widow-maker”. Mama drove him to the hospital. He went in to asystole 3 times on the table. He [...]
I need a shower. Seriously. It’s not pretty. You wouldn’t want to be within 5 feet of me right now. I don’t.
I’m still in the stage of life where my showers have to be scheduled at everyone else’s convience. I am however, past the stage of life where I have [...]
Here are the pictures of Tara’s prom dress. Tara called me on April 6th and asked if I could have a prom dress made by April 22nd? After talking with her for a while, I figured out that the design she had in mind was not all that complicated and that she was [...]
