The Dream Dress for Me.

Drooling and licking my lips:  If I had a pattern for this dress:

Game over.  I would be so happy to have this dress in a money green, with a pair of pretty pink pumps.    My Easter Dream Dress.  I have a pattern close to this but no sleeves.  The price tag for this dress on the website ninistyle.com is $600.00.  For that amount of money, I could pay my car note and still make this dress and get me a hot dog and coke from Costco with change.

Weekend Over, And I Have Accomplished Nothing!

Well I did hit the Joanns sale.  I got to take advantage of the Simplicity .99 cent pattern sale.  I feel extremely lucky.  I got 10 patterns I wanted and some new fabric Yummy.  So I guess I did get something accomplished.  No sewing done though. 

Hopefully I can get some sewing done this week, I have so many options.

WALMART! My Hate/Love Relationship!

I will screech past Walmart doing 55 on a 45 mph highway.  I do frequent Walmart because as much as I despise them, I love them too. 

 

Some prices just can't be beat, and others are not even worth fighting the crowded isles, long lines, parking, and disrespectful checkout personnel in my area.  There are at least 20 checkout lines in my local Walmart, but there is never more than 5 lanes open at a time.  Go figure!  I would rather pay the extra .25 cents at Publix than deal with the hassle on most days.  Really its really not that much different when I did the research. 

 

But, Walmart sewing department and my cheap prescription, gets me in the doors.   Once in, I am caught up with the other stuff I can't possibly not pick up since I am already there. 

 

I did have an opportunity to skip into Walmart this past Sunday and lookie what I came home with, yumminess:

 

 

Yes, I am so excited.  Nothing extravagant, just some simpe sewing that I am looking forward too.
