sad dog face

I have a lot of sewing updates today! Well nothing like MAJOR but compared to the rest of September's posts, it's comparatively a lot of progress. LOL. I decided to name today's post after the first thing I saw when I clicked over to my pictures for today's post, and the first thing I saw was a sad dog face. So I'll start there this week.

itsa my birthday too

Hi Hello I actually have content to post this week! I worked overtime last week so I could be off on my birthday.

ensconced in velvet

Mom gave me some purple velvet for Christmas to be used to make a cape. Buuut now I'm all tempted to make the Arwen Hope Dress with it instead. That's my favourite dress from LOTR, I think... I love the colours. I'll have to measure it and see how many yards I've got...
