all to myself

Tonight is a scheduled girls’ movie night. However, since the hostess is also having a birthday party for her youngest the following day, we girls decided to keep the weekend trips to 1.  Fortunately, DH made plans of his own tonight, meaning I will probably get the place to myself (if he’s feeling better, that is.)  In the spirit of trying to get my butt in gear, I have decided tonight will be the beginning of two projects I have been dying to finish.

1) The brown and pink polka dot dress for yours truly.  I cut out the pattern pieces roughly, so I just need to cut closer to the lines in order to get started cutting the fabric.  I bought the zipper I needed for the dress too.  I hope I got the right length.  I didn’t have my notes with me.  Either way it should work out fine.  I can always exchange it.  Now I have no other excuses, but to get to work!

2) Crochet this shrug: Shrug Springs Eternal in black with a purple ribbon for the closure.  I bought this lovely extra fine yarn at Pacific Fabrics yesterday.  I hope it’s enough, I only bought one skien.  I will be posting pictures here as soon as I get started.
