Talk About Tuesday

Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new you may want to check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!



I have to make a confession. I'm enjoying this carnival a lot more than I thought I would. It is practically forcing me to work on projects when otherwise I would just lay on the couch being sick. Does it make me a bad mother if I say I was more motivated to finish my daughter's Halloween costume for TAT than for Halloween? Ok then, I won't say it.


There were a few days where I couldn't do a thing on it because I was too sick but I did a little bit at a time and it is almost finished. I need to hem it and we are going to "sparkle it up" as my daughter tells me.



I think the highlight of the whole experience was when Persistence was trying it on so I could mark the hem and she neglected to tell me that her foot was bleeding. Yes, she bled all down the white front of the dress. Doesn't that sound fun? Luckily I was able to get it all out with a little scrubbing.


And by the way, why didn't someone warn me that she was going to need a poofy petticoat to wear under this dress? I had to make another trip to the fabric store for netting but you could still save me from sewing it if you have one you could drop off. I would really appreciate it!


I almost forgot to tell you that when I was done with everything I cleaned up my mess, folded the fabric into a baggie and added the pattern and a notecard detailing the date, the size I used and the changes I made to the pattern. Not because I'll ever use the patter or the fabric again but just because it was organized and fun!!!

What do you have to talk about this week?
