Settling in

As you know, most of my spare time was spent taking care of Mom. As you know from my last entry, she passed on July 7. After the initial grieving and taking care of her affairs, it is time to settle into my life without her. I hope to have more time to keep up the blog and work on sewing projects. Right now I seem to be in the mood for making aprons and cute little girls dresses. The first of these dresses will be going to the Dominican to my boss' granddaughter. The dress is called the Olivia Reverse Knot Dress and just by coincidence her name happens to be Olivia...couldn't pass that up! It was an adorable pattern and didn't take much fabric or time. I made a few changes to the pattern, so as to use the lest amount of fabric. I have since decided to make a few more, just because they are quick and it will get me back in the groove without much effort.
