Fabric. Seriously. I want to make this dress and I can’t for the life of me find this plaid (or is it a tartan?) I’ve searched almost every online fabric site, even emailed one great site (no response) and I can’t find it.

So, I’m throwing out the request to any of my bloggy buddies who sew or know fabric to help me find this plaid. I want to make the dress *exactly* like it is on the model. The most important feature in the fabric that I’m concerned with is the size of the repeat. If the plaid is more purples than red, or another color, that’s fine, but I am looking for the black base and large pattern. I think the larger repeat is more flattering on me than a smaller repeat.

To coordinate with the dress, I bought these boots this week online – got an additional 20% off – gotta love that. Just hoping they’ll fit! I’ve not worn boots in years, and I’m feeling confident that I can fit in these.

So, if I can find the fabric, that dress with the boots will be my Christmas outfit this year. And I promise to get pictures even if I have to lug out the tripod and do it myself.

My daughter sure knows how to throw a great kids’ party. Look at these cupcakes. She and a friend made these. The theme of the party was Elmo, and the party was for my youngest grandson’s 2nd birthday. Evan turned 2 yesterday – I can’t believe how fast those two years have flown.

I didn’t get very many pictures because my camera batteries died. Here’s a picture of Evan. That rocking chair there? Ya, looks a little girly, right? That’s cuz it was my rocking chair when I was 4 years old. I’ve held onto it all this time, and I have pictures of Elise, Cayden, and Evan in it, and in another year, I’ll have pictures of Laila sitting in it.
