why knot?

i am so excited about my latest sewing project.....i have been wanting to try a knot dress forever. i finally picked up some cheap fabric to experiment with and i *love* how it turned out. i loved it so much that i needed to make some matching capris to go with it. the dress is a little big, especially with the capris underneath....i wish you could see the capris more. i may hem the dress a lil' more to make that happen. i used the indygo juction sister's smock pattern for the dress, and the boutique bottoms pattern.

a blustery day.

we had some pretty intense winds monday. i came home from taking austin to scouts and this was what greeted me out back.







thank goodness it didn't get the house....don't think it was heavy enough to do damage to the siding, but it definitely could've broken a window. it took out one of our tiki torches, and broke the latch on the gate and one of the post caps. i heaved them back over the fence into the forest and when austin got home he cleaned up the rest of the little branches and leaves.

14 years.

(and two days since i'm a slacker.)

my baby was born. happy (belated) birthday austin!
