Sewing Camp!

Next week is my birfday, and I am taking not only it off but also the actual day (Tuesday) but also the day before (Monday, of all things - who knew?). I have a massage scheduled, as well as a chiropractor visit, on Tuesday, and I will probably go see a certain sparkly vampire movie by myself. My gift to Brief is that I don't make him go see it with me.

I believe Monday will be spent SEWING SEWING SEWING and I am calling it Sewing Camp! Perhaps I'll make more than lanyards, even. I have 2 shirts to make and one dress. FOR ME. I'd have another dress to make but the fabric hasn't arrived yet. I whipped Bloomer up a frog dress last night, and after she offered a multitude of complaints about there being the wrong sorts of frogs on it and polka dots instead of stripes - honestly, the torture I inflict on her is like the Guantanamo of home sewing - I told her that if she didn't like it, I would throw it in the trash and wouldn't bother making her anything else special ever again. She started whistling a different tune then, although it hard to hear her from her solitary confinement cell. I kid!

I started the Frenzy 'o Baking tonight, after discovering that half the cherries were mildly fuzzy. That eliminated the possibility of cherry cobbler, but did leave enough to cover the cheesecakes. I also found out my MIL ordered a cake, so the lemon cake will wait for my birthday (YUM). So I'm only making the cheesecakes and the lemon whip pie.

It's about bath time 'round these parts, so that'll do for today. Plus skies are all rumbly and the power is flickering madly. Also, Zapper has not had her requisite 9 hours of snuggle time and is attempting to sit on the keyboard.
