My Birthday

Today is my birthday. It will be a good day. Serendipity has stepped in to make sure of it. Today I have not one, but two sewing classes. I usually have one a week- alternating between day and night, but this week both classes fall on the same day. Yippee. I get to spend my birthday sewing dresses. I popped (note- I originally wrote 'pooped' here) into Spotlight last week when they had 30% off and snapped up something beautiful floral voiles. I'm going to make some Summer dresses. 


Today I'm wearing my birthday dress. It's my birthday dress because I only finished it yesterday. This dress was a tester for a pattern that I drafted by combing elements of my two favourite patterns. I love it. It fits so well and only coast $18 (including thread and zipper). Huzzah! I took these shots yesterday in Mum's garden. Spring is definitely in the air.





A glass of celebratory strawberry and line Swedish cider...yum. Matches my shoes nicely, don't you think?

Fab dress, fab photos! Happy Birthday Rosie-girl. (And I like the discreet hiding of glow-in-the-dark irradescent winter white legs - well done!)
