Internets whoppee do!

Hey guess what?


I'm BAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKK.


I got a killer little mini Dell, wireless connection, and even dragged out the sewing machine to make a fab computer case.





Seriously, I'm pretty proud that I made this without crumbling into tears or swearing like a sailor (there were some tense moments at the end though). I used quilting batting to pad the bag and I think it'll work, it's not exactly tough but it'll protect from scratches.



I even made a pouch for the cord - this was my first time trying a zipper and it presented a definate challenge to my very basic sewing skills. It took much more time than I think it would take anyone else, but eh, my husband was out of town and this was more fun than watching tv.


Here's what I'll look like if I cruise around town with my new stuff.



Now I'll be able to rejoin the conversation from almost anywhere! I can't wait to catch up with everyone!!!

Sweetheart search continues

I'm still looking for more items with sweetheart necklines. I think I like the quest!

This is a lovely dress on bluefly, but I can't get behind it because of the company name. tee hee:





A new thought crossed my mind this morning: Dare I even consider sewing one??




Pattern from Jalie:


Pattern from McCalls (except I HATE the opening part of the bottom)
Sewing seems somewhat disireable, but I'm really not very good at sewing and I don't really know that I have the time to get good at it.

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for this item...
