Lazy Sunday

Actually, yesterday was a far more lazy day than today. Yesterday I woke up late (embarrassingly late so I won't tell you when) and then laid in the sun for an hour on my deck, then took a 3 hour nap. Yeah, it was THAT kind of day. I got absolutely nothing done but loved every second of it! This morning I woke up with two things: an irresistible urge to make a pink peasant dress and an eye so swollen that it looked like I got into a fight. Not sure what that was all about, I am pretty sure I'd remember getting into a scuffle and I'm certain I'd remember if I happened to lose. In any case, I jumped out of bed and ran upstairs to my sewing room where I immediately began working on the pink peasant dress that I dreamed about last night (was I so exuberant about it that I knocked myself in the eye in my sleep?).

So, I actually finished this dress in record time (from soup to nuts - I even had to create a pattern for it since I've never made a peasant dress in this size) and was actually able to get my daughter to model it before it started hailing!

Admittedly, she does not look very happy to be modeling in this picture, but that's only because she was mad at me since I told her to stop smiling like a doofus. Plus, she has a new found fear of tornadoes and she was looking up at the sky in panic. I don't know why I have to keep telling her that it's the lightning she needs to be afraid of here in the mountains - not tornadoes! Somehow I don't think that helped much.


This other peasant top is one I made a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to take any real pictures of yet. I haven't decided whether it's truly a peasant top or dress, but I'm leaning toward top since I wouldn't put it on her without the ruffle pants, even though it seems a bit long for a top. Peasant tunic, maybe? I don't know. But I think it's pretty cute, even though this picture isn't that great. We actually got hailed on while shooting this photo.


So now I must get off of my lazy bottom and clean! My mom is coming on Wednesday and I have a crazy amount of work to get done before then!
