light spotty dress for my girl

This was kind of a spontaneous endeavor that kind of worked out I guess.  I don't love love the dress but kiddo does so I guess that's all that counts. 

So, I got this dress at the bins,

 

and then I came home and put it on this zombie.  (but it's okay mom, zombies don't exist in this world)

 

A slightly better view of the thing ~

 

 

It looked pretty straight forward so I just got started.  Seriously, I just laid out some fabric and cut it a bit.  Nothing particularly creative but really it is an easy dress to make.  Lots of gathering but easy.  I added an extra line of....gather???...because I thought it would look better and it does.  Other than that, here's a dress.

 

 

A two hand heart rating is not too shabby.

 

 

That's about it.  I think my zombie girl has recovered.

 

 

 

 

myfm ~ Pokey Lafarge again.  And again...good lord that man knows how to play a harmonica.  And again - I mean come on - he breaks out a kazoo in a good way...yes, apparently it's possible.   I got to see their s.p.e.c.t.a.c.u.l.a.r. show last night at the Grey Eagle and it was amazing.  And now it's got my girl dancing around the room.  Good times.

and now for something completely different.......mid week randomness

On the way to work …

sweet girl of mine - Mom, why don’t you like zombies?

me - …..Because…they’re…dangerous?

kiddo - Why are they dangerous?

me - All they do is try to eat people love.  But it’s okay because they’re just pretend.

kiddo - They’re pretend!?

me - …….yes?

kiddo - You mean…they’re not really in this world?

me -  no baby.  They’re really not in this world.  Just pretend. 

kiddo - oh……………..really??........So they just pretend eat your brains??

            …I’m going to go home and look them up on the computer. 

She doesn't really believe in santa but I've just shattered her world with the knowledge that zombies are in fact make believe.  May she never ask me about unicorns.

Pinterest again - because they keep asking

Reason 42 I love this place.  Random Ladybug landing while I'm chillin on one badass porch with amazing music from some lovely string playing ladies next door.

And because I didn't grab a paper yet here it is straight from the site~



I expect you will be called on to move fluidly between opposing camps or competing interests or different realities. Maybe you'll volunteer to serve as an arbiter between the crabby good guys and the righteous bad guys. Perhaps you'll try to decode one friend's quirky behavior so that another friend can understand it. You might have to interpret my horoscopes for people who think astrology is bunk. You may even have to be a mediator between your own heart and head, or explain the motivations of your past self to your future self. You can't be perfect, of course. There will be details lost in translation. But if you're as patient as a saint and as tricky as a crow, you'll succeed.

Figures.  That seems to be what I've been doing for the past week already.  *sigh

myfm~just one?  I don't think so.  I've been chilling to the Civil Wars a lot this week but while I've got this going tonight I guess it's Paramore.  Pretty much their whole album Brand New Eyes.  Thanks for getting me moving today Hayley and co.
