Spring Fever

 I've always wanted to do a post with bullets, so here we go! :D

• Spring Fever.....I've got it....bad! It's been so cold down here in the south! We've been blessed to get some days over freezing. I can't remember when it's been this cold! We had a snow warning, which down in the south means we buy out the bread and milk department at Kroger. 
• I wonder if Kroger is paying the weather men?
  
• :teeth chatter:
• I saw my first frozen lake! It was G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.!!!!!!!!!!
• :teeth chatter again:
• For some reason I keep making spring dresses even though there is NO way I can wear them right now.
• This dress is Butterick 5319 with a full lining, gathered bodice, and cute little puff sleeves. :D
• It's the first fully lined dress I've done! :D Yay!
• I had to make some alterations to the dress....It was designed for a slightly more :ahem: well-endowed lady! :P So I mostly just took up a total of 3" out of the shoulders. Of course I didn't think to do this until AFTER I got the sleeves sewn on. rgh.
• Can't you just see this with a cute white or cream cardigan? yummy!
• Invisible Zippers.....LOVE!!! 
• Excellent Invisible Zipper tutorial here: http://sewiknit.blogspot.com/2006/03/invisible-zipper-tutorial.html 
• Pockets.....two of them! heehee!
• School starts again tomorrow. I'm taking a couple Dual Enrollment classes......Calculus I is one of them. I'm really dreading it. :P
• My cousin wants me to copy off a pattern from his Civil War jacket that he uses for reenacting and make him a new one. 
  
• Next project....Butterick 4919. In a teal/turquoise satin. Spring fever...I'm tellin' ya'!
