BAD HABITS

I bought this book in a self help effort.

I am fully aware of the worst habit I [or anyone for that matter] could have.

I take on too much.

The word 'yes' is probably the most over used word in my vocabulary.

Don't get me wrong - all that I have been doing...I love it. A lot.

It just makes things like this little spot take the back burner and well...I've missed it.

So I'm back...for good...go ahead and try to get rid of me.

3 DAY REPRIEVE

Things are going to be a little quiet over here at Chez Lemon Pie...I am headed up north to Vermont for a company off-site meeting.

I do however leave with with more new items in the shop.

And the promise of GREAT things to come upon my return.

Until then stay cool, stay dry...stay fly

RADIO SILENCE...but not really

Remember those patterns I cut out? Here they are taking shape. By tonight they will be up in the shop.

Also this weekend I've been working on doing the calligraphy for a lovely friend's wedding invitations.

I just can't stop...ok. back to work.

LAST NIGHT

3 hours of sleep.

Not because I couldn't sleep.

Because I got involved.

Involved cutting out eight (yup, 8) patterns:

• Pinafore
• Rumba pants
• Romper [for boys]
• Blue linen dress [this one will be hard to part with]
• A few bibs
• Sundress thing

I also got involved making a dress [90% complete & sweet as heck].

The cool part: my mom and I were sewing [and ironing] together [obv. working on different projects]. I probably would not have stayed up so late had she not been. It is so great to have someone next to you that loves what you're doing as much as you do.

Getting me through right now: The fact that it is Friday and the gigantic iced coffee on my desk right now.

*it is all for the shop

A QUICK QUESTION

Why do Target models always have really terrible awful shoes that 90% of the time don't match what the model is wearing?

Thoughts on this?

SUMMER LOVE

Target. Where else?

Honestly - best $20 I've spent in a long time. So far I've worn this:

• To a cookout
• To brunch [with a long sweater]
• Doing errands
• To a birthday party
• As a beach cover-up

Each time I wear it people love it.

I went back to buy another one because when this one dies, I am going to need a backup - there were no more though so I am thinking you can only get this online now?

I got a medium and it is 100% true to size.

Love.

NOSTALGIA

This dress. This dress makes my heart oh so very happy. The shiny buttons. The piping. The ruffle. Oh, the ruffle. The little sleeve. Its A-line shape [perfect for a girl with hips]. I can't even tell you how much I'd wear this. There is even a chance I would sleep in it.
