Snow Days

Snow Days

It's been awhile for sure! I decided to get my camera out this afternoon after returning from an extra long bus ride from Rhode Island. City traffic post-snowstorm is serious! There is so much snow out there---my street hasn't even been plowed yet. It was kind of nice to get an extra vacation day out of all this, but I almost wish I got snowed in here just to see how crazy it was.
Anyway, I've been pretty scarce around here for the past few months. I have high hopes for 2011, though, and I want to get back to updating this blog! This dress was my most recent project. I sewed it up one afternoon after modifying the dress pattern from Built By Wendy's Sew U Home Stretch. I added a scoop neckline and gathered skirt. I'm hoping to make another slightly modified version for New Year's out of black velvet...guess I better get started!
