Old: Oh, just this annoying pain in my right hip that won't go away.
New but old: 1) On Wed. night one of our young women and her mom brought me a surprise. I do her mom's hair pretty frequently and she knows that I am learning to sew and last time she was over I still didn't have my own sewing machine yet. And, on their way to the church they past what looked like a sewing machine case that had a sign on it saying "free. Still works." So, they turned around a picked it up for me. How sweet is that?! So, even though I actually did break down and buy a sewing machine not too long ago I am totally keeping this one.
2) I found a beautiful pink skirt at Good will the other day that I was honestly hoping was my size, but it was a large children's skirt that had been misplaced. It was so pretty though and only $4.99 that I had to bring it home for something. At first I was just going to try and take it in for Samm to wear, but then I had a vision in my head of a dress that I wanted to make for Macy. I finished it a couple days ago, but when I had Macy try it on I died laughing. Since I didn't have a pattern I was making it up as I went, and the sleeves ended up looking like something from Star trek. I wasn't going to post pictures until I fixed it, but it's good to laugh at ourselves every once in a while so I'll let you all laugh a long with me. And if your wondering why her mouth is purple, it's because she had just eaten a purple marker.

Great job! That is super cute! :) You are becoming quite the DOMESTIC GODDESS! :) I love the sleeves!!
How cute that you made a dress from the skirt. I wouldn't have even noticed the sleeves until you pointed them out. Still cute!
Not to freak you out or anything but you might want to get your hip checked out. I had an annoying pain in my right hip for many years and when I finally went to the doctor I found out I had a tumor in my hip and my hip was deformed far worse than it would have been had I not waited so long to go to the doctor.
Oh and the dress it totally cute. I'm impressed!
I think the dress is cute.....and I'm WAY impressed that you can "make it up as[you] go." Awesome!
I know an excellent orthopedic surgeon and if I talk to him, I think he will take your insurance. Let me know. The dress is unbelievable!!! You know that is what a good ward does, looks after it's memebers. We are so fortunate to have such a ward
cute dress Sally. I have a dress pattern that I saw one day and loved about 2 years ago... maybe you just inspired me to actually use it!
I love the blue. I wish I knew of somewhere around here that sells OPI. Does Sally's?
So I happen to love the Blue, and you did a FABULOUS JOB with my blue french manicure. I must say that I did wonder whether I was too old to wear blue on my nails. But if I can't be daring and confident now regardless of what the normal pro quo is when Can I? Bottom Line Embrace it be bold!
I choose to step outside the box!!!!
Does this really surprise anyone about me? After all I am the medicated crazy of the bunch. ;-)
You never cease to amaze me. Blue nails and a cute dress from a skirt! The sleeves are even fun, but easy to fix if you want to. Yeah, and you best get that pain in the hip looked into. You just might need a chiropractic adjustment, but... listen to your cousin.
