Finished Product

Here's a pic of the tunic from last night, next time I'd tweak it a bit, make it longer, one size smaller and shorter sleeves(I have already made them shorter than the pattern-but maybe a bit more). My husband kept saying that he couldn't believe I made it-it's a good feeling to see my sewing skills improving :)

Also sidenote from the post yesterday about the financial planning/budgeting...we didn't buy into doing any program, we just got the book are are using it as a guideline...I personally don't see how buying into a financial "program" would make sense for some in a tough financial situation since they most likely don't have the money to spend on that in the first place. :)

Thursday Already?

Sorry for the blog post neglect this week-I feel like our weather this week has been so crazy that it has me going crazy in a million different directions-I swear every time I have to go outside it pours, I get soaked and have to change what I'm wearing and then it's fine. I was drenched looking like a wet dog at the Dr's office for P's appt this week-I think they thought I was crazy...oh well!

So let's see what have I been working on this week? I've been doing a lot of shipping, a little sewing, a little website updating(very little) and a lot of budgeting. My husband and I actually got a babysitter on Monday so we could get everything together and go to a coffee shop and figure out our budget....ah being an adult sucks sometimes :) We are following the Dave Ramsey Get Out of Debt plan so we'll see how that goes-I'm happy for our decision but know it's going to be hard at times.

It feels a lot more like Spring around here rather than summer so I worked on this shirt yesterday and was able to get it finished today....it's this pattern....from Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross
