Yet have nothing to show for it. "But levity" You say "its been weeks haven't you finished anything?" why yes I have finished a pint of Ben and Jerry's. It was yummy too.
Today is the day. My house is clean I have some Swiss Muesli in the fridge for my lunch later. I have the pattern I am going to use ready for tracing. I have my tracing fabric ready to go, and I have everything I need to make this dress. (I am going to skip the ribbon though I never like the way it looks when I do ribbon on things)
Finding just the right layout is not easy and it is made harder when your computer freezes and wont work right when you are looking at free blogger layouts. I think I might really like this one for now. mind you I had also been woking in photoshop to make my own background for my own layout but that got lost as well in the big freeze up of '10.

Description:
This handmade dress was made using my own design. Its a very classic design Full skirt dress with petticoat. and a cute puff sleeve. This dress comes with the black ribbon pictured. It is not sewn into the dress so that you can use it to cinch the waist.
Don't you just love the black, pink, red & beige color combo on this dress?
This dress is made with a stretch cotton fabric with the flower print on one side.
This dress had a petticoat sewn into the inside with a soft slip closest to the child's skin for comfort. NO itch.
This dress would be great for events such as birthday parties, weddings, church services, and special occasions.

in other news I am pro equal rights. if you cant tell.
I finished a nice baby shower basket this last week for a friends.
it had a receiving blanket a matching bib and a cute little reversible fleece outfit. for a new born. I also recovered my old boppy for her and knitted a ear warmer/head band, with a knitted heart on it.
( I threw in 2 pairs of socks because all winter babies need loads of socks.)
The coat did turn out a bit large for a new born but everyone agrees this is a good thing because baby grow so fast.
I have a feeling it will be usable for the whole winter with the new baby due in Mid December. Its super warm and SOFT!

I lived in Guam for almost 3 years and was pregnant with my daughter while I lived there well she seemed to LOVE spicy Miso ramen cause its all I ever wanted when I was pregnant with her.
Now Ramen In Guam (or Japanese style) is not like the ramen you think of. You know that stuff you eat just to get by. College food, I am to broke to eat right food. NO while Ramen is still cheap in (for) Japan its is not freeze dried noddles with a cheap beef broth. It has many different styles and regional differences. Guam had a (what i understand to be) Tokyo style ramen. there was Soy flavor, miso flavor. Then it got to spice.. spicy soy, spicy miso, there was Chasu and non chasu (bbq pork slices) then there was the regional favorites like Kimchi ramen, and Taiwan style ramen, That was a spicy soy ramen with fried chilies and fried garlic.
My favorites?
Kimchi and Spicy Miso Chasu ramen.
I have been craving these ramens for ages but I am on a diet.. what ever to do?

I just want to tell you now though if texture is a big deal for you and chewing on stuff with the firmness of very firm gelatin is not your bag use regular Ramen noddles.
This was so good and very close to what I was going for. The kimchi really did it for it. Its the element that had been missing before. What is still missing? PORK. ah pork my old friend how i miss you. I have been with out red meat for some time now and I miss it.
So for less then 90 Calories I have a HUGE lunch that taste like Guam.
I miss Guam... Ok I miss the food on Guam.
There will never be a better Thai restaurant then this HOLE in the wall "King and I" . If you are ever there look it up its behind a convenience store and next to a gambling bar.
