Thanks to my friend Becky for not getting away with it. I was lazy, I didn’t want to fix the belt on the dress. She wouldn’t let me off the hook.
So I followed her advice and made the dress better.
Here it is, now the belt is long, maybe too long, but I’m not changing it again!
I also made a stole, I hope it’s enough to keep me warm, cuz this is it!
I’m actually glad it’s not to big and wide. Proportionally it works well. Big question is, how will the weather be early March in Santa Barbara??? We shall see.
I’m still trying to figure out how to use my phone as a remote.
Another benefit of redoing the belt. The first time I lined it with the linen, this time I just doubled the fabric from selvedge to selvedge. It is lighter and ties much better, giving me better waist definition. Something that is important as I age. With age those young curves recede, so any help I can get it a good thing.
I could probably tie the belt tighter, but I do need to breath.
And finally, yup, I need to laugh more! Well this isn’t the end of the post.
As the days get longer, I now can take the boys back to the beach after I pick them up from school.
I do love the beach. I am happy in the hotter valley. But I am so grateful that once a week I can come down here and bask in God’s glory that is the beach.
And spend time with these two as they dig their way to China, and this without any tools. Next week we need to bring the shovels.
