I conquered the blind hem stitch! Hooray for me! :-) Also, I gots a new black cotton skirt perfect for summer and sandals, and did I mentioned it's supposed to snow again tomorrow? Sigh....

Finished Sundress!
Sew, sew, sew! :-) I've been busypants--had to fix this several times, but it finally turned out okay, I think. The picture on the pattern looks super cute, but I forgot that most dresses I've tried on that don't have any waist/bust shaping tend to potato-sack on me...So I modified more than a little. It's a bit short, but should be super comfy summer dress once the weather warms up a tad.

Recently Finished Book Archive
Dreamers of the Day -- Mary Doria Russell (I liked this book. Not as much as I liked her first two books, nor as much as I loved her last book, but this book is good. I think I'm just put off by the narrative coming from a character I can't really enjoy. Worth reading though. 2/28)
Strangers in Paradise -- Terry Moore (I got a heartfelt recommend from a friend for this graphic novel series and managed to get the first book from the library within two weeks of requesting it. Now...I must wait and wait and wait for the next one...So far, waiting has definitely been worth it, though I'm hoping the next book(s) won't be so short--read this in about two hours. 2/25)
Inkdeath Audio CD--Cornelia Funke (This audio recording helped me knit a scarf, a hat, and some mitts for my hand. I even started another scarf before I finished the story. I forgot who read this version, but they rock--my favorite part was the last couple of chapters. 2/20)
Son of Monte Christo--Alexandre Dumas & Jules Lermina (I gave up on this. I haven't actually fact-checked, but I believe this book was 'finished' by Lermina from notes Dumas had made for the sequel. Either way, it sucks. One of a very small number of books I can't make myself finish. 2/10/09)

Love Day for Retardo
I got the Retardo BogMonster Doll done (with EllyBelly Heart) before Valentines Day, but didn't get a chance to make the Elly Belly Doll until after I got back seeing folks in MT. They turned out pretty goofy looking...kinda just like us... :-)
