I should be embarrased to show this to you ...

We were having friends over today for an afternoon bbq, and I while I was sitting reading some blogs this morning, I looked over at my coffee, and saw this:

I kinda thought to myself, man, it's a little messy in here. Then I looked around some more ...

I seriously don't know what happened!! This is my dining room people!! It was time for a little (or should I say big) clean up!! So .. here's proof that I spent some time this morning cleaning before our friends came by ...

Yikes - does your craft room or "dining room" ever get this bad??

Before I realized what a mess the dining room was, I made myself a shirt. It was a really easy pattern called the "megan peasant dress" by Jennifer Paganelli. The pattern gives options for lots of different lengths, and also for different sleeves. I was able to cut the pieces and sew the whole thing together in one night. I still have to cut some threads, but here she is:

Okay ... so now that I have shared, I need to be clear. The rest of my house doesn't look like this!! : )

  6. Hmm. Looks vaguely familiar. The only reason I *know* this wasn't, in fact, my sewing room is that mine still looks like your first photos and wasn't tided by some magical cleaning fairy.
