They are still not finished. These are taking so long, I'm tired of looking at them. Note to self: start in Oct. next year. The zippers need to be double-checked because the pull came off of one. They all still need to be hemmed. And they all still need to have the lining attached to the bodice.
Today I did some more cleaning around the LR that needed to be done. Sort and toss.
I really want to play with my new sewing machine, but that part of the room is a mess so it's hard to work over there. sigh. That is work the kids can do but won't.
The 3-hour glucose test yest really messed me up! My legs hurt so much. Charlie gave me a benadryl and the rest of the day I had to sleep it off. I just want to have passed the test. I don't have much longer until my EDD, but I don't feel like dietary changes right now.

Christmas dresses
Ugh! I didn't have enough of the original material to make any skirts. So I had to find another fabric to use. Next time I'm ordering it all online. Early. With extra. Last night and today I got all the pieces cut out except for E's skirt. Fun, fun. I need floor space for those pieces. They are huge. The 6 yds I got of the dark green made L's and H's skirt. Got 5 more for E and O. I also found about 3 yards of this cute crafty material.
But, I did get a lot of cookie dough made with Beth last Wed. Now I have to bake it all up. The ones I have baked taste good. Walnut cut-outs. Charlie and the kids just made drop cookies instead of rolling them out. They taste like pecan sandies.
Then this morning we discovered that our van's rear door window had been broken. According the the deputy there were several other cars with the same thing. They believe some kids spent their Saturday night shooting pellets with a slingshot at vehicle windows. It gave me the impetus to clean the van and the truck. Much work, but pretty satisfactory to be done.
