Recuperating

DD and DGD have come and gone.  We had a wonderful visit; they got to stay a full three days with us.  They drove home yesterday leaving early morning arriving home safe and sound around 7 p.m.   I was a vegetable most of the day yesterday.

You may remember that I had some sewing mojo before they arrived, but was busy getting the house and other things ready for their visit.  I wanted to sew a bit yesterday, but just didn't have the energy.  Therefore, I didn't touch anything fearing I'd make a mess of whatever I tried to work on.

Got updated measurements for DGD so I'm stoked to get a few things made for her for the summer.

Hancock's holiday sale began today so I made quick trip into Mesquite to pick up a few McCall patterns for 99 cents for DGD.  Below are pics of two tops I want to make for her.

McCall 6751:  I'll make this view pictured - View B.  Haven't decided on fabric yet.

Another is McCall 6359, View C (the black/gray pictured)

Hard to tell from the photo, but the black yoke is lace.  I picked up a brown lace remnant at Hancocks today to go with a brown crinkle cotton (if I have enough of the crinkle).  If there is not enough crinkle, I'll go thru the stash some more to see what I might find.

Yes I picked up a few more McCall patterns which I'll share later and a couple of Vogue for me.  They were $4.99 today

Vogue 8997

Vogue 9004

I am thinking more about what patterns I buy on sale - not bringing so many home.  After my last pattern purge, I'm trying hard to think twice before I buy.

I hope to spend some quality time in the sewing room tomorrow.
