The birthday dress photos

Today I am 35. Thanks be to God.

I thought you said your doog does not bite?

Well, that is not my doog! This is a mid century McCalls pattern that incorporates a faux jacket into the bodice. Very tricky, I've spent a few months getting this dress right. Now of course it's the Pink Panther for my birthday dress! I got this fabric at Walmart this summer. I just adore this pattern and am gonna make more of it. There are a lot of color blocking and print blocking ideas to do with this pattern! I have some great dresses coming when I get the time. Hope you enjoy it!

Psycho Sue isn't so psycho anymore, what happened there?

I don't really identify with "Psycho Sue" anymore. I am in the process of emerging from a cocoon I guess. I don't have a name yet. You can just call me Suzanne. I have been focusing on developing my spirituality since October and I have not been feeling much like blogging. It's kinda hard to talk about sewing when you are preoccupied with enlightenment. LOL I wish I could explain it but I can't. I have just been pulled into this direction looking for inner peace and wisdom. I have been growing as a person and started doing daily meditations for lots of reasons. I guess I have become a Christian Mystic. I know, that doesn't make sense. But I never made sense anyway. But that's another story. In short, I kind of realized how much negative energy was in my life, and I wanted to remove it all. It included shuffling positions at work, leaving a project I had devoted 7 years to....among other things. I am feeling good now! I still have been reading comments ...

I'll tell you what I got, if you tell me what you got....

Hi blog friends! I have been asking for this sewing lamp for like 3 years and I finally got it! I love the clip on feature. I can move the goose neck to where ever I need help seeing. It's not a magic genie that makes black thread appear red on black material----BUT it sure is handy! My husband also bought me a tracer wheel made by Dritz. ( I adore Dritz) I am a brute with tracer wheels and I put em 6 feet under about 3 or 4 times a year. He also thoughtfully got me another rotary knife with extra blades! Can I take a moment to ask : "Can you ever have enough material in your stash?!" What didja get under your tree?
