Yardsale season is OVER!
Phew. Thank god. I have never really "done" yardsales and so they are a strange animal to me. I made it through, though! Let's hope that I never have to have one again. I am trying out Craig's List as my new form of selling. Do you or anyone you know need a nice shiny guitar?!?! Keep your fingers crossed that it goes!
In other news, my parents left this morning after a wonderful visit. They were great help at the sale and it was nice just to be able to chill with them and watch Casino Royale and play poker. Also, to eat at yummy restaurants! Also, to have presents bought for me like tons of fun fabric from Crafty Planet! Wheeee!!! Trish mentioned that they might have a dress-making class and thought of me. How neat is that? Makes me so happy. So do all the sweet commenters lately! Y'all are the best. I have not been crafting very much on account of all the craziness 'round these parts, but that should be remedied this week. I plan to make a dress for my mom from that Built By Wendy pattern that I can't get enough of and to finish the Vogue that I am in the middle of. I made some cute cabled golf club covers for my dad, but I am afraid that they will not be big enough for the drivers. Those suckers are HUGE! I'll have to whip up some gigantor ones. This is, of course, after I frogged one that I thought was "too big." Ha.
Additionally, I need to get some RA work done (Hi Liz! I'm not really a slacker, honest!) and I am giving myself another 5 page assignment for this week. I'm feeling a bit scattered today. I think I need to watch a movie and knit mindlessly. Off I go!

Glad that the yard sale went well. We call them Garage Sales here in C-Town, IL. I hate doing them - but boy do you find some good deals on things!
Which Built By Wendy dress do you love?? I'm going to look through your posts!!!

It's Simplicity 3835 that I have been getting a lot of mileage out of. I was skeptical at first, but I have made more from that pattern than any other pattern ever!

That's the one I thought it was. I've been making skirts...but haven't gotten up to dress quite yet. This one is on my list when Joann's has their "Simplicity patterns for $.99" sale :)
