Green Gingham

I spent last weekend at my Grandma's, and she taught me how to sew! Ok I know a little bit about sewing, but I've never done it with a pattern. Normally I just wing it and see what I end up with! This time I picked one out, and it turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. My Grandma is a freaking wiz with a sewing machine, though!

I ended up looking a little like Dorothy with my green gingham, and I probably should have made the dress in an 8, not a 6.

My Grandma lives in the mountains of North Carolina, and even though I've been there a thousand times, driving myself was a brand new experience. The scenery was pretty breathtaking, and the light on the way home (you know that evening gold light that starts around 6) was beautiful.

Also, I did a blog header for Stevia at The Sweetest Escape. She's a cutie, go check out her blog! If you're interested in me doing a header for you, let me know!
