I had some bad news on Friday, and now I feel like I'm back to square one. I just have to remember that there are many amazing people who had to pick themselves up and try again many times before they became successful. I'm now one of them and in rather good company if I do say so myself.
Luckily I had a few good things to look forward to on the weekend - Saturday I went to knitting and later that night had a very good NZ friend round to dinner. This Wednesday I start my photography course and I bought a new sewing machine.
I ended up going with this one, and bought it online (it was $250 off and they were very impressive about getting back to me with some questions I had asked). I hope it's here on Monday, because then I can finally start sewing my Swing Dress - today I plan on finally tracing and cutting my pattern (and adjusting anywhere that needs it).
Sydney has been lovely and cool and Autumnal this weekend. The leaves have started falling from the trees which is lovely but odd as it probably won't stay cool until at least April. But I'm happy to enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
I hope you are all having a great weekend,

My Pinecone necklace - the cutest thing ever! Found on Etsy.

Hey, I have the same machine! It's been absolutely fantastic - I'm a total beginner at sewing and haven't had any problems (that don't stem from my own ignorance).

Not sure what you're going through and I understand why you wouldn't want to express it to the public at all, but I hope that you can come through this situation.
ReplyDeleteI truly think this dress is gorgeous. I can't believe it cost so much originally!! Good sale!
