I am still here and thriving...well I'm very sore, but that's a positive thing, since I've started working out. I joined 24-hour fitness gym. They had a 2-year special at Costco. My Sister and I got to work out with a trainer while she was here.....
Speaking of my Sister - she had a great time! I'm hoping she'll send me pics of the new top I made her soon, so I'll have something to post. lol. Here we are at the Barona Casino in Santee. The Sicilian and I took her there to enjoy their amazing buffet (which is why I needed to play tennis and then go to the gym first). We just kept going for seconds, and thirds, and....you get the picture. Not one for gambling away hard-earned-money, my Sister almost doubled her money! This gave her a total of $1.60. Niiiiccceeee!!!!! lol.
In sewing news, I still have to start my niece's prom dress. That is this weekend's project. The only thing I'm slated to do this entire weekend is her dress. Once that's completed I have a lot of plans that include the latest BWOF magazine. Here are the "absolute musts-make" items from this issue. (What are your favorites?) 
The Sicilian and I went to LA on Sunday and I was able to pick up some really great woven fabric for these projects, as well as another back-up for Kim's prom dress, should I mess up with what I have. It's going to be a dark blue satin with silver midriff. I just have to "git to work".
Anywho, I'll stop rambling and start to prepare to do some sewing. I really want to add some more to my wardrobe and that'll only happen with Kim's dress completed....wish me well.

I do wish you well. It looks like you have a lot in your queue!
Oooo! I just love (and vote as my favs) the two dress patterns with the diagonal sweeps to the waist. You'll look fab! :D
I'm glad you had a good time with your sister. I hope she sends you a photo of the top.
Wow You have a lot of your plate in regards to sewing. Your plans look great.
Keep up the good work!
Good Luck!!!! I hope everything works out smoothly. I look forward too seeing the finished garment.
Hi! I love watching your progress with all your sewing projects. I'm in envy with the availability of all the knits you find. Please tell, what is BWOF?
Ooohh...I LOVE the third one down, and the very last one looks so "you". Looks like you had a lot of fun with your sister!
I need a Sicilian i my life, methinks :D
I see we picked 3 of the same garments from the May BWOF. Thanks for your words of encouragement with my first BWOF. I am debating on whether to keep the zipper in the tunic or omit it. I think I am going to keep the skirt casual, but I think that skirt is so cute. Hope you enjoyed your weekend!
