Thirty Minutes.

This is the dress we were making at It's Sew Heavenly. 

This one is mine but it's not finished.

 I had a white dress in class but I was making one in pale green (like my students) so I could show the steps as I taught the class.

I want to finish it...but I have so many other things that need done that I can't make it a priority.

So.....

Thirty minutes.

Just thirty minutes a day. (I have 10 minutes and 59 seconds left in this picture)

 I set my timer for 30 minutes and I work until the timer goes off.  Sometimes I do sneak in a little extra.  Is that cheating?

And so it will get finished.  By stitching on it for only 30 minutes a day!

I stitched the entredeux to the neck yesterday.  I finished stitching it all down, which took more than the allotted 30 minutes.

 But I finished stitching it down (by hand) while watching the 1968 movie  "Romeo and Juliette" at night, so that doesn't count. 

  I saw that same movie when I was 16 years old.  

Quite shocking to me then.  But so romantic!  And I think I liked it more this time.  I love the music, which I didn't notice when I was 16.  I love the costumes too.  And Romeo and Juliette were just as I remembered them.  So young and attractive!  I could identify with them because, like them, I was young too.

"A Rose by any other name would still smell  as sweet"

Heritage Rose from my garden.

And I never did identify with that saying when I was 16.  

But that Shakespeare...he must have been a gardener!
