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!
