Big Catch-Up Post: June and July New Year's Resolutions, and Other Stuff

Arrrgh! Time is really just getting away from me this rotation!

For June 1st I started making a dress. It was a painful process, especially since after I'd cut out all the pieces I discovered my sewing machine got broken in the move to my house.

Laying out the material and cutting out the pattern.

Hand sewing. Freaking painful

The finished product, photo taken during one of those try-on-different-things-to-make-new-outfits sessions, hence the huge pile of clothes on the bed!

July the 1st I was at work late, so it was a bit of a struggle to come up with something. I decided on another craft based project and this time it was to make something from a craft tutorial on a blog (I know it's hard to believe but I haven't done this). I decided to make Violet LeBeaux's tea wallet. Her original tutorial is here.

 Green peppermint tea for a green tea wallet!

I added a ribbon tie closure :)

Also, last weekend someone brought me these beautiful roses...

Aren't I lucky? :)
