Today has been workout day and movie day around here.  I ran intervals this morning, the kids and I worked out on the elliptical at the YMCA, and then we spent most of the day watching "Fiddler on the Roof".  For some reason, I have been in musical mode.  Last week it was "Carousel".  Not my best choice, however when we were younger my sister and I loved "Carousel".  I watched it last week  and thought, "Boy!  This is corny!"  The next one on the list is "West Side Story." 

While I have been in movie mode, my hands have been busy.  I have completed a little dress for a 3-6 month old little one(no buttons yet), and been practicing my knitting.  I never thought I would have so much trouble with knitting, but it has been challenging.  I have done a washcloth before, but I thought I would try a baby blanket.  It will not be a great blanket, but I am glad that I am working through the project.  The dress has been a lot of fun.  I can't wait to complete the whole outfit.  The plan is to have a dress with bloomers and a  hat.  It is a pattern that I have done before, but I wanted to do again.

My brain has been thinking about smocking lately.  What will come next?  I would like to do some Fall and Winter outfits, but I am not sure what patterns that I will do.  I would love to make my Garden Tea Party dress with Christmas colors, but that is going to take some time.  If you are interested in any Fall, Christmas, or Winter outfits, let me know soon.  I would love to create something beautiful for Christmas Card pictures or just for fun.
