There is only one issue, what to wear. That may sound very trivial, but I am down to 2 dresses that I can for the moment fit in. I went downtown yesterday to try to find some maternity clothes. I did find some very very expensive ones, and some not so expensive ones, but truly blah ones.
I shared my thoughts with Mr. SockPixie at breakfast. His answer was: "Make them!" He said: "You have the tools and the skills, make the clothes yourself!"
I love how he trusts that I can do anything!
So this morning I rummaged through all my fabrics, and of course made a real mess in the process. But who cares about the mess, I have a mission: to make a dress today, that I will proudly wear tonight when our friends come over for dinner.
I am excited about the idea, but at the same time I have the image of Lucille Ball in my mind, you know in the episode where Ricky tells her she cannot spend any more money, and she has to make her dress herself, and perm her hair herself!
I might just pop an I Love Lucy DVD in while I sew this morning!
But let's be serious now. I have picked the fabric, a light cotton.
I love the colors and the patterns. Now I have to decide on a shape! Tomorrow, I'll let you know if I pulled a Lucy!
