The Study .....

Okay, so the last three weeks I have been studying an external course at USQ to prepare myself for studying nursing next year.
OMgoodness do I feel like Ive bitten off more than I can chew right now, yesterday I spent like 3 hours on one question! I was confused, frustrated and felt like a complete dumb head..and yes that is completely a technical term in this house, here I am carrying on like a chicken with my head chopped off when I realised that in this situation I am always telling the children to walk away and come back to it, take a break from staring at it.
Well thats what I did, and yay for me it worked. I wouldnt say that I am completely one hundred percent certain that I got it completely accurate but I tried my best and hey isnt that what counts, and certainly what I tell my children everyday!!

The Dinner Dress

Searching, searching for the perfect dress for the dinner we have for my hubbys work at the end of the month. Finally I found it, only to realise it is overseas and there is no way on earth it will get here in time for the end of March.  Disgruntled. Thinking about wearing a paper bag, then it dawns on me......possibly I could make it...I find the perfect inspiration picture. Then a link to the perfect pattern. Off to spotlight I go, only to find that the pattern has not been released in Australia yet. Finally I found another pattern..thank goodness, now in search of the right material.
A hefty sum later I have everything I need, except the courage to sew the dress. Thinking maybe I will sew it in calico first, to make sure it fits and tweak the bits that need tweaking.....

The inspiration picture.......of course not a black one for me. Something different....just wait and see. I might post a picture of my completed one...MAYBE
