I've been wanting to do some sort of gorgeous vintage inspired lacy number for ages... but surprise surprise I haven't been bothered. <br /><br />Am *considering* a reappearance to blogging. Hahaha. It's so much better for my sewing initiative and reading other ppl's blogs gives me tonnes of glorious inspiration (especially yours!). <br /><br />Do you happen to remember the pattern you used for a top you made a while ago. Could have even been over a year ago. It was cream and satiny and had a kind of "knot" at the neckline. I wanna make that one! <br /><br />And I've been meaning to ask you for ages. Is your husband the anaesthetist or the hand surgeon? I went to the hand surgeon to get my munted finger fixed, but he didn't look like I remember your husband looking in your photos. Either that or my memory fails me (as usual).

You are very inspiring - with many garments I would love to have myself. <br />You said you were a little surprised at the amount you had spent over the year - just imagine what it would have cost to have the same garments (of the same high quality) ready made.

One thing I intend to do is keep a track of my sewing spend this year, oh and learn how to finish my knitting pieces. I have 3 cardigans finished, but just don't know how to sew them up neatly - ironic isn't it?!

I like the tee shirt dress for its uniqueness and the lingerie for the pretty factor. How have you found the whole book keeping project? Has it been enlightening or just plain dull?
