That seriously made me LOL and I told my husband and then he LOL. Because we totally relate. There are people EVERYWHERE and they aren't always nice. The traffic, the waiting in lines..ugh. It gets stressful. We survive by living on the outskirts of NoVA, southwest of DC. It's a long commute for my husband that I can't say he loves but with 4 kids it's the only way to afford, well...anything on a one income family. If you ever move back you'll at least know us with our 4 crazy kids, haha ;)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234675793303009185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379276788260277931.post-44897727736797513772012-10-03T14:31:07.271-07:002012-10-03T14:31:07.271-07:00Hi Jamie!

The iphone does actually take decent photos but sometimes it's hard to get things to focus and the pictures often seem washed out. 2. Thanks again! That's very sweet of you to say! :) 3. I've had mostly good luck with their patterns. I'm a small D/full C cup and I have a thicker waist than my measurements normally call for (I can blame my 4 wee ones for that, lol) and they seem to work for my frame. That said, I haven't had complete success. I still have a Peony and Clover pattern I haven't been able to successfully translate for my figure. Hopefully I can tackle those again soon. Still, you should definitely try Hazel, it's so simple and easy to adjust and the result is such a cute dress!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234675793303009185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379276788260277931.post-43076395473968152642012-09-01T10:12:19.165-07:002012-09-01T10:12:19.165-07:00I agree!

All these small projects really build my confidence in dressmaking.
