Freeeeeeee!!!

All my life I've always wanted to have one day just for me, nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be....That would be the day....

...All My life I've always wanted to have one day for myself, not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf, with no hems in need of pressing and no sleeves in disarray...and no debt to pay...

...Free to try crazy things, free from endless IOU's, free to fly, free to sing...

...There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams, in my dreams I'll be Free!

No, I haven't become a great writer , those are the lyrics from my a song from my favorite Barbie movie. When you have 3 girls you have a favorite Barbie movie. That is the one you pick to listen to when they want a Barbie movie and you're all trapped in the car. I really don't mind them, it's a change from the other princess movies. It's a great song if you look it up on youtube you can hear it in entirety (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nx2jgHO88fQ).

Anyhow the real reason for all the freedom is that I mailed the box with Sleeping Beauty, Princess Beauty, and Pink Dinner Dress!!!! Now all I have are wedding dresses and Christmas/New Year dresses. I was starting to feel pouty that my kids were going to miss the Sunday before Christmas in our own ward but then it occurred to me that was what I had done to everyone 9 years ago and it's just Karma. Besides the reason I was really feeling pouty was because I wasn't going to be able to show off their fabulous dresses and that isn't a very churchy feeling anyhow. I was perusing(sp?) the Simplicity website today just because and I found the dress I'm going to make them!!! I had a plan but that I liked but I wasn't in LOVE with it and then I came across this pattern and this is it! (The pattern is Simplicity 3545.) I have a embroidered sheer that will be the same on all 3 dresses one edge is scalloped and "finished" and that will go along the bottom. Fred will have red underneath, Jr. will have green underneath and George will have white. The front of the dress is made out of box pleats so you'll have to check back about how much swearing they caused, my girls however will look FABULOUS! See not exactly a churchy feeling.

I will be accepting orders again on Jan. 1 and I already have 3 people who want dresses so the freedom won't last long. :) Now what am I going to do in March?
