2012 start as you mean to go on......

Fabulous night on the town with husbando. It's been years since I have wanted to do anything for new years eve but with such a gloriously warm evening, fireworks on the riverbank and dodgy tribute bands playing on the balcony at the casino I was raring to get my pins out, put my heels on and have a little boogie for old time sake. Making sure we only took a slim drink fund meant that we woke up bright eyed this morning as well. I can't believe that I've never seen Mr Smith's Jagger impersonation on the dance floor, it cracked me up. He's really got some groove and I love getting groovy with him. I always shed a little tear at the striking of the bells on new years eve and as I watched the fireworks I was a little sad at the passing of a great year. Today though it's straight to 2012 and I've started the year the way I mean to go on - by spending 8 hours in my sewing room! I picked up some crazy cheap clearance fabric last week and half price patterns so now is the time for improving my very limited dress making skills.

I've nearly finished my first garment and even though the pattern says "easy" it's been some learning curve! Not sure I'll actually wear it but as the fabric only cost me $4.75 it's a cheap sewing lesson anyway. 2012 - the year of sewing I think.
