a weekend of figuring out

I have been spending time at my sewing machine figuring out the best way to put sleeves on my a-line dresses.  I am liking this style greatly.  It fits well under a sweater or a pinny.  I can do anything I really want to do in them.  I feel lovely and elegant.  Since we do not have a full length mirror, I am not sure how they really look, only how I feel.  

I think I have the sleeves figured out.  My Beloved laughed at me because it means I will have two new dresses.  One with sleeves and one without.  The one without is from the first test not working out quite right.  It pulled funny across my chest.  I recut the sleeves and bodice a bit.  When I finish the sleeved version, the true test is trying it on.  Let us hope it works!

It has been a weekend of boys under the weather.  My Beloved is still healing.  He is better then last weekend but the dizzies are still around.  Small Mister has a cold.  I had a lap full of small boy most of the morning.  Lately, as soon as he is awake it is "OUTSIDE!"  We have not heard that today.  It has been a good weekend on the whole.
