To celebrate, I got a new sewing machine (THIS ONE!) and finally made Elizabeth a dress-and-backpack combo. She had picked out the pattern and fabric a month ago, and I finally did it. Apparently, I can sew! It wasn't me, it was my old, unworking sewing machine that was the problem before.
Taking pictures (or "catching Elizabeth on film") is nearly as difficult as sewing, by the way. (It also helps to have the camera on the right setting, apparently.) Here ya go:

Yahoo on the WIP!
Yeah! It's so great to know you're on the right track. And I'm even more impressed with your sewing!
Love the new pick. Quantum Mechanics. Good one.
Yes, lovely Quantum. It's not my lil' red book, though. Oh, no. I'm not a math whiz AND a writer like Jacqui there. However, I am a Quantum Mechanics Widow, now that my husband has started his PhD program. He is always studying. And by always, I mean, he takes a notebook and pencil to bed.
Amber, I've decided we're kindred spirits. I "found" you on Shannon Hale's website and zipped over to your blog. When I saw your blog address, I had to laugh, because that is so me! Two kids, zero time to write what I love (middle grade and YA), unless my kiddos are sleeping. As for my marital status, I'm a widow to education, too. My husband is just finishing up his third year of an MFA in poetry and has started the rigorous PhD application process. Whew! Anyhow, It was a treat to find your blog.
My Congratulations. Does Elisabeth like the dress?
I’m also amazed with your photo in the nice hat. Do you really read that?
Hello, Kim! Nice to *meet* you. Isn't Shannon Hale wonderful? I'm considering driving 5 hours to see her at a book signing in Vermont...but prob won't because of the kids. Some day. Some day. She's an inspiration b/c she writes so well AND is a stay-at-home mom.
Val~ No, I don't really read Quantum Mechanics. Sadly, my math skills end at basic pre-calculus. (If I brushed up a LOT.) My husband is the math genius in the family. I was playing around with his new hat that I found at a rummage sale while he was studying.
So Impressive!!! (the writing AND the dress)
Amber,
I've had the opportunity to attend a few conferences where Shannon Hale has been a speaker, and I've been to several of her book signings, and I have to tell you that she is as hilarious in person as she is in her books! (Have you read AUSTENLAND?) I love meeting other stay-at-homes who are pursuing their dreams while raising kids!
*Thud* You have a clean house, 11K on your wip, and you sewed that pretty dress? Kudos!!! I'm impressed.
Woo hoo!! That's awesome! You go to town on that new WIP girl!!
Cold start times are becoming unacceptable for most smartphones.
Satellite internet makes all of this possible since it doesn't
rely onn traditional wires. Finally, the internet will allow people another
revenue stream by either freelancing or selling items online.
The internet is no longer confined to just oour laptops and our
desktop computers.Start internet browsing and check for any interruption.However the most crucdial part of choosing a provider for wireless Intrnet is to be sure of what they can offer you.
