the first

The first always seems like a good place to begin.  Why shouldn't the first post of this blog be written on the first of the month?  Gotta start somewhere!

Plans for Canada day this year are small.  I enjoyed a lovely sleep in (days off in the middle of the week always feel decadent), the house needs a thorough cleaning (though I'm not sure just how thorough I can be until the CUPE workers end their strike and garbage is picked up again), I've got a little stretching and maybe even some Wii Fit I'd like to throw in there somewhere, the thought of finishing off a sundress for my friends' little girl River is floating around in my head and there's a fresh venison steak from the farmers market in my fridge just waiting to hit the barbecue.

This is a picture of the little dress that's waiting to be sewn together.  I just got a new-to-me sewing machine and have been anxious to see how it does on it's first project.  I'll post a picture of the completed dress when I've finished (before I send it away to be worn) and then, hopefully, I'll post a picture of the dress adorning its intended.  Here's hoping it's a good fit!
