skirt, originally uploaded by Ladygirl.

Shane and I went on a little 9th Anniversary getaway this past weekend. We moved back here from San Luis Obispo 6 years ago and hadn’t been back, so we decided a little visit was in order. It has changed a lot in 6 years. A Costco, a Home Depot, a whole new little shopping center! It was fun to see our old houses and so on, but truthfully, I would have been happy anywhere. We were on our own and could do whatever we wanted. No sippy cups, no baby wipes, no fussing. It was so nice! I was so looking forward to going to the bookstore and being able to browse at my own pace (even though the majority of my time was spent in the kid’s section).

We were so busy enjoying our grown up time, we took no pictures. But this picture is the product of one of my purchases on the trip. The fabric stores locally leave much to be desired, but the one up there! I love it. I was in heaven! Shane was there and he was a really good sport, holding bolts of fabric for me. I had seen this pattern and really wanted to give it a try, so here it is. I am okay with it. I love love love the fabric. The fit is okay and it will be great for summer. And it will remind me of our romantic weekend!

Sounds PERFECT! Reminds me of last year in Chicago- pure bliss! Tomorrow is our 11th and it’s going to be much lower key, but still without the kids… still with each other, so it matters little.

I think the skirt is perfect. How do you crank our sewing so speedily?! Well done.

Tisra- very simple patterns. They aren’t too involved really. And once I get started, I can’t stop till it is done.

Georgia, you can try mine on and if it fits, I have the pattern. Super easy and now that I have done it, I think another would be a lot easier.

Thanks for the skirt love!
