A dress for me..

I've been thinking lately that I should sew more for myself.  Most of the sewing I do are for my 2 little girls. I've sewn some for my oldest daughter, not much for the one in the middle and barely for my 3 boys.  I also need to sew more for my other kids besides the 3 girls.  B-girl(girl#2) is extremely picky, even with RTW clothes.  She is realizing that with sewing your own clothes you can pick out whatever fabric you want.
On to my dress.  I plan on making The Coffee Date Dress

You can get the Pattern for free over at Burdastyle.com.  You might have to be a member though, but membership is free.  This is a great site, lots of patterns.  They even publish some of the patterns from the magazine Burda.  The patterns are not that expensive.  The only draw back is that you have to print out the pattern pieces and tape it together .  This does not bother me at all, I don't mind.  For some patterns they also give you the option to print at copy-shops.

I hope to finish the dress by the end of the week.  Lets see how much I get done.

Cool find #2

Since today is Friday here is my cool find.  
How cool is this.  My girls would love to have this play kitchen.  I plan on making this for them once I find  one of these old tv units.  This one is my favorite, since it has the frig attached to it.
Here a some pictures of some more play kitchens.

Whats for dinner #1

I figure I may not be the only one who needs help with what to cook for dinner.  You can add them to your menu list.  If you try any of these recipes out please let me know.

For our first recipe I am posting one I tried.  Its called
Shrimp Pasta in a foil package.

I made this for dinner and my husband loved it.   By cooking it in the foil the pasta soaked up the taste of the shrimp.  It came out really good and was fairly quick to make.  It is a keeper in my house and going into my recipe book.
