My new project

For those of you who have know me since birth, I think it would be sufficient to say I have pleasantly surprised you in my domestic skills. Cooking, cleaning, even gardening are things I do well and even like. Decorating is still one I'm not so hip on. Maybe it's just because I haven't had much to decorate in the last three years. Well, to fit with Tres and I's nontraditional life, I have learned a very traditional female skill.......SEWING!!!! Not only by hand, but on a machine too. Mom and Meg, I know you are laughing your heads off right now. Until I got here, I didn't even know how to sew a button. My first project is a Mexican old lady dress that I am turning into a two piece outfit. I am going to try and get it done by the time we leave the ship -- august 13 for those of you who don't know the date. What I have decided to do is take pics of the progress so you can see my first project. Who knows. This could be the start of a new career for me. Also, if my friend Jessica is reading, I also am using no pattern. Simply trial and error. I know it seems weird to write about this while we are on a world cruise, but I am so excited. Oh, the other cute part of the story is the dress is from a Mexican lady that cleaned our room when we were rehearsing in Miami. We spoke Spanish together, and she gave me a goodbye present. She must have thought I looked pretty big. Ok. I will try and keep you as posted as I can.
