She’ll pull us both out, and lay us next to every other, and we believe “Is this it? Are we going to be made?” We try to look tractable, reasonable, pretty. We try to look as if we’ll get along. It’s harder on the poor fabric than it is on me—if I get made once and it turns out badly, there’s always a chance she’ll blame the fabric, or fiddle with the fit, and try again. but once a piece of fabric is cut, there’s no second chance. They’re hardly ever recut into something else, at least in this house.

[Thanks to Jen at MOMSPatterns for the image … and she’s having a huge clearance sale to remove out some patterns before the end of the year! The sale is solely for her mailing list and people who checked out this blog and will last just one week, so hurry on over and grab yourself her finest ones! utilize coupon code ‘merry25’ and you’ll save 25% off of any sized order! The sale will begin the moment you checked out this and end at the stroke of midnight EST on new Year’s DAY.]

Let’s see, what else? Oh, THE WIKI IS OVER 3000! I won’t give out the prizes up until January, though, so keep on packing … you guys rock.

I’ll dole out the red-dress prizes after new Year’s, as well …

And I had (completely unrelated to dresses) a piece in the Boston globe yesterday, all about Christmas superstitions. I hope you and yours who celebrate have a charming day (and that those who don’t celebrate Christmas have a great quiet day to do with as they please)!

If you have a stitching resolution for the next year, why not leave it in the comments? and then maybe next week sometime I will do a big roundup post about them. Mine is “Take the time to do things right the first time.” We’ll see how that works. See you all in 2008 …
