I just got The Word from The Boyfriend that my alma mater, St. Thomas Aquinas, beat Cincinnati Elder 35-24 in the Herbstreit Classic this morning. I tried to follow the radio coverage online but couldn’t get a connection, darn. I don’t know much about football but I’m proud of you honey! I’m not really sure what an offensive coordinator does but you obviously do it well. 
And yes, Karla, it is the 30th and that darn dress isn’t done yet! I put in 60 hours this past week and basically came home to eat dinner and go to bed. Today I played catch-up on all the housework and laundry but, thankfully, it’s a LONG WEEKEND! That dress will be done before I go back to work on Tuesday!
Honest, I wasn’t nagging, merely hoping that you hadn’t encountered a problem with what looks like a wonderful dress. I’m glad you got good football news to kick off your 3-day weekend. As for what an offensive coordinator does, I hope it’s lawn work and minor household repairs. Enjoy the weekend and get some rest!
Alright! Go Raiders! Pats season opener is next weekend – I can’t wait!
I’ve been reading your blog and I really enjoy it! I am getting back into sewing after a 5-year break, and I have a question for you. When you are lining an unlined garment, do you usually omit the facings (on a bodice, for example) or attach the lining to the facing? Or, is there some other secret you can share with me? By the way, I’m selling my embroidery business after 5 years, so wish me luck!! Thanks!
