Sundaes and pizza...

I started a dress today and in the process of starting it, I had to run to the store to get more thread, made a pizza sandwich, started working on new labels and well...needless to say got a weeeee bit distracted.  Me, you ask?  Never!  Ooooh...something shiny!

Where was I?  Oh yes, so I am glad to say that the dress today is fixable but sadly the sunsuit I started working on yesterday is not.    =)  It is from the Australian Home Journal (1955) and well, the pattern pieces/instructions were not the best I've worked with...okay, it could also be my occasional lack of attention that lead me to cut it wrong.  Hey...what can I say?  =)  So here it is...
Yes, yes...I know the armholes are lacking in the "roomy" area but that will be fixed soon enough.  I just absolutely love the blue though...LOVE it!!!

My second little project this morning is the Sundae Skirt which I am wondering if there is any way possible I could squeeze into it.  Maybe not with the three days of pizza I have had.  But there's always cute little bugs who are more than willing to have a twirl or two in it.

The colors make me so happy and for a brief (very brief) moment, I forget about the snow that is blowing around outside my window.  Spring I tell ya!  I have some more fabric I can't wait to use on this skirt...it's just so fun!

So, I am now down to my do-over with the sunsuit so I will charge on and hope this one turns out a little better this time.  I find it definitely helps to cut the pieces in the right direction!
