last Saturday we had a taste of spring with a glorious sunny day with very light winds. it was so nice that we had to make a pup tent to keep the sun off while we had a backyard picnic. i had that thing when you look at last year's clothes and think "i've got nothing to wear!" so i promptly went off to Spotlight knowing that they had a 50% off summer fabric clearance and snapped up some lovely cotton to make a new dress.

| sunny saturday |
i started on a simple cotton shift and carefully matched the pattern at the seams, made nice, even binding and pressed to perfection. everything went really well and the fit was spot on. on Monday afternoon i popped the dress on 'Betty' ready for today's photo shoot. this morning i noticed the dress was a bit askew so went to adjust it when i noticed a few holes in the fabic.

| aaarrgh, holes! |
i whipped the dress off the mannequin and HORROR! the entire back was covered in holes, evil little cat claw holes. he must have been busy all night wreaking havoc on my dress and who knows why? Dr Harry where are you? this isn't the first time he has attacked my clothes; this dress and necklace have also suffered from his claws, but with everything going so well i had forgotten. i had to leave the house and ahem, do some more retail therapy. when i came back home i noticed Max was back to his angelic phase, snuggled in the bean bag with Snowball. that's him on the left, how can i stay angry at him?

| good and evil |
i guess i'll try popping the dress in the washing machine to see if the holes magically close up a bit in the wash. meanwhile, i have cut out another dress and 'Betty' has moved to a locked room.
