I missed the weekend update as yesterday was pretty bad, even for a Monday (work drama, but it's better now.) I finished a dress I had started awhile ago and thrown into a bag as I hadn't sewn the sleeve cap in right at the time and was frustrated with it. I wore it yesterday to work but didn't have a chance to get a picture of it - next time! I also finished Rose Gable and will have pictures of that soon. I ripped a few increase rows back on Hourglass Jacket as it was going to be too big in the front, but it's back on track now. Also ripped Karma Tank as I wasn't liking the way it was looking. Have about 9" from the armhole done on Lion Neck Cardi, so I should be starting the 5" of bottom ribbing soon (at 11" as it is supposed to be long.
Other than that, not too much to report. I bought a pattern to try sewing jeans with this Patternreview sew-along and ordered some stretch denim for it. I'm off Friday and Monday for the holiday weekend so I'm trying to get some things knocked out at work before that, so I may not really be posting too much this week.
Saturday Jim and I are going on a bike ride with a group of friends to the Mississippi River, so that will be our first long ride together. I think it will be a couple of hours each way but I have to mapquest it. Should be an adventure! On Sunday we have a graduation party for one of our second cousins who just graduated from high school. Other than that, just lots of sewing, knitting and crocheting on tap. I need a nice long weekend as I am wiped out. Next week will be another short one as well as we're going to Galena (Illinois) on Friday for a weekend of golf, shopping, spa-ing and sitting by the pool. We probably will get our pool open once we get back -waiting for all the little "helicopters" to fall off the trees by the pool before we take the cover off.
I'm going to make those jeans also! I can't wait. Trying to make sure I have everything before I start. I have a couple more projects I NEED to finish before I even dream of starting on them though :-)

The ride sounds like fun! Bring your ipod, though. Don't want you falling asleep back there! ;)

It sounds like you have lots of nice trips planned to make up for your tough Monday. Shopping, spa-ing, and sitting by the pool sounds heavenly!

Ooh! Custom fit jeans. If this works out for you, I am going to be soooo jealous!
