I'm Aunt Sissy!

It's a boy!

Yeap, at 6:30 this morning, Jeannie gave birth to a 7 pound 2 oz baby boy. Making her eat spicy food yesterday worked! :-) Randy and Jeannie haven't decided what they are going to call the poor kid (I'm hoping for Arthur cause I heard that name bantered about) but he's here! I'm going to skip out of work early and go see him so there will be many baby pictures later on today hopefully. :-)

EDIT: The baby picture He's adorable!

Repeat: Do not sew when tired. Bad things happen

So, one of the sleeve backs for the Poe gown I cut out is a bit short. Fine. I went to cut out another sleeve back out of the scraps...without thinking. I pinned the sleeve so that now both the sleeve front and sleeve back have shiny fronts... I want the sleeve back to have a shiny back! So now my options are:

• just sew up the shorter sleeve. It's a centimeter and with lace you really can't tell.
• Shorten the other sleeve to match it so it won't bug me. I'll be wearing a shirt underneath the thing anyway.
  
• Or take apart the skirt and cut off 18" to make another sleeve....

I'm kinda going with the shorten the other sleeve option at this point because I really don't want to take apart the skirt...again.

I'll sew some more all day tomorrow. The other slight problem I noticed is that the bodice fits me right now...with only my corsette on. It means it's a bit too big (which, of course is better than too small!). I don't know whether to take it in now or wait until the full dress is done and try it on over my real corset and see if it's baggy or not. I kinda want to wait and see because I think it's just that I haven't taken in all the seam allowances yet....
