If I apologize or babble on about how I’m not posting much lately every time I post in the next couple months, that’s going to be 1) stating the obvious and 2) kind of silly, right? So how about if I just tell you posts are going to be few and far between for a while and we leave it at that?
We’ve had a pretty major decision to make recently and I may have some BIG news about that soon, but my current big news is this:
This is Fran, my brand new and very first dress form, hanging out in my sewing room. She is wearing the Jasmine Fail blouse, which I will be posting about eventually in the hope that someone out there in bloggy-land can help me figure out if it’s salvageable.
She is an early Christmas gift from Dan. I named her after a bird. When we moved in to our first apartment, I had a short wire shelving unit I put on our balcony for potted plants. True to form, they all died a slow death from neglect (it’s a wonder anyone in my household is still alive). Late that first fall, a pair of mourning doves set up house, nesting in the remains of one of the dead plants to hatch their three eggs. The lady bird’s name was Hollafrancescina — don’t ask me how I know. I just do. We watched them for a month or two and then one day everybody was gone. We mourned our mourning doves after they took flight.
So my new dress form is named for the mourning dove, Fran for short.
I believe this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Hello Fran! I’m looking forward to seeing more of you.
Cool story about the mourning doves.
Hope you guys are doing well!
It was nice to see my poor neglected plants being put to good use.
I have really bad gas.
Congratulations?
