This blouse has taken me way longer than I had hoped. It's not a very complicated pattern (McCall's 5469), it's just that I haven't had much time except for bits and pieces.
Today I'm packing up our crate for the Houston quilt market. I know I haven't been talking about this much, but about 60% of my work time has been dedicated to designing, planning, shopping, and form filling (not to mention check writing) for the booth these days- and at times it's been a real headache. We're coming down to the wire now with less than two weeks until departure.
The workmen swarm has finally subsided and today I'll find myself for the first time in weeks... months, actually since everyone was home for summer, that I'll be alone to work. *this of course, on a day when I could probably use some helpful men around!
Once this crate is out of the way I'll only have the curtains to make (which ideally should've been INSIDE this crate) and some printed collateral- a swank vinyl banner with our logo on it and the new catalogs for Cloud9's next collection, which I'll be sharing with you after market!
Next on the Cicada Studio agenda: I have a nice wholesale order for some pillows in a new shop in Woodstock, NY- will share details as it unfolds. Really need to get this out the door before market. The rush is ON.
Oh, yeah- and yesterday I got a new haircut!

Looks like the house is not the only one that has been taking care of :o) Haircut looks good and the blouse is nice, as always.
-Fab-
The blouse is adorable but your haircut!! wowsers!! You look great!
This blouse is going to look smashing with your new 'do! Sorry I couldn't meet you before your appt the other day, but with a short haircut, I imagine you'll need to come back in 6 weeks for a trim so we can try again!
OMG!!! Your hair looks so cute!! How long has it been since it has been that short? I loooooove it!
You look fabulous...a great new look for the quilt show.
Love the pretty blouse & your stylish haircut. I have the same long hair for years & would love to be be so daring & lob it short - but I'm not that daring :) .
The time paid off...it looks wonderful!
That's a great blouse, and I think your haircut is super chic and looks great on you!
