B 5216 was made over in the plisse and cut shorter and still needs something done to cover the plunging neckline. I made a v.2 in a slinky knit and seamed the two bodice fronts together from the dot to mid bust, much better. I still had to wear a camisole, but much better. The plisse will need to be tweaked a bit. Wore the knit one with cargo pants last night to dinner at a friend's home/ranch. DH said it looked great, so that's a plus.

September 11

On the anniversary of this date, recalling the last 7 years... 2001 - watched on TV, saw the 2nd tower fall on the news while holding my oldest daughter (we were in Houston then) 2002 - pregnant for the first time, not knowing we would lose him prematurely in 5 days 2003 - sitting in a hospital, trying not to have Andrew prematurely, watching the broadcasts; he was born the next day 2 months early 2004 - pregnant with Philip 2005 - living in a new town with all of these babies & DH 2006 - just found out I was expecting and miscarried a few weeks later 2007 - pregnant with Hayley today - watching a hurricane's status and reading the 9/11 recollections My mother thinks hurricane Carla, which was 1961, passed through the same area (freeport area) on/about Sept 11. She can't remember the exact date. September is not my favorite month, but we should not forget 9/11.
