I COULDN'T...

SLEEP! Stayed up until 2:30 am sewing my green outfit (which I did a small preview of it on my last post). My husband's been super kind and helping me cut and paste the fabric together for me. He's a wonderful hubby I have to say. Not a lot of husbands will want to do that.

Woke up this morning to the alarm ringing but drifting off and on back to sleep. Husband finally got up to turn the alarm off and what do you know...instead of waking up at 6:00 am, woke up at 7:15 am. My older daughters Selina and Chyna are going to be late for school. I thought whether to call in for school for them or not but I decided that this had happened before (just 2 weeks ago!) that they woke up late. That time, woke up at 7:45 am...very, very late! We had called in for them to not go to school, so they got a freebie. I had told my daughters that if this happens again, there is no excuse. Why should I always set my alarm for them when they go to sleep at 8 pm and they have their own alarms? They are in middle and high school...there's no excuse, no excuse...none at all! My older daughter which is in high school will probably get detention...sucks for her, she'll learn her lesson then.

So after listening to my older kids scrambling around this morning and leaving, which their father took them to school, I just couldn't go back to sleep. I guess all partially because I was contemplating about what to do with the situation and then thinking about my outfit as to what needs to be done on it etc. Tossed and turned and after 15 minutes of trying to fall back to sleep, I decided to just get up and blog and of course check my facebook too! haha!

As I have been mentioning before on my blogs (if you were following me), I've been depressed lately because of this weather. I guess I'm having what you call a winter weather blues. To make the time go by faster, I'm been thinking or looking forward to all the spectacular things that I will be doing from now on out. Just have to get passed January...

I'm leaving you with pictures of my 2nd older daughter Chyna in her red india outfit that I had sewn by hand. I sewed this outfit a few years ago and it's still not quite finished....hehehe. Maybe I'll have to revisit this outfit in the near future to complete it. It just needs small alterations here and there and it's done. Let me tell you, this assemble does not fit my daughter anymore. I guess it will have to passed down to my 3rd daughter Paris..haha!!

 All the laces, trimmings and beadings on the dress is all done by me hand sewn/stitched onto the dress. It took me a long time to get this dress like how it is...as I shouldn't say it's "done" because it really isn't.
