I've decided that this fall I'd really like to focus on finishing current projects (I have way too many going--some from last year!) and re-fashioning old clothing. I don't plan to purchase new fabric for anything. This will be very difficult for me, but I think it will be a good character building exercise. ;)
So today I whipped out this cute dress/tunic for the fall! I found a really big man shirt at Goodwill, cut it down a bit in the side and shoulder seams, sliced it in half, and sewed in a thick elastic belt. Ta-da! I really love it. It will look great with jeans, tights, or leggings once the weather turns cooler. For now I can wear it with shorts. Or without.
Also, I don't think I ever posted about my hand-made hay feeder. I am very proud of this hay feeder. Sure, it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it works great and it turned out just like I wanted it to. When I was preparing for my goats and looking around at different feeders, someone recommended that I build my own using 2"x4" wire fencing. Goats tend to jerk big mouthfuls of hay out, dropping about 75% of it on the ground, and wire with smaller gaps helps to prevent massive hay-waste.
As a last aside, little Truitt is doing very well and he and Dean are becoming fast friends. Truitt follows Dean everywhere. It's really cute.
Next project: Black Corduroy Jumper! Whoop!
Be blessed,
Bessie

How cute is that tunic! How did you sew in your elastic belt? By the way your goats are pretty cute too. We have neighbors who just bought 3 nannies-CUTE!
