It’s not feeling like Spring here in the Ozarks — the rain makes everything feel colder than it should be. I know, I know, April Showers bring May Flowers. But now it’s May, so I want my flowers!

I’ll take a Mexican Dress as a consolation prize, though. Check out The Mexican Dress Lady’s amazingly-simple-looking-yet-beautiful dress creation!

I love the way it looks — so long and flowy, yet very feminine looking. I’m holding back on sewing until I get a better place to do it in, but if you’re wondering how to put that old Singer to work, this is a great “try-me” pattern.

I strongly recommend this cute little dress, and it’s not because The Mexican Dress Lady enticed me with magical chiles…

…OK, a couple. I couldn’t resist. Kidding, kidding. Seriously, this is probably one of the best purchases you can make for 5 bucks. Not quite free, but unlawfully cheap. C’mon, fashionistas, get crafty

OK, you can’t shop ALL the time…though I think some ladies would challenge me on that note!

I found an awesome video about chopping onions. I’m finding that I’m using onions a lot more — about to get up and make an omelette, hopefully — and the chopping of the onion would be fantastic.

So here’s the video. I suppose tomorrow I’ll have to come up with some fashion news, huh?
