Another dress.

Thi one is my size, but it's made from stretch knit.... very scary!

It is a deep teal & such a cute shape.

unfortunately i don't have a picture of the pattern at the time,

just take my word for it! :)

so my question for you is....

have you sewn with this type of fabric??

any helpful hints i should know about??

also, is it really that scary??

thanks bunches. :)

scary day.

it started on monday... grace was not feeling well with a fever, no biggie! everyone around here seems to be having a fever. so she stayed home & watched movies all day eating soup  & drinking lot's water.

tuesday.

she wakes up. still not better so she stays home & goes back to bed. and sleeps. and sleeps. and sleeps.

finally around 12 i go to try to wake her she was burning up & so out of it, like she had no clue who i was!!!

i took her temp & it was 104.5!

Scary!!

doctor tells me to take her to the emergency room. in my mind i knew she had pneumonia. i could tell by her symptons & that cough... oh that cough!!

get to the hospital & they send us to he waiting room with patients that have the flu! we have to wear a mask.

they call her back to get her vitals. her oxygen is down to 80!!!!

we get rushed back to the emergency room where we are quarantined!!

swine flu is what they said. {i did not believe}

they test her for it & treat her fo it just in case.

do x-rays & yup, it was pneumonia!

it happened that fast!

we just got released yesterday afternoon & she is doing much better!

apparantley there have been many kids coming in w/the swine flu... whom have had the vaccine!!

my kids did not get it & will not!!

too risky & not enough research has been done it.

gracie probably won't be back to school until next thursday, and she is still sleeping at the moment

but i am so glad to be home & did i mention that i have awesome friends??

i do they have been making us dinner since wednesday & have it lined up until saturday.

love them!!

{gracie with her goodies so many dolls & stuffed animals & balloons!}

joy.
