Sew For Victory Project and a Life Update

Okay, I am super pumped about how my first Sew For Victory 2014 project, the Vogue robe, is going.  (You can find more details about it here.)  I am 98% done with adding some special fanciness to it, then all I have to do is put the main pieces together and add some buttons!  It's looking pretty great, although I did realize the other day (when it was brought to my attention by one of my fiancé's friends) that it does resemble a "Lord of the Rings" elvish garment a bit.... but I think I'm okay with that!

Also, I am a part of the Sew For Victory Flickr group, my profile is here, and I highly recommend it!  It really helps add to the inspiration and sense of comradery.

Also, just to warn you, there will be fewer posts in April than I have usually been doing.  I graduate from uni on May 3, get married on May 10, and before then I plan on getting my schoolwork done, finishing strong as a Resident Assistant in my dorm, moving my things into a house, and getting a "real" job.  It's kind of a lot to handle, so blogging is taking a bit of a back seat spot during this month of my life.  However, in May or June I plan on doing some pretty radical changes to the blog and reopening my Etsy shop, so stick with me and hold out until then!  I'm super excited about these ideas I have to postpone until after major life events, and it's nearly killing me to have to wait!

Stay tuned as well, for a Flashback Summer sponsor has an amazing giveaway coming up for you guys on April 4th!  (Like, seriously, I want this prize.  You guys should be pumped.)
