AHHHH!!!!

What. A. Roller coaster ride. 2 weeks ago God decided to send me a message. And that message was "I hate you!"  I was finally finished with school and would be using my 2 week break before summer school to completely finish the dress. Or so I thought. My son got sick, then I got sick, then Aunt Jackie got sick...and then my son got sick AGAIN and had to be taken to the hospital in the middle of the night! And we all know that was a quick visit, right? So we are at the hospital all night thinking my son's has the bird flu or something and it turns out just to be a 12 hour stomach bug.
   Baby is feeling better, we are all caught up on sleep, time to get to work! SCCCHHREEEETCH! Nope I don't think so because the tooth fairy decided it was time for 4 new teeth at once, 2 being molars. Oh yes, the Tooth Fairy hates this family as well. Tylenol-Cry-Motrin-Cry-Temperature-Cry-Mommy Cry....oh boy.
   Thankfully, today my little man is doing much better. But that doesn't mean I am scotch free. Because, like an idiot, I still tried to do some work during the whole fiasco and made many, many mistakes. Turns out, I extra suck at sewing when I am worried. Who knew? Let me explain:

This is how many times I tried to redesign the dress:

Look at the third dress! What the hell is that?!?!! It looks like a dwarf in a sparkly tulle costume is camping out in the mannequin's skirt. This picture makes me what to hide.

Now, to get to the stains. On this dress, in places now hidden, are chocolate milk, blood, chalk and spray adhesive stains.

---------Sigh---------
 However, there is good news! The embroidery is finished! All the pieces are sewn together...sort of. After 3 hours of struggling with the invisible zipper, I finally got it sewn on perfectly! But, it only zips up the dress half way. So, my fiance insisted he could "Fix" it for me (because he knows eeeeverything about zipper installation). 10 minutes later, he proclaims "I got the zipper up!"...but it completely separated in the middle. AHHHHHH!

To be continued....
