My friend Amanda (the one in OH) had this on her blog, and since I don't have anything else to write about, I've decided to steal it. Basically you just post likes and dislikes that people may not know. So here are mine!

Being as heavy as I am
Rude people/those who judge others based on race, religion, gender, etc.
These lists are fun, but once I started I kept thinking of things and had to stop myself from going on and on, especially about the likes.
Well, like I said at the beginning, nothing is really going on. Kristin and Jacob are coming for a visit this weekend, their wedding is coming up fast but planning is going smoothly. My bridesmaid dress is basically done except for the hem and zipper. I'm going to be starting on Chaela and Addie's dresses for Gem's wedding next, so that's exciting. Here are some pictures of the fabric. Addie's is cut out already and Chaela's is in the process.
This is the dress, but there will be a few differences. I didn't have enough fabric for sleeves and I'm putting the rose in the middle. I also won't do those hanging down things off the flower. If you guys think I should put them in, let me know!
After those I'll be starting on the myriad of baby blankets for friends who are expecting.Oh, and for some good news, I got my financial aid. I was hoping for just enough extra to come home for Christmas and have a little bit left over to help us move, but we got A LOT! So we'll definitely be home for the holidays this year! Woo hoo!

I love that you stole my blog! The dress for Kristens wedding is lovely, I got an invite and although I can't come I am super excited for her.
I miss our random times making crafts and sewing things together. You may have inspired me to start sewing again....I need something to relax me after work!
i vote no on the dangly things from the flower. those will be adorable dresses on chaela and addie! i wish i could sew. for now i guess i will just stick to my other crafts. :-p
I also vote no. The dresses are adorable. I'm glad to see you like making things for friends, but the giving them to them part I have a hard time believing....it's been two years now.......
yo! so i really think that you should put the hanging things. it makes it more fancy...just my thought. the pattren looks so cute. u have to post pics of the girls when they have the dresses on! ur bridesmaid dress is so pretty. i am so excited for ur family and kristin! i can't believe we are all old enough for weddings and babies! i feel it was just yesterday we would chill in ur basement or go trick or treating when we were like 16! good luck with everything coming up and i wanted to say that i wish i had at a fourth of the talent u do with sewing things!!! love you!
Hi Caitlyn!!! It seems like years since I've seen you... oh wait, it has been!
So Amanda told me that you were pregnant around the same time I was, but you were due like a month earlier. So how old is Chaela now? Adam is 8 1/2 months, and trying desperately to crawl.
I love the bridesmaid dress, and the one for your daughter looks sooo cute! I would leave the hanging tassel thingys off, and the centered rosette will look really good too, in my opinion.
Anyway, nice to have a way to catch up on how you've been doing. Come by my blog or Facebook and we'll chat!
PS - How do you have time to sew with the baby? I haven't touched my sewing machine (except to move it from apartment to apartment) since I got pregnant!
How come you always manage to post after I look at your blog? Any way... your dress for Kristins wedding looks great I cant wait to see you! 9 days!
I love this blog....I feel like I know you a little more :)
Your dress for the wedding is BEAUTIFUL! It's awesome that you're so crafty.
As if it is even possible, Chaela seems to get cuter and cuter. All of her cuteness could possibly make some people sick! LOL!
I've been meaning to ask you...Did you make those sun hats for Chaela that she was wearing in Missouri? If you did, I would LOVE the pattern. I could attempt to do some crafting of my own.
