As I have mentioned before, we have been watching The Brady Bunch on PBS in the early evenings mostly to clam (or calm) the crazies while I make dinner. And I have been obsessed with Cindy Brady's dresses. Well, the pattern that I chose was just that. A 60's throwback.I did change it up a bit.

A Formal Apology
I'd like to apologize to any residents living in Utah county. You may be looking out the window at a grey cloud covered sky and be blaming the inversion for the bleak scenery.
