Jades First fitting

Jade came for her first fitting. She was happy with the gown so far. We should be done with this dress by Wensday. Just a little finish work.

We are working on Jades Gown and are trying to decide which color to use and placement of trims. These are her fabrics for gown and under skirt. We settled on the first strip to be burgandy, now we must decide if we want to go narrow or wide between the black narrow and the burgandy. the strips will be lined with pearls.

Deffinetly behind on blogging. We just delivered Kylies Princess gown and are now starting Jades princess gown. We will have more pictures of this dress going up on the blog. This dress will have cartridge pleating as well as a ruff.

tess pictures show progress on Kylies partles. The lace was box pleated to resemble a small ruff when worn.

Bridget has come for a duct taping to make a bodic for her. She works at the joist and needs lots of mobility so I will be boning them with spring steel. Her whole costume is going to be very colorful. She is the daughter of a taylor so she will be wearing a little bit of all his customers gowns on hers.

We finished and delivered Ingrids green dress. Now we are on to Kylies. She does not want much shown so I will give you some other pictures to look at. One is a gift from a friend. She made a fairy house in my back yard. It is waonderful. I love it. The second is my Dog Trinket, sporting a new coat I made for her.

Rainy day

Since I spent the day working on Christmas and Christmas orders I had to find a picture for ya-all.

This is a picture of a crazy quilt I did a while back. It has silk ribbon embroadery, ribbon flowers, lace embelishment, cross stiech and pretty much anything I could put on it.

It actuall rained today, the house felt all cozy warm. It was diffinetly a hot chocolet kind of day.
