So, I'm dyeing fabric spontaneously! I was working on a bodice for Katy (see pic below) when Jack called. She was at Blick and asked if I needed anything...and I had been planning on dyeing some fabric as soon as I could get over to JoAnn's for dye...oh and Vogue for fabric...we seem to b completely out of white linen, which is HORRIBLE when you're in the midst of many (o.k. so like um...four) projects that all need white linen...ergo...I need to go to Vogue! Anyway...so I ended up deciding to test dye some fabric to check color and stuff like that...so you know, I don't like waste four yards of my beeeeautiful cotton... :D

here is a picture of the outfit I am making Katy that I mentioned in my last post. I am making a dark blue bodice for practice first...We'll see how it goes! So far, so good...I'll post more pix later!

All Quiet on the Western Front

So I'm happily preparing for school, spending time with my fambly, teaching (these are my busiest two weeks of teaching yet, but will persevere!), sewing (currently working on a play outfit for Kate, and decorating Mum's room. Yay!), and all the stuff that normally happens on a day to day basis! No, I have not forgotton you guys, just haven't posted anything fun recently! Some day I'll get those Summit pix from Jaclyn... :P

last thoughts

over all, it was a beautiful party, thanks to the many wonderful hands that did food, helped with set-up, tear-down or whatever, the sweet girls who gave their father's day up to dress up, do hair and take pictures, and the amazing guests who came to celebrate from far and near! Thank you for your gift of love!
