Dyeing...!

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!

EmmaLynne

EmmaLynne did wonderfully playing ladiesmaid. She was great to have in times of need!

she also looked beautiful! Thanks, Evy, for the hair-do!

Ember

Ember is so sweet and wonderful to have around! She was so easy to take pictures of as well!

she is always happy to eat any fruit that is there...her enjoyment of it is so fun to watch!

the otherwise part!

here is the "otherwise" picture!

Evy loves this picture of Jacket in that she feels it has the look of a Parisan Cafe! I'll agree...

fun with fans...and otherwise

All the girls

shoes are a lettle expensive, so bare feet was a fun and modern twist!

couldn't get enough of the fans!

random things at grad party 2

Jesse is so serious!

Grad Party 2 - random things

this is so awesome...my favorite pen and my favorite fashion book...looking totally neat!

my chatelaine, but the best is how she centered it on the most important part.

how fun!

Graduation Party 1

Evy gave me the wonderful, sweet and creative gift of taking the pictures at my party...so here are my favorites...of getting ready...

o.k., so we went a little wild with the hair...but it sure was fun, and turn out GORGEOUS! THANK YOU, Anna!

Badminton is so fun, 'specially in fun gowns!
