Isabella's Project Diary

...that I have to do before the end of the year. I cut out the Viking last night over at a friends house. Everyone was giggling. "Isabella's cutting out a early stuff?" Well, until they realized I was doing the multi-piecing period cuts and then they gave me the "You are no fun look" :-)

So, Viking and Gothic Fitted gown are both on the list. I need to get both done by the end of the MONTH. Fun. Actually, It shouldn't be too bad as long as I cut a bunch of patterns out this weekend and then I can sew through out the week.

( sewing details blah blah blah )

So, that's my sewing update for now.

I finished the outer skirt for the "Just Breathe" gown that I'm going to sell. The material is cyrstal organza and this really pretty pearl seed beaded chiffon. I'm almost finished with the inner skirt which is satin crepe. I might be able to finish most of the gown by tonight or tomorrow.
Yesterday, I actually worked out in the lawn. My yard was starting to look scary...which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering Halloween is right around the corner. Thanks to the drought I lost two of the small azalea bushes in the corner garden. They weren't exactly lively to begin with but dead plants like that really made the yard look horrible. So I dug them up, put some top soil down, and planted three mums, a pansy, and that pink flowered plant (I have no idea what it is) that one of my neighbors gave me. I also put in a scarecrow but, like one of the guys at the mall said, it's not gonna scary anyone.
So, the lawn is mowed, the garden looks nice, and the gown is almost finished. Now, hopefully I'll find out if I can transfer to the unit I really want to be at in my job this afternoon.

and you happen to want shoes like those in Ever After for the "Just Breathe" gown, I think these will do nicely
