A BIG Formal Design Half Completed!!!--Finally!!!

I began this complex design over a full year ago.  it's so complex I put it down b/c of not having suffiecient time, so tonight I finally stopped procratinating and pulled it out and finished the skirt.

I still have the top to sew, I was able to sketch the design tonight for the top at least.

 

 The train is held up by a sewn in thumb loop....you can choose to let the train drag, but it's more practical to use the thumb loop to show the contrast of red and black reversable beautiful satin fabric.

 Sketch of the top of this design yet to be sewn...to be continued.  :-)

The next project after I finish the above design  Leather look alike fabric with the below animal print sheer fabric.

Sketch of what I roughly intend to do the the leather look alike and leopard fabric.

Fun Friday Dinner with Aldrich Ladies

Fun Friday evening before bible study.  Melody Aldrich and her cutie pie daughter Katelyn, one of my favorite kiddos were in town visiting and came and picked me up right after work and we went out to a fun dinner at Interurban; a great restaurant that serves healthy gluten free food among other things.  Katelyn knows how to use an IPAD...these kids know more than a lot of us do!

 I really like how the sun rays were beaming on them; suits them; they set a great great example.  :-)

 Posing with Katelyn in the car.

My staple at Interurban, grilled tilapia with THE BEST salsa verde ever!

Shirts Galore!

It is true, the more you serve and give the more you have.  Those of us in the Jeremiah Production were blessed and given the T-Shirt shown above.  They are for sale for anyone at reflectionsbookstore if anyone wants to purchase one.  I REALLY LIKE how they made ladies and mans T-Shirts different.  Above is of course the ladies shirt...it curves in at the waist so ladies can still look feminine in a t-shirt.  I like that!  The mans T-shirt is straight at the waist.

We have new concert staff uniform shirts starting at the Ballet Monday and Tuesday night for those of us so blessed on the Armstrong Auditorium concert staff.  I have NOT taken it out of the pkg yet so the suspense of how it looks!  I heard that people like it, so I'm sure I will.

Monday!--A Nice Gift & Macbook Issues

My day today is all over the place.  First off, started off GREAT!...great, wonderful, fabulous friend Gladys Welsh gave me this amazing swanky watch as a gift this morning just because!  Wow, all I have to say is friends are always spoiling me by showering me with gifts!  Thanks Gladys, I LOVE it!  Thanks Sean for letting your fab wife get that for me! 

On the flip side, my PC at HQ froze up on me this morning, so my brother told me to use his laptop to work on until he fixed my pc, and come to find out it is a macbook!  Working on that thing was like typing in another language.  Needless to say, I was slow this morning in getting things done b/c it was like I was computer illiterate!  Finally am back on my pc; back to knowing what I'm doing!

The Jeremiah Cast After Party!

Everyone seemed to be having Jeremiah parties who were watching it online, so thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Flurry those of us in the Jeremiah Musical got to have our own Jeremiah party after the show was over.  Was tons of fun.  That was very kind of them to have all of the cast over to dinner for a pizza party afterwards at their expense.  

I can actually name the people int his pic since it's not a ton....Gianni Welsh, Micah Turgeon, Paris Turgeon, Grant Turgeon

 Eleisha Saranga, Jordy Rouzer, and yours truly

This is not Mark Jenkins real hair color; he left the gray color in his hair from the show.  I told him I was taking the pic and he agreed.

 I totally broke diet to celebrate...Pizza and beer!

 Jordy!

 Daniel Welsh always has this same expression on his face....looks likes he's thinking. oh no, here she comes again taking pictures!

 Little Stella Trebels looks on page.

 Ansley had to be a shot!

Conner Brown

If you like Conner Brown's look better WITHOUT his beard take one last look; he shaved clean to portray Young Jeremiah, but he said starting tonight his classic beard is coming back.  Sigh, one final look.  I don't think I've ever gotten a pic of Conner without holding a coffee cup since he was age 16 literally, I'm not joking!

Making & Putting up Safari Netting!

A few posts back I knew I wanted to put safari netting up for my bed since I have netting up in the guest room in my home...well, I started that project today.  It's shimmering gold netting...the photo doesn't show the gold as shiny, but it is....Believe it or not...8 yards is what you see in the pic, yeah....so I have to go and get 10 more yards to finish the other half.  I can't believe how much fabric it takes!  Wish I had known how much to get when I was in the fabric store!

The beauty of it is that God blessed me with a 50% OFF coupon...so check out how much I saved shown on the receipt.  Yeah, it's great to have God helping you ont in every aspect of life!  Wow, 50% off!
