This weekend I:
* made three back left bodice pieces before I managed to make a right
* had a complete meltdown when my (very $$$ and not old at all rowenta) iron burped up brown gunk on white silk
* literally burst into tears over the music being played in our sewing room/office... this is when you know you have a guy who is a keeper, when he looks at you like you are NUTS as you stand there crying and then comforts you anyway
* ate a wonderful hazelnut cupcake from my sister (today is my birthday. sshh! spent it sewing (; )
* hand stitched and hand stitched and hand stitched and decided that I need sharper needles
* ended up with something that is starting to resemble a wedding dress instead of just a white silk organza explosion

That last one is the best!! It really is starting to look like a wedding dress, and it's going to be gorgeous. There is something magical about silk taffeta.
utterly gorgeous!
Very pretty, Wendy! Love the "silk organza explosion" image
Hazelnut cupcakes ... I don't suppose your sister would give up the recipe ...
Sorry the day went so badly, early, but look what you ended with! Getting better and better, this is going to be such a beautiful dress! K
Happy Birthday! The dress is going to be beautiful!
Happy birthday! Your dress is promising to look wonderful. I totally understand about pre-wedding meltdowns (though I was pregnant then, too... even more nerves!). Be good to yourself!
I hope your birthday was lovely. Sounds like a rough start, but you're right, he's a keeper. Your dress is coming out fantastic. g
