2012: That's a wrap folks...

It's that time of year, the time when I admit that I did not finish my goals.  It's okay though since there were several other non-sewing victories.
1950s crinoline to go with the pink dresses

"walk away" dress in pink taffeta with black polka dot organza overlay
pink silk dress

reproduction of Princess Margaret's 1960 wedding dress


1850s homespun work dress
swiss waist


black cocktail dress
union suit for Charlie
2013 goals:
obtain a more correct silhouette for work that is functional and doesn't knock things off the shelves.
- short hoopskirt "mini crini"
- 1860s brown dress after Mrs. Lewis William Tappar's dress

Charlie Christmas prep



We call this Hobo kitty.  Catcher is not amused by the rain and flooding lately.
 
I helped wrap that bag behind me.

Charlie is being so patient waiting for his own presents this year.

"Mom, is it Christmas yet?"
