A Series of Unfortunate Events

Oct 13, 2008 11:48


Well, I'll just say that I didn't finish the dress in time for the party Saturday night. As hard as I worked, even up until the moment I jumped in the shower, I just couldn't make it happen. (Believe me, though, I did consider asking my friend to pin me IN the darn thing!)But alas....it just wouldn't have been the same.

I don't know much about dress making ... ok, I know nothing at all about dress making actually ... but this looks totally gorgeous.

OH, thank you sooo much, sweet Charon! That's so nice of you to say. It always means so much to me, hearing compliments from a man, especially one with good taste, like you!

*hugs*

If you want to see the progress, there are a couple of previous posts. I'm going to try to get better pictures once I'm finally finished, too.

Seriously....I love to do this. I'm already dreaming up my next creation. I wish so much that I'd studied this properly when I was younger. *sigh*

Oh, that dress is GORGEOUS!!!! You are one talented chick. :D I like your ideas about how to finish it, but you forgot one accessory: a pee-scented dog shirt for Morgan to wear at home while you're out to your next party. Just sayin.' ::LOL::

Anyway, I'm sorry you had to go with Plan B this time (I'd be upset, too!), but that dress will find a suitable occasion, I have no doubt!

YOu are cracking me UP!!

Maybe Morgan peed on it because she was jealous that I didn't do JUST THAT! Hee he.....

We do have two more black tie events this month, so I'll wear it to one of those. It's a bigger event, anyway, so this will all work out in the end. :)

Uh...that icon is to DIE for! OMG. OMG. OMG! I'm dying at the look on his face! *thud* IF that's from the scene they re-shot, then BRAVO!!! GOOD CALL!

So how are you feeling these days, girlfriend? I'm thinking about you. Are you sticking way out there? Have you long forgotten what it's like to sleep on your tummy? *snicker*

Big hugs!

Heh heh, I just think about what would be just desserts for a dog. He might not understand the "orbiting around the moon" punishment. But a pee shirt? Yes. Totally. ;) Glad you'll get to wear that dress sooner rather than later. You will be a knockout, and the prettiest woman in the room, no doubt. :D

I totally went trolling for new icons this morning. There are so many new ones from publicity photos, the new trailer, etc. *is one happy fangirl*

Feeling pretty good. Headaches have subsided (knock on wood). Belly is DEFINITELY sticking out, lol. I was always a stomach-sleeper, so I've managed to trick myself into thinking that I still am by sticking a pillow under one side of my body. It works so far, but I'm sure the day will come when even that won't do. ;)

*hugs back* :D

Oh dear. Then you're going to be really out of sorts when the pillow trick stops working! OOF! Hmm...perhaps you may have to make Mr. Brat cut a hole out of the mattress! LOLZ!

And oh man. It's like CHRISTMAS with all the new Twilight stuff. I was so busy over the weekend, I didn't get a chance to go shopping for new icons. But I will. Oh man....I sure will. Yours is by FAR the best. It HAS to be.

*whimper*

Oh, thank you soooo much! I can't wait to wear it. It's been really great to get back into sewing after all these years. I'm already planning my next project. :)

OMG I can't believe your dog peed on your top.

But your dress looks so pretty! I like the flippy bottom.

LOLZ!

I know! My poor dog. I think there was just a whirlwind of nervous activity in the house and she was trying to get me to stay home! She's not crazy about babysitters. He hehe.....
