Birthday Surprises

[serenalyons]

My neighbor came over with flowers and a card that are fantastic. Big gorgeous sunflowers. Then Donny came home and woke me up nicely and said let's go to dinner. Well, we ended up going to Anthony's. I had the crab, shrimp, and artichoke dip, caesar salad, crab cakes with rice and green beans, 2 peach lemonades with Stoli, and an oozing

Sounds wonderful :-)

Btw, I wanted to say I was doubly impressed recently when I realized you must've sewn your Tudor entirely by hand.

Thank you. The farthingale was machine sewn (And what a shit job, too. I need to make a replacement) and 3/4 s of the boning channels on the corset are done by machine. I had 8 weeks(? I think I remember that right.) to get it into a wearable state for Baronial A&S competition.

Quite insane. :) I recall you sounded exceptionally frazzled. Btw, you oughta take more pictures of both that and the Italian thingie too. The Italian in red was pretty on you.

Thank you! I also need to take pictures of the Royal blue Italian with the uber train. I have to finish hand smocking the neckline first though. The Tudor should finally be finished mid-Septemer. I have been working on it for a few weeks now. Matter of fact I should finish smocking it so I can wear the blue one to fighter practice, this week. Oooh, good idea.
