Inspiration

I'm almost through with all the things I have to have finished before the 9th. Last night I added another layer of tulle to Electra's dress. I had started with one layer but it needed more. So I put one more white layer. It just still didn't scream Electra! So I found some white tulle with silver glitter on it.

NOW it says Electra!!!

I had made a jacket for it. But I don't think it works now. (Now Electra is not as big as this pic looks, she is a little whisp of a thing, but I had to fit it over my Molly Mannequin to photograph. You'll probably see a lot of Molly in the future.) Do you see the sparkley tulle at the bottom? The dress is all white with an MP lace design on the top with crystals. I used pattern butterick 4120.

The Christening dress is coming along wonderfully! All I have to do is put the sleeves in, finish the neck and put the buttons on. It is SO pretty! I can't wait to see Baby Julia in it!

I did all this while listening to Madame Bovary. Stupid women why can't we just be content with what we have. Ahhh but the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, or was it over the septic tank?! I think Erma Bombeck said that.

Well, now that I'm almost through with the must do's. I can start sewing for Me! And just where do you go for inspiration, you ask. anthropologie - I love this site. There are many more, but this morning I was looking at their fabulous clothes and thought about sharing it with ya'll. Check it out.
