Be Mine

Moose took me to the Sweetheart Ball last night.

There was dance instruction followed by more dancing and lots of dessert. It was a wonderful evening.

The Dress was formal. I had to do some last minute shopping to do because while I had a gown it needed an appropriate cover up to make it modest and the best I could do was a plain red cardigan.
I went to Ross and started throwing anything red and close to my size in the cart. I came up with 5 items 3 of which were the same shirt in different sizes. I chose one and came home and grabbed a needle and thread and started gathering it to form a modified Spencer. It took about 10 minutes 5 of which were spent trying it on and taking it off over and again.

It turned out darling AND all I have to do is snip the threads and I will have a fancy t-shirt again!

Then I made a fascinator for my hair and while I was at it I made one for La Keira and for my Etsy shop. Yes, you read that right I am back in business again!I won the prize for "Sparkliest outfit!" Woot!
