Still no opportunities for new Special Day photos. I've been developing a sore throat all week, and had almost totally lost my voice, then came down with an ear infection too. Plus it's been raining all day. So I thought I'd take a photo of Elin with her new little Fisher Price playhouse.
One good thing about being stuck inside at home, is that my four Kaye Wiggs dresses are booming along nicely. I was so tempted to take a photo of Layla trying on the first one, but I decided to wait until it's completely finished. So, probably tomorrow. I'm really liking how they are turning out. The skirts are so soft and full, and the whole dress sparkles with a touch of purple. Two dresses still need their skirts basted on, then sewn permanently. I've cut the fabric for the decorative bows and Fray-Checked all the edges since it's so slippery and unravels all over the place. There wasn't enough fabric left to make hair bows, so I found some dark brown velvet ribbon on sale at Fabricland. It was a bit stiff, but I washed it, then left it in fabric softener for a few hours, and that helped a lot. The dresses will need hooks and eyes, but I only have enough for two right now, so will have to pick up some more.
