Sorry it has been so long since my last post, my laptop charger just up and died on we randomly. I ordered a new one but when I received it, it didn't work either. So after contacting the company I am awaiting my new new charger and hopefully it will work right. Currently at this exact moment I am borrowing a charger for a little bit to charge my battery and make this post. I have been busy, I have made a few aprons for my nieces, which I think turned out stinking cute. I am in the middle of making a baby blanket for my friend, who's baby shower is the 21st, so I really need to finish it. It is such a pretty green. I have a house guest, a friend who I became friends with in Kindergarten. She is moving back to the area and her and her kids are staying in our guest room for at least the rest of this week. So the house is crazy hectic but that's okay. It does make it harder to stay on top of the cleaning so tonight I will have to really get on it. Along with finishing my dress. What dress you may ask.
Well, I am making a dress for a murder mystery dinner party this weekend, this Saturday at 4 to be exact. The time is 1928 and I am a reporter. DH's outfit is all ready to go. In fact I made sure he had a couple options to chose from. The main part of my dress is complete but I have a sheer overlay I want to put on the top part down to the drop waist but not covering the handkerchief skit. It would be much easier if I had a pattern but I am kind of making it up as I go along. So if for some reason I don't complete this overlay, I am sure I could just wear it as is. Along with my t-strap shoes, cloche hat, my 3 "pearl" necklaces (2 I made, 1 that is a real pearl necklace I inherited) and be good to go.Well and I need to go pick up some stockings to wear. Since I am growing my hair out it's longer then really appropriate for the time period, I considered getting a wig but decided pin curls and the cloche hat should be fine.
Last weekend I went out to 80's night locally, had a blast dancing to 80's music all night. Though if I ever go again it will not be in stiletto heels, my feet were sore after 4 1/2 hrs of dancing in high heels. Like my friend said it is kind of scary I had so much clothes on hand to dress 80's. I found out about an hour before we left and I wore stilettos, leggings, legwarmers, a short petticoat under a short black skirt, a tank top with another shirt over it that hung off from one shoulder, giant hoops, long multiple layered chain and cross necklace and big hair. It was lots of fun and it is looking like a pattern here last Saturday the 1980's and this Saturday 1920's what about next Saturday?? Hmmm maybe I can find something to do that would involve dressing the 1940's or the 1950's... Probably not.
I will leave you with Happy Cinco De Mayo! That is right I'm not above using obscure Mexican battles to bake and celebrate.
