Slaving in the Bling Mines!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Next week we fire up the thrusters and get busy on the next batch of projects. These include:

For ourselves/advertising pieces for the business: a poppy red velvet kirtle for Su an Elizabethan redwork shirt for Su an Elizabethan shirt with lace inserts for me

'Stock'/sample pieces for the business: a teal jacquard pirate coat a black cashmere pirate coat a teal taffeta gown a couple of shirts a couple of chemises

Customer projects: a summer dress a dress for a guest to wear fr a wedding a kilt a Dracula cloak in black cashmire, lined with deep plum silk!

And we have a couple of wedding inquiries...

Love, Love, LOVE the pattern of the crystals on the bodice of the poufed dress. And the tiny evening bag and fascinator are marvelous, dahling! Fabulous as always, Kate.

Aw, thank you. :)

We worked very hard on these. While I *could* have done them by my self, I wouldn't have managed them in the time. Having help and encouragement is always good. :D

Yes, isn't she the Queen of Bling? I feel that she should add this title to her sig. :-) Kate, although you must be tired of hearing it by now - you excelled yourself once more.

Thank you. Sea Queen was a great lass to work for. :) So is Nia. I've known her forever...

One of the regular customers told me that I raise the bar every time I do something for her. I joked that we'd soon be suffering from altitude sickness! It's so nice to be appreciated.

Lovely as ever. Terrific job.

Claire in Montréal France.

Thank you. :)

Oh well, it's good that you have a couple little things, just enough to keep your skills fresh. ;)

The green dresses were fantabulous!!! :) I didn't think anyone could make that color green look good, but y'all did --- twice!!!! Great idea putting the crystals on while the bodice was on the dress dummy. Very smart.

Do I want to ask why you borrowed a dog? ;) I'll have an extra one next week too. A friend is going on vacation. Her Scottie will come stay with us while they are gone. Charlie is looking forward to it. He loves Guinevere. My yard will definitely be a squirrel free zone. Sharon

Yeah... ;)

Thank you. :)

Much the same reason. Scamp's people were off in the Dordogne for a couple of weeks, so they dropped her off here on the way past. The GMNT earns 'kennel fees' looking after her while they are gone. She gets on fine with the cats.

Ah now, she better had; cat's claws are far swifter than dog's teeth! Plus, most dogs have something of a hard time when it comes to climbing on trees, fences etc. ;-)

Dang, I've got that 'Working in a Coal Mine' song in my head, with that 'Bling' in it. I wonder what is going to replace it... ;-)
