That has been my latest project. Pictures of me in the dang thing aren't that great, but at least I got into it :-) It needs some weight loss on my part for me to be able to breathe comfortably, but....I knew I needed to lose weight anyway. Total yardage used in this dress (not counting ribbons and lace) = 35.75 yards!! Beads on the bodice: 350!!



Brain cells lost...uh......number of times stuck in extremely painful places by pins...WAY too many to count!!



Larisa, ready to tackle the stained glass banners again...they are a breeze compared to this dress!!

You know, for all the work done and the lovely outcome, you oughta be smilin' in those pics. Seriously, very amazing work. I'm so impressed by the ability to create clothing. And this goes way beyond normal clothing.

Wow.

fabric stash reduction contest, not anything in particular. However, a dear friend reminded me that our church does it's halloween alternative every year and that I could always wear it to that. Plus, I'm really hoping to getback to the MD Renaissance Festival, so......

Would have been smiling, but it was late, I was tired, and I could hardly breathe. Besides, DH was being a pain in the butt.....for some reason, it was more important to watch History channel about last fall's auction of Star Trek memorabilia....whatever. Basically, once those pics were done and I was back in PJs, I went to bed

Lovely, Larisa, and you look great in it! What occasion is it for?

You are indeed very talented. Good luck with your submission Larissa.

Wow!! 35 yards!!! But it's gorgeous. I love the color and beadwork.

I personally think you're nuts Larisa. (VBG)

i do believe King Pecans is the correct terminology. :) but then i understand adhd is like that sometimes. i dont really know tho. just kidding, gorgeous dress and you really should'a been smiling i reckon. jeanne

But, we knew that. ;-) And most of the rest of us also are.

Well..I'll go even further to reveal what I do for "relaxation".....jigsaw puzzles!! I'm currently working on one that is

550 pieces...already about 1/3 finished with it...taking sit breaks, where I just sit and stretch and zone out listening to music, walking breaks, and standing breaks...my butt gets numb if I sit for too long...lol....so yep, just like y'all knew, I'm definitely nuts
