Having spent the entire summer completely gutting and remodeling my kitchen (Yeah!!!, I'm very happy with all the changes!), I am now happily ensconced in plans and preparations for my younger daughter's wedding in July, 2004.
We have a Vogue bridal gown pattern from 1989 (several sizes ago), which I'm sizing up, and using to prepare muslins. We found _delicious_ embroidered-and-pearl-beaded lace at Fabric Depot during the 40% off sale (thank ghods, as it was $96.00/yard), and lovely duchess satin. She and I just spent four snow-bound days (my place is closer to her work, so she stayed here) working up sketches and revising ideas, so now I'm ready to start to work.
I guess I'm finally going to have a really good excuse to get the digital camera I've been longing for. :-} As the project progresses, I'll try to put up pictures.
I have missed reading this group!
