The wedding dress!

So, remember how I posted about making a wedding for a friend several months ago? Well, due to some delays in getting the fabric and my busy schedule, I ended up doing all the sewing about two weeks before the wedding. I was in such a hurry to get it done that I didn't take any process pictures, but I finished it with time to spare and it came out beautifully if I do say so myself!

Here are some pictures of the dress on the day of the wedding.





This one is a little blurry, but it seems to be the only picture I got of the dress from front.

I am back!

Whew! Life has been busy, but good since I last posted. I got a new (to me) car, lots of family came to visit, and the biggest event of my summer- my puppet show of the Pied Piper of Hamelin! The show was very well received, and we are looking forward to performing it again soon.

Here is one picture of the puppets from the show. Please do check out our puppet blog too. It is all set up now, and I posted pictures of the whole puppet making process!



Now that the show is complete and I have had a little bit of time to relax, I am getting really excited about fall. I still have a few weeks until I start back up teaching this fall, though, which is good news since I still have a wedding dress to make! I will be going fabric shopping later this week, so look for my first dress making post sometime next week. Hopefully I will have some garden update pictures too, we got several tomatoes already, but there are lots of green ones still!
