I never thought I'd finish this one

Do you know I can't remember when I actually started this blanket

but it feels like a long time ago.

I must check my archives to see.....but yayyyyyy its done now

& in situ in my bedroom.

I have to say it most def is NOT my fav, guess I'm just glad I'm done 

with it....here's a few peeks

I like it here on the back of my bed,

feels restful & dreamy & matches the colours there.

Isn't it so satisfying to have your own makes around the house

makes it all so personal & imperfect in the nicest way!!!!

So whats next.......I'm thinking a nice shawl.

Have two weddings coming up & would love a dreamy soft feminine 

wrap to wear with the dresses I have for them.

If anyone knows some good pattern links I'd sure would

be grateful.

First dress fittings today, always make up a trial top of the dress

in some cheap fabric first to make sure of the fit (learnt that in college,

my technical tutor was a stickler for a perfect fit).

Old habits die hard I think.

Its always funny though to see the reaction of the wearer....

IS THIS MY DRESS!!!!!!!

& I have to reassure them that I know it looks like 

nothing & not to get excited....but the REAL dress will

actually look like a dress!!!!

The first one has to be done by this time next week, the 

Bride is from Latvia & her sister is here for another week 

sooooooooo dress number one coming up fast.

Anyway the weekend is here & I have friends 

coming for dinner tomorrow, desserts need to be 

made, veggies have to be peeled & chopped, plus 

I promised a nice pasta dish for dinner today, fresh tomatoes & herbs

are waiting to be thrown together

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend

Lots of love Karen xxxx
