the weekend!

huzzah!! it's friday! aaand, monday is a bank holiday, so it's a 3 day weekend :D
i haven't quite finished the white dress, i need boning to make the belt (horrid plastic stuff, but it's only for school) so this morning i charged on with the first flapper dress, a cream day dress, made of lycra jersey for the bodice, for ease of making and comfort, and satin with a chiffon overlayer for the skirt and sleeves. the neckline band was a right pain in the but, i've made a V front and back, and for some reason the points just wouldn't work :( it was a bit of a mess in the end, even after spending about half an hour trying to make it work, so once it was finally firmly attached i gave up, and i'll stick a bow on to cover it up! plus no one will see anything on stage anyway, but i know it's there :)
we're going to see if we can get to any dog rescue places this weekend, we need someone to love, and he or she can teach the new puppy how to behave. i'm still going to get a puppy this summer, but clare wants her own doggy, so... puppy cuddles! (yes they are still puppy cuddles, even if said puppy is an 18 year old, blind and deaf old lady!!)
