holiday, balls and CC

well, we're off on holiday on friday|! we go to stay with my aunt in friday, then on the plane on saturday, then spend many wonderful days shopping! we fly back on thursday, get in on friday to stay another night with my aunt, then home in time for gemma's birhtday, wow, we pack a lot in :)
then, when we get back i have some mad sewing to do! i found out there's a charity victorian ball in seagrave (where gemma lives) in november! i have no idea if it'll be any good, but, it's a chance to dress up!! i really need to get on with my ball gown now though :) and i need to adapt something for mummy to wear. clares busy that weekend, but that's probably a good thing, i won't need to make anything for her too :)
i have been sewing lots this week, way to go me! making some clothes for new york, all of my t shirts have shrunk vertically, they don't meet my jeans, and it gets cold :)
bad news though, the masked ball is officially cancelled :( maybe a good thing though? i doubt i'd have had time to make all our outfits while trying to move house :) maybe they'll manage to resurrect it next year though, fingers crossed :p
also, i may be going to CC next year!!!! more later when i hear more myself :)
must go now, the puppy is yelling the house down trying to get me to play with her!
