Um, so, it's way past my bedtime, but my reticule is finished :D I want to get some white silk ribbon for the ties, but this pale pink organza will do for now.

This one shows Emmy's portrait better. In't it lovely!?

The colour of the taffeta is much better with the flash, this silk has been used sooo many times!!!!! (see icon for an example!!)
Now I MUST get on with my dress tomorrow!! But, um, I may have to fit in some baking ;)

Um, I got distracted today :D I wanted a reticule and asked Clare to paint me a lozenge to go on it, I was working on my 1820s bodice - the sleeves are set in and I'm half way through sewing the waistband on - while she was painting a picture of the puppy for me. As soon as she finished I HAD to use it! So now I have the embroidery for my new reticule all done ready to be made up!!

The Puppy had a hair cut today, so she was looking at her absolute best when we took the photos for Clare to work from. The little spangles are gold, and the big ones silver, although it's quite hard to tell in the photos!!! The points will all have a tassel, and I'll use the same thread to make the drawstrings.
