There were a few more bodice fittings, but those pictures are pretty boring, so here are some pictures of the lace being appliqued to the bodice. A bodice can be made out of solid lace fabric, but appliqueing the lace on this way hides all the seams and makes for a gorgeous finished look.
I've been hard at work on Cassie's wedding dress...and as her wedding is this Saturday, I thought it'd be safe to post some more "in progress" photos, as her future husband will be seeing the finished product in just a few days. There were a few more bodice fittings, but those pictures are pretty boring, so here are some pictures of the lace being appliqued to the bodice. A bodice can be made out of solid lace fabric, but appliqueing the lace on this way hides all the seams and makes for a gorgeous finished look. Just the middle section completed. Placing all the pieces of lace is kind of like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Carefully sewing each piece of lace to the bodice, careful to avoid all the beads and pearls! The lace on the bodice, nearly complete. One of the final bodice fittings before the skirt was attached and the zipper sewn in. Isn't it gorgeous!? Stay tuned for more on Cassie's wedding dress!

There are a lot of things I like about Halloween: - Fun size Twix - Fun size Skittles - Fun size Kit Kat - Any Candy (this is obviously a big one for me) - Caramel Apples (fruit with candy coating) :) There are also a lot of things I don't like about Halloween: - Cold weather (The addition of a coat or 8 layers of thermal underwear always ruined my costumes as a kid) - General scariness - Scary things - Being scared But these pumpkin pictures from Martha Stewart gave me something new to love about Halloween!! Who can resist cute animals made from pumpkins!!! These are so much more creative than my usual jack-o-lantern with triangle eyes and nose! They're pumpkin artwork! I guess I have something to aspire to next year! Images via Martha Stewart.
Speaking of baking a cake, how cool is this stackable bakeware from Scandinavian designer Christian Bjørn!? I love it! Freezer to oven to table. Sleek, modern, and oh-so-practical! Images via A + R Store
I am an audiobook addict. I listen to them when I'm sewing, cleaning house, driving, decorating, whatever, whenever.
I've been reading the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. I'm on number eleven. Let me tell you, Stephanie Plum talks about cake. A lot. So I am baking one right now. I was cleaning in the kitchen, putting together the pantry, and somehow I accidentally started baking a cake. Does this happen to you? You're reading something or watching something on TV and it gets to you like this? (Cheetos commercials work on me as well.) Every time Stephanie mentions cake, I feel like I just have to have a piece! When it's done, I'll be sure to tell you how it was. (Cake is inspirational, right??) For a while now I've been dreaming of the idea of having a lovely little round pedestal accent table in my living room. It would be a place where my guests could set their drinks (I think it's very important that everyone have an easy place to set their drink) and its lovely, curvy lines would be a nice little contrast to the mostly clean, somewhat masculine lines of our living room. I haven't yet quite found the place or the table to make my dream come true, and I'll admit that I'm a bit nervous for the actual feasibility of such a lovely little table with two rambunctious dogs always in the living room (there's no point to a nice place to set your drink if some dogs will come along and just knock it off), but I'm working on it. And after seeing some of these tables, I think I will have to work harder on making this table happen! My first love. I think this one was from Ballard a few years ago, but I can't seem to verify that. I had just saved the picture without a source. If you know where it's from for sure, let me know! My reason for posting this morning: Martini side table from West Elm. I just love how they styled it in this room: Another yummy from West Elm. I think I'd prefer it in a fun color, though. What do you think? Too dangerous with the dogs around? Or should I just make it work? :) I am so in love with that Martini side table at the moment...
Super yum! I spotted these curtains today at Anthropologie's website. I love their uniqueness and great, artistic way of showing off lots and lots of patterns and fabrics, and I love how the whole thing is bordered and brought together by the bold stripes down the sides. I wonder what else I could translate this idea to? Wouldn't it be a great way to use up fabric scraps? Pillows? Wall hangings? Dress? Images via Anthropologie
I'm sorry, I just have to post this. It has nothing to do with fashion or design at all...it's just a cute puppy. Too cute a puppy. :) Image via RealSimple.
I'm a bad blogger, but I'm working on it, I really am. I am a sucker for anything dog. DailyDivaDish posted about pooches that make their way into fashion shoots, recently, so I thought, why not post these pics? Here are a couple images from OneKingsLane that I loved, and then a pic from Elle Decor...I loved the room, and it didn't hurt that there was a dog in it! :) Okay, okay...so what if I pay more attention to the dog than the rest of the picture?? I can't help it! I love these patterns and prints...but I really love the pup! Don't I wish my dog lived in this? Instead of his dirty old bed :) I love this large dining room! Too bad my dog (and dining area) are not nearly this photogenic. :)
