We would be the best pals. We do the exact same kind of projects. I love to borrow my mom's sewing machine (though I've only sewed pillows and curtains so far) and I love haunting the public library for books. The arm warmers you sewed look straight out of a costume archive. I seriously think you should go into costume design professionally. Maybe you are already? Also, the ribbons on the Rose Caron dress are so beautiful it makes me want to weep!Miss Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251787869799088477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185680427380527859.post-45313364006607416582011-05-23T11:12:44.883+10:002011-05-23T11:12:44.883+10:00Tam...l asked my daughter last night and she tells...Tam...l asked my daughter last night and she tells me she only follows State of Origon and is excited about Wednesday night's match.

Ho...Hi Bron, its a little warmer the last few days. Hope your daughter doesn't freeze in Newy, although it should get as cold overnight as it is on the coast. Does she now follow the Newcastle Knights? That's Carls favourite footy team!<br /><br />Love the arm warmers, they would need to be wool down here though. And the lacy top is really pretty.<br /><br />How gorgeous is the silk...might have to try and find a copy of that book its looks beautiful.<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend also, Tam xA Treasured Pasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230337923349344258noreply@blogger.com
