So Friday night, I cleaned the carpets. ALL of the carpets on the main floor. I wanted them to have a night to dry before Saturday and they looked mahvelous...
Saturday morning I worked on the house. all. day. Now that the tree was down I was finding all sorts of little surprises that had been awaiting for me to find them. Like a Mt. Dew can that had been placed behind the big butt chair on a window sill and knocked over. Yep, a month of Dew was dried into the window sill and down the wall. YUCK.
But anyway, you don't want to hear about my cleaning... which I will compare to a Wonder Woman marathon, but I digress...
You want to hear about the dress! It looked gorgeous. And according to Bonnie (Hi Bonnie!) she was surprised that it did because she thought my pic of it with just the little lace sample on it looked terrible. And in looking back at that picture, I should have mentioned to use a lot of imagination! :)
The kids (and parents) had a blast at the dinner. All the parents brought food, so we served chicken cacciatore w/rice, lasagna, salad, garlic bread, lots of desserts... I'm still stuffed. The 10 young people got the dining room table with the china while the rest of us used Corelle-ware and mismatched silverware and ate on the couches. The kids ate in style.
I had such a good time getting to know some of the parents that I'd never really talked to before. We need to have a get together for just the parents some time...
Then we moved some furniture around in the livingroom to make room for group and individual couple picture taking. The kids got quite creative with their poses... Enjoy!
Oh but before I do... Got to tell you something funny! At the dance, Maddy saw a friend of hers in the exact dress that she'd tried on at the store and that she'd designed this dress to look like and told the girl that. Maddy liked her own dress so much better but didn't mention that to the friend... Cool! I love that she loves her dress!
Original dress that we used for the design model.
Our version of the dress... oh and Maddy and her date...
Looking back now, there are some things I'd probably do differently when sewing this dress, but she's happy with it so I'm happy!

The dress turned gorgeous! And it looked like the kids had a wonderful time at your house.
Why did you do all the cleaning, when you have kids????
I'm with Frances, I would have put the kids to work....that's why you have em, right?lolol
And once again, you have raised the bar of motherhood and we'll all be playing catch up...;-)
I seem to remember that there was a challenge a few seasons back on "That Show That Shall Not Be Named"...one of the designers did a white with black sheer overall and black dress and won that week. Your dress reminds me of their creation.
Maybe it's time to apply for a spot on the next season, Hmmm?!?
I love her dress! It turned out great. I like it better than the one it was modeled after. :)
