Whoot!

Met my self challenge goal today (did cardio at the gym, which kicked my ass - met my nutrition goal w/ some nice homemade turkey chili, veggies and rice).

And I even did some sewing too! The bodice of the dress is totally assembled (I think) and I pleated the drape and attached it to the bodice. Tomorrow I'll start work on the skirt, that's what I'm really excited about; things will start to seem like they are really coming together. Damn, there are tons of pieces to this dress!

Related to this, anyone know where I can find a nice but not too expensive Victorian style hat?

Since I have a meeting in Melrose that starts at 7:30 sharp I need to get up a little bit earlier (fun!), so I'm heading to pack things up for tomorrow, set out my clothes for the morning and settle down with a book until I fall asleep.

Goodnight all!

I have a hat you can just have if you are interested. Its in black/cranberry tones and looks almost identical to this one

Oooh, that hat is so pretty!

So why do you *not* want it? Just curious :)

If it fits, I'd love to take it. My dress is a deep purple-blue, so the black and cranberry like color would match well.

I ended up with (2) such hats - one is all black, so I prefer that one and the cranberry one just doesn't go as well with my red hair. I can probably get it out to you over the weekend sometime.....call my cell 617 388-9288 and let me know what your schedule looks like
