Where does the time go?

I've been very busy since starting my Tailoring City and Guilds course. There aren't enough hours in my day now.  I've enjoyed every minute and have learn a  lot of new things which is exciting. There will be some photos of my work next time.

Sophie was 21 earlier this month and I've been finishing her dress ready for the party on 21st.
We started with a commercial pattern back in November, we toiled it and made some adjustment at Christmas and she came to my house at the beginning of the month for a final fitting and it looked good then.  She was delighted with the finished dress.  I think my next challenge might just be another but more important dress!!

The last time I did this was 32 years ago!

When I arrived at my sister's for the party she had not iced the cake. Together we set out to do it and as the last cake I iced was my sister's wedding cake, I don't think it was too bad a job!  I did not realised my hands could shake so much.

Admiring our work, I iced, Yvonne mixed the icing, put on the ribbon and added the musical  notes.

Happy Birthday
