I am making a wedding dress!
Hey yall! Sorry I haven't posted lately. Last weekend I went and took care of my grandma from Friday to Monday so I was gone and then during the week I have been making another niece a wedding dress. This will be the second one I have ever made. The first one was for her sister 5 years ago and it was alot easier to make. This pattern had like 23 pieces and most of them I have to cut out in 3 layers! I have been going to my mom's to do it because she has a serger and an extra bedroom to lay everything out. Then at night I just come home and I can leave it all out and not have to worry about my cat's having a field day with it! Anyway I think the dress will be really pretty! She is having a Valentine's day wedding and I am gonna make her cake as well. I think we decided on Chocolate interlocking hearts for the groom's cake and we are not sure if the bride's will have 3 or 4 tiers yet or not, but it will have pink and red roses to go with the valentine's day theme. It should be pretty! Anywho, don't have much else to post and prolly won't for a while as I will be busy! So, keep up with all the great blogging everyone and I will try to get in a shout out or two if I get a chance! Blessings to you all! Larlie!

My new celtic blogskin!
Hey fellow bloggers! Well I think I really like this blogskin! Seems to be well received by ya'll too! And KT I am still figuring out how to get a dancing leprechan on here! My friend Andy is helping me out with how to put a picture on this thing. I wished I had all his computer knowledge! And he's a fellow "new yaaker" too! Well I guess since everyone else seems to be doing a 100 things about me list I will follow the trend and make one too! Texas just posted his so check it out if you haven't! And Alicia already has her list and will be posting it soon! Well not much else going on around here except the rain! Although since the twins borrowed LOTR volumes 1 & 2 extended versions on DVD they will keep us occupied for a little while! We have only seen the first one so we wanted to watch 1 & 2 before we see ROTK! But with all ya'lls rave reviews we can't wait! BTW - Anna I think your hair looks great the color it is! Green is okay for eggs and ham (j/k) not for hair! LOL Well this is Larlie signing out ~~~~~~~~~`
