Who stole the weekend?

These weekends go so fast it's hard to fit all that needs to be done before Monday morning sneaks up again! Not a lot done here in the way of exersize, I hit a bit of a crisis on Saturday. Dan wanted to go to town, so we went early, the intention was quick in and back. I needed to get on with stuff here and wanted to get out and do a short runwalk.
Of course, we spent longer in town than we intended, no surprize there! I eventually got home and started on completing the dress I'm making for her. I'd more or less done the bodice part I had wanted to make sure it was going to fit her ok so had just tacked it up and fitted it. All well and good, time to cut out the skirt part! Horror of horrors - not enough material! The back and the front were meant to be cut on the fold. I'd checked the pattern when I bought the matierial and bought a small amount extra, so I just couldn't understand it. Back into town I went, it was not my day. The shop had sold the last of the material to a dancing school! I ended up just adapting the pattern so the back of the skirt part now has a seam.
Sunday, I did do a nice brisk hilly walk with the muppets and my mad friend. Gorgeous day, but hot even at 8am. I had to finish this dress and the jewellery she needs it by Thursday, so home and stuck in. at least I didn't have to cook as Dan did, I just turned up with the dress and necklace to do a final fitting. I then spent the evening stitching up the hems and finishing the necklace and earings.

It looks better on her than on the model, and it shimmers beautifully in the light. She is pleased with it.

While I was in the fabric shop, I spotted some "must have" material. This time I'm going to make me a dress ☺
