Thanks Jacquie for your kind and encouraging words. I AM doing a happy dance tonight as the dresses are officially FINISHED!!!!! My dance was dampened though as our dog was attacked tonight (the 2nd time by the same dog!) and she's hurting. We've talked to the vet numerous times tonight and we're just letting her rest tonight and take her in the morning. She has two noticeable puncture wounds (one on her upper leg and this is causing her to limp) and her eyes are soooo sad. I hope she's better in the morning. Tomorrow our daughter, son-in-law and baby granddaughter are flying in from Phoenix so I'm looking for a brighter day and some sewing time that is fun!!!!
