What a lovely bride -- & so appropriate that Dotty got it in time for her daughter's party! So sweet!
Miriam, I hope there's another 8-year-old who would like to swap with your granddaughter. As a former GS leader (twice -- years apart), I always encouraged the girls to do crafty things!

Betty what an eye for design, color - just wonderful. Steampunk Sue - of course...genius! I turned my laptop upside down to examine it all before I saw the other pics; and enjoyed them as well, thanks for the closeup. Just magnificent.
Miriam, thank you so much for volunteering to be my partner this month...I was thrilled to get your PC #3 - you really put yourself through the paces - and the little touches are wonderful. I adore it!
My PC is enroute to you finally ... whew.
Folks, you can't see it here but the border with the measuring tape folds over to the other side and reads "Beauty Begins In The Bathroom" hahahahaha --- I've always wanted a dress form, don't really have room for one, so this is the perfect size for me. Also reminds me to get started on the dress I've planned to sew for myself for a couple of weddings this summer.

Miriam, another winner! I just love your vintage touches. I know what I will be looking for at flea markets and garage sales from now on. I just love the used and re -purposed items you used for this theme. Great job! I will mark my received list.

Thank you Betty. I love the work you do. What machine do you use for that. Do you program something or do you o freehand?
Note the little tatted doily on K-roll's PC Isn't it neat? I just had to use it for something. Even the V came out of old sewing stuff. I had planned to use a button but I liked the V better. The disk with a number on the dress form came out of a drawer and I just had to make it work, too.

Miriam you and Betty J have made some really wonderful steam punk fabric post cards.
I am like Judy now that if I am at thrift stores I will be adding some more things in my imagination for what I might find.
I sure miss being in this one, but that's life.
