Accomplished in the last two hours:

1) Finished necklace for Sara -- necklace is a repeating pattern as follows:

gold crimp
gold ball
lapis lazuli (deep blue w/ gold flecks) ball
gold ball
gold crimp
dark aventurine (rich green) ball x 9

The necklace has a gold screw-clasp and is long enough that it should hang to about her belly-button. Maybe a little higher, but I'm hoping it'll go all the way.

2) finished matching earrings for Sara: gold crimp, gold ball, aventurine balls x 9, gold ball, lapis lazuli ball, gold ball, gold crimp, gold butterfly charm (they're on the kind of hooks that have a built-in backing -- "kidney backs"? Something like that...)

3) chopped up blue stretch-velvet dress

4) pinned blue stretch-velvet dress

5) begun (but only begun) stitching gathered skirt of dress to bodice. This is a bit tricky, as I'm sewing it while it's inside-out on my body. This dress is a little tricky in and of itself, as the skirt is short enough that, when I bend over, it gets *too* short. Hm. However I don't have any extra fabric, so I shall simply have to give the least amount of hem possible. (Three cheers for strech-velvet! Strictly speaking, I don't have to hem it at all! ;-)


However, regardless of what kind of a hem I eventually give this thing -- before Saturday, that much is certain -- it's time to stop for the evening. Its ten o'clock and I'm already turning into a pumpkin (and have a 6am wake-up time tomorrow). As such, it's time for bed. :-)

Burgers tomorrow evening w/ Ami_B. Woohoo! :-D
