WHATTAWEEK!!!

We've had the Rock's wonderful grandfather come to stay with us this week, it's been an absolute pleasure and on his final night with us he made home made hamburgers :) Legend!! A true historian, he entertained us with stories he's learned of his extended family and about things from the 1st and 2nd World Wars that we didn't know. I managed to get some snaps of him with Firecracker so will post them once I've had the film developed. You don't get to say that very often these day lol!

To add to the festivities I've been trying to write an essay on gender stereotyping. There's a lot of info out there and the word limit is pretty small so I've spent most of my time trying to cut it down. UGH!!

I also received a copy of The Help, I've not seen it yet but have only heard good things so I can't wait to watch it (and last night's Go Girls episode) after I finish my essay lol! And I'm about to reconstruct a silk dress...it's one with long ties at the sides that cross over the bust but the shoulder straps are too skinny so I'm going to sew in the cross over part, cut the excess and use it to make new wide straps. I'll defo post pictures throughout.

The most important news this week is the up and coming wedding of a dear friend and her equally dear fiancee :) Love them to pieces so it's going to be a 'bring your tissues and waterproof mascara' wedding. Firecracker has the honor of playing Flower-girl and I can't wait to see her a dressed up! When the Bride gives the 'ok' I'll put up some of those pics too. Very Excite!!

Better scootch, so much to do and so little time!! :)
Keep shining xxx
