It's been a while since I've posted, I've been busy and discouraged. The Vogue dress is terrible. A complete wadder. I saved it to reuse the fabric, maybe for a tee-shirt, but the dress is total crap. Looks like a poor relation of a twenty's flapper dress or the Walton's gone awry. Next I tried a shirt to work with my blue suit, but the back is too tight and I messed up the hem. I may try to take out the sleeves (and they look so nice) and just face them to have a shell. Oh well. If removing the sleeves doesn't help, then it's to the lining bin for this.
In the meantime I took a trip to Vegas, found an apartment, and collect a pathetic $4K from my cousins. Also started my taxes, it doesn't look good. We stayed at the Paris in Vegas, it was nice. Great to be at that end of the strip, very convenient. We've always stayed down MGM/Luxor way before and that's a hike up to shopping, etc. Now its time to get ready to move. On the 15th, and Warren's in Guam until the 13th. I'm going to Little Rock on Wednesday and the AirForce Ball on Saturday. Maybe find some cool stuff at the silent auction. Looking for some silk, maybe or a cool piece of furniture. I'll have a sewing room when we move, looking forward to that, will move the ironing board in there, out of my bedroom, and speed up the sewing without all the running up and down the stairs. Bought furniture a couple of weeks ago. Sure hope it gets delivered on time. It has the potential to really suck if it doesn't. We're going to Ikea next Friday and get some stuff and put it on the truck and just leave it there until Saturday.
