Re: (...)
So I haven't been around much the last few weeks, and this is why....
Finally ready for final fitting and hemming, I've forgotton how long it takes to make a dress that takes a total of 25 yards of fabric.. (It's the flower girl's dress, I had to hand pleat all that fabric because I couldn't find it commercially)
Now, I can get back to cooking.

Wow! You are multi-talented for sure. Please post photos of the flower girl in it, too.

WOW!!!
That dress is absolutely luscious. Part of me misses doing that kind of stuff. I can truly appreciate the amount of work that went into that!

Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

I don't sew as much as I used to and sometimes miss it also, although I never made anything quite like that, PJ. You do beautiful work! Sorry to be so forgetful, but when is the wedding again? Be sure to post pics!

I have always believed it takes years, a mother, a grandmother, a designer, an artist, a chef, a color cordinator, a makeup expert, someone with a Phd in Janitorial Studies, and a counselor, in addition to regular school and eduction to create a woman. When do you all sleep? You make my point. It's easy being a man.

What a beautiful dress! Great work PJ.
I must second Bill and Billy's comments and throw in my own...of course it takes all of those things to create a woman...a woman may someday become a Mom and need to perform ALL of those duties and more.
Kind of makes you wonder why we don't do Mother's Day once a week at the least...

PJ! All that and more! I love the guys comments! AMEN!
Now that I feel totally inadequate.....LOL! Just kidding!
Look forward to you getting back to cooking though!
Can't wait to see the pics of the whole thing. I didn't remember you having a daughter getting married though...HMMMM? CRS is soooo catchy! So many goings on this summer!
Now put us all out of our misery and give us the details ONE MORE TIME....LOL!
