I'll be spending the evening and most of tomorrow in the sewing cave, my Vogue pattern arrived and I'd like to have a new dress before the weekend is over!!!
...as always more later!
Looks like a great night was had by all. We celebrated the great PR on the other side of the world too. We all were having a great time "together"
