sewing continues apace

mandie_rwMore slowly than last weekend, as I had Stuff To Do on Friday (including Professional Development that will take a chunk out of my next five Fridays, barf. I get paid but STILL). Also "toured" our probable wedding venue - I put that in quotes because it was "hey, go upstairs and look around and see what you think." Ballroom in the community center - not particularly scenic, but big enough and reasonably priced. It's a good thing my sister's taken on the wedding planner role, because I really can't be bothered about all the stupid little details for a wedding!
(That sounds sort of bad? I do in fact care very much about getting married! I just don't care that much about the party. I know there has to be more of a plan than "hey, people, just show up", but whateverrrrr. I think I've put more effort into costume events, LOL. Very glad Sis genuinely enjoys this kind of shit.)
Did manage to sew the neckline trim on, and pleat up and sew on most of the skirt. Front is entirely attached, back is half sewn, with the rest pinned. Decided I was tired of stabbing myself with pins and poking through several layers of tightly-woven fabric, and put it away for Next Weekend.
Have been hit by the Plotting Inspiration Monster for a new random project but will post about that separately. ;)
Lili continues to be a toe-biter in bed in the mornings, bad thing. She makes up for it by peeping at us in the most adorable manner. She's also gotten nosy enough to come say hello if you don't make sure the bathroom door latches. Ferdinand is still a weenie, but relatively much less of a weenie - he and Lili fight over who gets to sit in Tom's computer chair when he's not sitting it it, and it's very entertaining. They both really don't fit but like to think they do.

(Now she's sitting on the sofa arm watching me type this. She KNOWS I'm talking about her!)
Ugh, it's SO dumb, I really do not give a crap about 95% of it! Married, party, that's it! Mom and sis are definitely more invested in making it a Thing than I am...oh well, as long as everybody's happy and we don't have to shell out too much cash!
