busy weekend

This weekend is going to be full of events. Saturday I'm off and get to run errands, and possibly go to a farm down south to pick fruits and veggies. Sunday david and I are doing an official engagement photoshoot with out lovely friend Janette from Terribly Girly Photography. I'm super stoked about the photo shoot. I'm probably going to be really nervous seeing as I've never done a professional photoshoot before, aside from yearbook pictures. After the photo session, I get to go to a second bridal shower/mad hatter tea party, all dolled up with hair and makeup. The dress I'm wearing to the tea party and possibly to the photoshoot, is special. It's a dress David's mom made for her senior prom in the seventies. We found it in storage while looking for her wedding dress, and right away I saw it and said, "if this fits me, I want to wear it for something wedding related." Davids mom was excited I had taken an interest in her handmade prom dress.
So we washed it up, got rid of the stains, and I tried it on again. We came to the conclusion that it would probably look better a lot shorter. It was a long dress to start. we took it to get altered, and this is what happened.

I will post pictures of the completed dress after sunday's bridal shower.

Excuse my terrible posture.










 

 



































I'm thinking I may have like the length better below the knees rather than above the knees. UGGHHH!!! It all happened so fast! Hopefully it will look fine above the knee.
