And you did a great job with the cookies! I can’t believe it was only your second time – they look quite professional.

I made my wedding dress… We’re generations of seamstresses in the family, my grandmother actually was quite famous for her sewing, and I was lucky enough to inherit a few of her skills, though not all. My aunt did both of my cousins’ wedding dresses as well. Mine was quite simple, we were pretty broke at the time, so I made an empire waist dress, off the shoulders, gathered neckline, slightly flared at the ankles, floor length. I wore it with long gloves. I had no veil, we couldn’t afford one, we also had no party, no favors, and I cooked dinner!! I actually modified the dress and fitted it for a another poor bride a few months later. Recycling at its best

What do you use to decorate the cookies? Also, when I paint details, and I can’t have a shaky hand, I find it useful to have a two-level table: I rest my arm on the upper ledge, and put the item on the lower ledge a few inches down, and avoid the shaky “freehand”. Maybe that would work for you?

The pics are incredible!!!

I have no clue what I want my dress to look like – but I do know what I DONT like. I’ll keep those comments to myself. My older sister just sent me a pic of her future gown yesterday! She’s getting married in october – the dress is amazing – totally unexpected. Sweetheart neckline, strapless, slightly ruched to the mid-hip and then a slight mermaid. So pretty!
