Today was a busy day
To begin with I had breakfast, which isn’t unusual. Having stayed awake late last night I spent the morning napping and then after lunch I started sewing and cutting out a sort of elvish gown. Before completing it I and Mom left to go to, you guessed it, Walmart to buy some combination locks. I bought four DVD’s for $0.88 each at Walmart and I got a new watch too! At home I finished sewing my dress, and personally I think it is quite impressive. It is a black dress, fairly simple, but it has long flowing white lace sleeves that reach to the floor and are quite interesting. Then I have a white and gold trim around the top which really enhances the gown. Hopefully soon I will do a movie and feature the gown. It has a very long train.
This evening we went to the YMCA and tested it. I was rather tired when we came back but it wasn’t too bad there and it was a whole lot better than walking around our neighborhood. So I’ve had a pretty busy day and now I’m tired. My new dress is very nice in my opinion. I think it’s a bit Elvish, like something Arwen would have worn in the Lord of the Rings movie. It definitely isn’t bad for a dress with a net total of $7.00 for the materials to make it. I tried a new design with the dress and it turned out very well, though I can see places for improvements and I’ll probably do another dress soon and use my newly acquired knowledge to improve the design.
