oops, i meant to send a PM, sorry everyone

hi i'm interested in your shelving...  half shelves.. if they are still up for free.  i'm willing to pay shipping, i live in portland, oregon.  thanks

wow it's been so long since i've been back on craftster and i can't believe there are 22 pages of amazing comments on here.  thanks every body, i really appreciate all of your support and compliments   all of the dresses you guys have made and posted are really adorable too.  i love how you did your own variations on it to make it your own..  so creative   keep sewing.

hey.. no, the hems not finished.. i'm a bit lazy   it has ruffling along the edges, and the ruffles are unhemmed, but have zig-zag stitching at the edge.

Your dress is so BEAUTIFUL!  I love the colors..  Also love the corset style up the back-- you've got to work around the mess-ups and you did an amazing job of turning it unto a plus.  I'm so happy to see the dress in a new form and in a completely different style   GOOD JOB!!.

hmm ...  my shoes:





you cant see them very well, but these are them.  they were sandal flats with giant green rocks on them.

OOO i have one to add, althought i've never tried it. 

you need two packs of JELL-O (or generic) Vanilla Pudding Mix, one pudding package worth of milk and one pudding package worth of cream, and a box of unsalted crackers. 

mix the pudding mix with the milk and cream, then put down a layer of crackers in a caserole dish.  add a layer of pudding, and then a layer of cracker, etc.  refridgerate, and the next day you have yourself a no-bake cake.  i guess the cream hardens the pudding mix, so it comes out cakey.  if you add powdered coffee it turns out a bit like tiramisu.

don't know if this has already been posted since i havent read through the whole thing yet (lazy me), but--
i work at a preschool and we do texture painting, which is shaving cream + glue + paint..  its the same thing except yours looks fifty times cooler with all the different colours
anyway, i was thinking, if you add glue to it, it might hold shape a bit longer.. or does it actually work with JUST shaving cream and food colouring?

:/ i don't know how much ribbon, but i'd start with 100 total of various trimmings and go from there.  you can always go back to the shop, and even if they dont carry the same ribbon you used, you can always add other kinds.

haha, yes.  i used a serger, since i'm quite lazy and didn't want to bother with hemming it.  i also didn't even bother to change the color of serger thread to match, so since the material is sheer you can see all the seams
