Mornin' friends :-)

I am up super early today - I have to babysit my Mum's two dogs while the council builders install ramps, rails etc for my Granny. I have to make sure the builders don't let them out!

Good morning all, and, Magenta, how did the house/dog sitting go? Did the builders let them out/created an almight mess?

Hi K...

@ John... as it turned out Mum created a temporary fence in the backyard. Storm (Greyhound) and Che (Basenji) just stayed outside all day - VERY UNUSUAL!

Nearly bedtime...

I just got home from finishing the Deb dress at the girl's house. It looks lovely, but I forgot my camera - she is going to give me a photo from her deb, which I will post for you all :-)

Are you still nervous about the dress Magenta, now the making is complete?

Not at all, John.

Stevie loved it, and it really fit her well. Her mum and sisters liked it heaps as well. I am glad I gave it a go - being something I had never done before - I was quite out of my comfort zone, but it turned out really good! I really try to test myself by making things I don't really think I'll be able to....because I do really want to keep getting better.

Also, it felt really good to help her out. Lots of deb dresses are around $1000, which is fine when your parents are paying. Stevie had to pay for half of it herself with her mum and dad paying the other half. She could not have afforded to pay $500 out of her part time after school job money. Because I had never made an evening dress, am not really 'professional' yet, and because she's a friend, I tried to be really reasonable in the amount I charged to make the dress. I got enough that I didn't feel 'used' or taken advantage of, but not enough to make it beyond her ability to afford, or to be taking advantage of her.

A win/win situation all round!


...I am really glad its finished though :-)

Good evening all. Just got home from Sacramento for my daughter's Dr appointment. All is well with her legs. Another appointment in 6 months. :-)

---

Glad to hear your daughter's appointment went well, Jeremy :-)

Good to hear for both of you! Jeremy and Magenta (if in doubt)
