Monday 19th September- as promised my vow to blog more often!!

Hello everyone. Do you like mondays?? I do apart from the mad scramble to find school uniforms, packlunch boxes and homework.....

I love that feeling of the whole week stretching ahead of me with lots of exciting stuff to do. Today I am meeting with the final model for the catwalk show at Hallgarth Hotel this sunday at The Darlington weddings Fayre. Pop along and see me there. Bit nerve racking as I have never attempted to do a catwalk before, I usually just stand by and admire everyone else!! However after lots of pestering from others and folks saying that I should do it I thought what the heck!! ( or words to that affect!!) So I will be doing two sets I think one showcasing my "To order" lines both bespoke and off the peg. The other will be a fabulous chance to show some of my amazing preloved and vintage gowns. I am really excited. Wish me luck- and anyone who has seen the amazing shows put on at the international bridal exhibition- do not expect it to be as slick as that lol!!! I took mey seven year old with me this time and she kept saying "Mummy why are thay sticking their boobies out and walking funny??? AND they are wearing waaaaaaay too uch make up their faces are all shiny !!" When they started doing dance routines she was a little thrown and when the guys starting digging all the moves she wispered "Mummy they are just embarrassing them selves now" So no I will not be attempting any of that- a couple of good tunes and my lovely models some semi proffesional and some just beautiful friends or colleagues- even some ex clients, and if they can make it up and down the catwalk without crowd diving I will be happy!! The gowns and accesories I hope will be stunning enough to speak for themselves.
So a busy week ahead, a 50's dress to complete plus a flower girls dress. In addition to all my regular "Save the Day" appointments and so on. Off now to sew up something lovely- you will see it on sunday.
