This morning once I was done with the finger printing my mind start to cooking. To drive to Manhattan from my house is about a 2 hour trip but from where I was in Elizabeth it was about 20 minutes. I can so easily loss track of time when I shop for fabric. There is just store after store of everything that you could possible need to make just about anything.
These are some of the laces that I purchased today.
Here are 2 of the fabrics that I may use for the shirt of the gown.

Love the fabric. Beautiful. I cannot wait to see the final dress.
Glad your passport arrived and sorry to hear about your sister's SIL. I hope she is doing better.
Getting excited about Monday!
The fabric is very pretty and I'm sure the Christining gown will look even more beautiful!! My cousin Lisa is into project runway and said she's shopped at the fabric stores in NY too.
Gorgeous fabrics - and I love the shot of you at Mood! I LOVE that show too - and how cool that you were there!!
Praying for your SIL... please give updates when you can. So excited for your trip this week!
Hi Joy,
Your sister-in law is in my prayers- I hope she is doing better.
There is nothing I love more than fabrics. When I worked in the city I used to go to many of the fabric stores and sample sales- I miss that!! I am sure that dress is going to be absolutely beautiful!!!
I can't believe your trip is coming up this week! This is so exciting!
What beautiful fabrics! And yes, I love Project Runway too. My husband can't stand it but he watches with me anyway. I am so glad everything is falling into place for you. My thoughts will be with you as you travel there. It can be a tough trip but it is so worth it.

GORGEOUS! Can't wait to see the new dress!!!
Keeping your sister's family in my prayers. That sounds like a very serious and painful surgery. Goodness.
Sooooo happy for you!!!!
I love that show! Great fabrics. Are you going to wait until you have a court date to make it? Can't wait to see it.
Gorgeous fabrics! No doubt it will be a beautiful christening dress.
I hope your sister-in-law is doing better. She's in my thoughts.
Can't believe you finally get to leave soon--YEAH!!!
Hi Joy!
I'm so jealous--such lovely fabrics and such a fun place to go shopping. When I was in Chicago, we had an amazing place, but not so much here out in the middle of MO. I can't wait to see the finished project.
In answer to your question---online classes are ok--I totally understand the need for them and how they can be very handy for people. But I really MISS the face to face part of in the classroom. Too much a social person, I guess. I have learned a lot teaching online, and I like the flexibility of being able to teach in my jammies, but they also seem to be more work for the teacher than a seated class. I'm glad that you've liked yours--what kinds of classes have you taken?
Oh my goodness, I love that show. Rich does this great imitation of Tim Gunn "designers."
The lace is so beautiful and will be so precious. I think I would have driven to Manhattan (being that close) also.
Do you know if you will have internet access next week in Russia? I hope so!!
Beautiful! I'm so jealous.
That will be one lovely gown!
I am so excited that are leaving to go meet your lil banana!!!!
