No clever title, just progress!

I don't have pictures, yet, but I thought I'd update on my current progress:

Melanie's Outfit #1 75% Completed
Tonight I got the corset to the point where all I have left to do is the boning, setting the eyelets, binding and finishing. Yay! I need to work some more on the bodice and the sleeves and then it will be complete! Some of the progress is halted because I need to get ahold of some more $$ so I can purchase a few more materials to finish it. My goal is to have it in the mail for her by the 20th, :)

After I complete Miss Melanie's outfit, it looks like I'll have a wedding dress and at least two corsets that are definate (hopefully anyway!) orders. I will be taking on a few more possibly, some in trade, as well. Yay for being busy!

But unfortunately, its not busy enough to bring in enough $$$ to support the household. So I am going to resubmit my application to JoAnn's for a full time, open availability position. I'll have to do some figuring out for child care, but, we need money to survive and raise a baby girl. And the discount will help me in my clothing design adventures.
