Ladies night was held at Winslow Elementary on April 10th. It was the first show of any kind I had participated in. I haven't felt comfortable doing a traditional "craft fair" because, well, to be honest, since I don't use a glue gun, I don't make jewelry, and I don't cut animal shapes out of wood I've never really felt that a craft fair was the right fit for what I do. Anyway, I decided to try this particular expo because it was going to feature businesses that were geared towards women. They were advertising businesses like Pampered Chef and Creative Memories, so I knew it wasn't going to be a regular craft show. It turned out to be a good experience for me. I made a lot of contacts, had a few sales, and was invited to come back next year. I am glad I finally stepped out of my comfort zone of online sales and word-of-mouth local sales, and tried something different. I will definately be keeping an eye out for more opportunities like this one.
Ahhh, the wedding dress. Sarah was here a few weeks ago so I could take her measurements. Since then I have cut all of my pattern pieces and started laying them out on muslin. I want to do a mock-up just to make sure the fit is right before using bridal fabric. This is the style of dress that she has requested. I think it is beautiful and I am excited to finish the mock-up to see how it looks on her! The wedding is in October, so I have plenty of time to make and alter a mock-up before sewing the finished dress.

I've tried a couple of "backon track" posts. Good luck with the wedding dress. I look forward to seeing the progress.
