Posted - Mar 20 2008 : 09:23:48 AMyes i am meeting elizabeth at the asheville one..so i picked out a 10c underdress and an apron dress to go over it. I am trying to find a fun wool type material to make the apron dress out of. I need to go sweet talk tribalcime(Lisa) into helping me make the jewelry part that goes across the front and I am hunting around for 2 silver brooches for the straps. And as usual is mine goes well then I will make em for all the chilluns. :)
