Gala Gown: Wrap Up



A few people noticed that my clutch disappeared from the final photos of my Gala Gown.


Well, with the limited picture taking time, and a capelet to remove and put on again and again, I did not get that many pictures while holding the darn thing!  Whoops!


But I really did take it with me; and it was large enough to hold my (less than fabulous) camera, which was very helpful.


By the way, the theme for the Gala was Carnivale Italiano.  Although I never had any specific intentions of matching the theme, I think it all worked out quite nicely.


There were sequined masks and peacock feathers as centerpieces.  I have to laugh at what magpies women can be - as soon as someone announced that everyone was welcome to take the decorations home, we all swooped in.  No one else seemed to be interested in the peacock feathers, so I took a gaggle of them with me.  I feel a project coming on . . .


And if you missed anything, here is what I have been doing for the past month! 



Now that I have stepped back from the project for a few days, I am wondering how I never managed to finish in time!?  It has been an incredible journey.


Thank you for all of your beautiful comments - it really is wonderful to feel appreciated!
