Wedding Gown and Bridesmaid Dress

I've jabbered on about my outfit, but here are:

The Bridesmaid's dress overall it's a pretty conservative design, but that neckline plunge is deep! Guess where the modesty panel will be inserted? Thaaat's right!

Kim & I discussed wraps last night and agreed we'd try to make some. In the bridesmaid dress chiffon if possible, in white chiffon if not. I checked the After Six website and the chiffon is available! For $70 a yard! Not! I'm going to Jojos to check out their fancy sheers. A wrap is just a rectangle of fabric after all, and don't I have a fancy new serger that does rolled hems on sheers? You bet I do!

Sock Monkey Tutorial

Still got sock-monkeys on my mind. I found a step-by-step picture tutorial to make them. I would embroider the eyes so they'd be safe for the little ones.

Blogspot has just launched Blogger Images to make it easy to include images in our posts. I shall test this by uploading an image of my niece: It works! Wahoo! In the olden times (last week) we Blogspotters had to use Hello from Picasa, which is a free picture instant-messaging software that worked well for me at home, but I couldn't get it running at work (maybe it was God telling me to get off the blog and do my job). Goodbye Hello , and hello Blogger Images . Thanks, Blogger !

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
