Happy, Happy Friday!! I cannot believe that February is almost over.

1- Collecting Addresses. Thank goodness for Facebook! At first I wondered if it was rude to ask for people’s addresses via FB but then I realized it is the easiest, least intrusive way. But I have a lot of addresses to ask for, so it has been a task!

2- Calligraphy. I am wanting to learn to do the wedding invitations. Now, if I don’t manage to do it and anyone reading this receives an invitation without it- it is okay But I do think it would be pretty!

3- Alterations! My first alteration appointment is this Sunday. I am a tad bit nervous! This is by no means my dress, I just picked one off google images.

4- Wedding Shoes. These are not my shoes either, but I found some shoes on Tuesday! I was worried that I was not going to find them before my Sunday appointment, but I did! So I was pretty happy about that!

5-Invitations are being printed! Yay! I read over the proof a bunch, so hopefully nothing is wrong! But I cannot wait to get them back!

Mad Men “Betty Draper” Dress

I know I have told you how super excited I am about the two hour Mad Men Premier tonight. I wish I lived in the 60’s, it just looks like so much fun! And they have the best clothes! So I decided I needed to make a “Betty Draper” dress. Butterick has Retro ’60s patterns that you can buy at your craft store and I found this one. It was sold out the first time I went to buy it but I went back and was able to get it in my size.

Something similar to this, but with a lower/rounder neckline. I could not find the exact picture I was looking for. I made the dress and then added a headband in the dress fabric

I am sorry some of the pictures are a little washed out- it was very sunny outside and I applied an antiqued filter… I had to make them look vintage too!

And it is great for spinning!

(Check out the link parties to see where I may link up. I am linking up now though…April 21st….because life has been crazy!)

Yay for Friday: Wedding Planning
