My dress is complete

The weekend is over and boy could we use a few more days. We were at my parents house everyday this weekend to finish the tile in their bathroom. It took Fri and Sat just to lay it. Sunday Jacob did the grout, I helped as best I could but all I'm good for is putting the mastic on the tile. That counts right?? :) My mom was very pleasent while we were there and made us dinner both nights. All I can say is, what a relief! I made a few changes to my dress, there was a sash that I wasn't too fond of, so I found a way to remove it. I love how it looks. Sunday I brought my dress to my parents so I could fix my hem. We are so tight on time and money there was no way a seamstress would get it done in time. I have to say that it turned out pretty good, but it took hours. I wish that I would've had a sewing machine. I have one at home but the plan was to try to use that strip that you iron on. It wouldn't stick to my dress material. If I was thinking right I would've brought it home and used my sewing machine. I'm never doing that again!
