Such a BUSY night!!

Last night was crazy busy! I am SOOOO tired today! As you can see by the end of the night everyone was up dancing! And later on I learned a new dance... I think it was Palestinian...
it was fun and quite a work out!!! There are a couple of Palestinian customers that come in every week and always do this stomping dance.. they always look like they are having so much fun.
So last night after I was done with my show I decided I wanted to know how to do it!!! I think the song is seriously like 15 minutes long! SOOOOO tired!!!!
No fire dance last night.. way to many people! But theres always the sword dance... and its always a crowd pleaser... and I bore myself doing it so bad!!!


Bombshell costume made an appearance...



And last night I wore my Gauzy BWOF shirt (cleavage alert!!) and my new jeans!! The Bald Man was trying to get a good pic of me in the shirt but Jesse here decided he wanted to get in on the pic too! He's the bartender at Mirage and he's great! He came over for dinner one night and tried to teach me to crochet... but I still can't crochet so I'm investing a real class in Feb so maybe I can learn and won't have to bother Jesse anymore... Learning to crochet is a big goal of mine this year.... and making "the perfect jeans" and SWAP.... and learning to do the perfect FBA, and make a constructed jacket... and make the Bald Man pants, shirts, jackets.... is a year long enough to do all this?????

A Great Weekend!

The Bald Man and I had a fantastic weekend! Friday we just kinda hung around the house.. watched a movie. Saturday was 'going out' night! We went couple of places and then ended up at the Mirage. Its been awhile since I've been there but we told Rach we would come see her dance. Here she is to the right in a bra and belt I made which looks great on her!! I hate to say it but I really don't like watching bellydancers after all the years of dancing myself and watching them. I find it boring... unless the dancer has what I call the "it" factor. Let me tell ya! Rach has the "it" factor! She sparkles and grows when she dances. Most people can learn to dance... but not everyone shines when they do it. I'll be back to see Rach dance again! Below we have a pic of Capt. Bald Man! Yesterday we took one of the boats out for a joy ride on Lake Loudon. We had fun... and some surprises along the way!! It was a beautiful day to be on the lake!!! Next Sunda...

I get new tops, the Bald Man gets a shirt!

Below is Burda 8116. A super easy tank top with a wrap topper. The pants are from BWOF. This was such an easy pattern!!! I made the below tank and topper in an hour... seriously! Ofcourse I must say having a cover stitch machine greatly speeds up sewing knits. In fact the day after I made these... I made 2 more tanks, another topper.... and the below view from the same pattern... a simple mock wrap top. The jeans were made last year from a pattern I copied from rtw. Anyways for those of you looking for a quick project... gotta get this pattern! Below here is NL 6429. It was easy too.... I actually made this last fall and never got to wear it... I wore it last night to Latino night at the Fairbanks.... good times! I wouldn't mind making another dress like this in some less 'fancy' fabric. Another shirt for my Bald Man... this was his B-day present... made once again using that wonderful Islander pattern. I embroidered a cross on the pocket... Some crosses on the sleeve... A...
