Does it fit? Corset does!

I finished my corset in time for the convention and wore it on the Saturday night. It's slightly too big, as when it's laced up there isn't a gap at the back, so the next one I make will be a size smaller.

The garden has been quite good - we've had some carrots and quite a lot of tomatoes, although I think I've managed to kill the mint, and the strawberries have mostly died now since we had such a rotten summer.

This was a lovely salad I made for myself last week from some roast chicken we had left over:

Today I made another beaded bracelet. I haven't put the felt backing on yet, but I'll do that tonight whilst I'm watching the soaps.

Dress finished (at last!)

I've finally finished the dress I started way back in July before I decided that I needed a different lining fabric, and then had to go back to work. Here are a couple of photos:


And here's a photo of some cookies - I made these a couple of weeks ago to take to JK and Gareth - I think they went down well! Ade also made brownies, and I made some oaty biscuit things too:

Now I'm going to get started on my corset - hopefully I'll be able to get it finished before Reunion. But not today - the Wii is calling me...
