The Party Dress

I know its only May, but at work we've already been planning for the festive season! The Christmas Party has been booked and I've had to decide whether or not to go!

OK this may not seem a big deal to you, but for me it is. Mainly because if I do go, I will go a whole day without seeing my kids. :'(

But, they are getting older now and I'm sure they/I will survive the time apart...

And so, I have decided to go :D

Yesterday I let the folks at work know. The instant the little message appeared saying the text had been sent, a new issue hit me... 


"WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?!?!?!"


This question also sparked something else in me...

A desire I've been suppressing for too many years to mention...

An opportunity too good to miss!


"FASHION A FABULOUS FROCK*!!"

And so I have ordered a book The Party Dress by Simon Henry. I've had my eye on it for a while, so this is a perfect excuse :D

I already have a few designs in mind... watch this space! ;)

* Incidentally I hate the word frock... sounds so old fashioned and boring, I was just going for some alliteration!
