The voice of doom!

As promised, we had another session last night. Here are the memorable lines:

And that's it for this time! See you all in a week or two for the next installment!

Sewing update

My apron dress is now at the point where I can put it on. All the seams are sewn (though not finished). I had a bit of an annoyance when I realized one of the gores started about an inch lower than the other two, but it doesn't really show when I'm wearing it. (Note for non-sewers: a gore is a triangular piece of fabric that makes the skirt of a dress fuller and flare out.)

Next steps: hem the top part, finish the seams on the straps, iron and attach them, get my mom to measure the hem length for me, finish all the seams and hem the bottom. And then it'll be time to start all over again with apron dresses #2 and #3. I promise there will be pictures, as soon as I can find someone to take them for me.

Help needed! Does anyone know how to finish the end of a strand of beads so that I can take it on and off of a dangly thing like this and also be able to add and remove beads? I'm totally stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.
