Do you know how many people laughed at us that we were getting all fancied up at 3am to have a tea party and watch the wedding. lol I didn't care, my sister's understood me and that's all that matters.<br /><br />But, on another note, a Maid Marion dress sounds AWESOME!! OH! I would die to have one, so you really should show us pictures, if for no other reason than to show us, who read your blog and love what you do, even the stuff that may sound crazy, like having a bustle in this day and age. PS LOVE that tutorial, I'm gonna do it some day.<br /><br />Also, I used your Anthro hat knock off tutorial for my tea party hat, though I did not use buttons, they just didn't seem to fit anywhere on my hat. But it was super cute and I MUST thank you for doing it. Thanks!!<br /><br />Annie - ardunn04 at gmail dot comAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06684192388962578663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332341781238950144.post-33238932494108949332011-05-05T06:25:11.496+09:002011-05-05T06:25:11.496+09:00I so get it about being teased for being crafty. ...I so get it about being teased for being crafty.

With my friends and where I work, you are a cool woman if you smoke a lot, work 12 hours a day, are constantly stressed, late somewhere, and always upset about human rights violations. I am a very passionate knitter and knitting really helped me with my stressful job, but after a while I realized I better hide my excitement about it from my colleagues. But it's really silly we feel we need to apologize for something that makes us happy.<br />also, I used to be one of those people who say "I clean house is a sign of wasted life". But then I realized it can be really hurtful to someone, and what's wrong with someone wanting a clean house?tenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16930163333584057836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332341781238950144.post-77092497167797103682011-05-03T10:49:13.130+09:002011-05-03T10:49:13.130+09:00Oh my gosh she is so adorable!Oh my gosh she is so adorable!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458221822494394620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332341781238950144.post-41293375887232697542011-05-03T08:06:30.406+09:002011-05-03T08:06:30.406+09:00If it makes you feel any better about your dress c...If it makes you feel any better about your dress choice, Burdastyle picked that exact dress as one of their "Best of April." :)<br /><br />http://www.burdastyle.com/albums/233/images?page=14&size=small<br /><br />I'm sorry about your experience.

I used to make some of my own clothes in high school and college. I made a dress with a matching beret and wore it, and then this guy called me Monica Lewinsky for weeks. I never wore that dress or beret again. Then in college someone saw a skirt I was making and said "you're going to WEAR THAT!!??" and so I never did. I gave it to my sister years later and it looked fabulous on her. I wish I had been more bold.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935116279623927577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332341781238950144.post-47423706903522843322011-05-02T22:43:58.101+09:002011-05-02T22:43:58.101+09:00One word: jealous!

And hard to understand, too, I think. <br /><br />The 'hard to get it' factor is the reason that I love my 'blog friends' so much (though my husband told me that I shouldn't use that term because it sounds stalker-ish and creepy). It's seriously so fun to share my love for creating with a community of other fabulous, talented, like-minded (or like-interested) friends. Just having other people who 'get it' delights my little heart.<br /><br />You are one of those friends to me.

I would have done the same thing and left, then been mad about leaving and feeling sorry for myself. Odd how one person can bring us down so fast and ruin an otherwise perfect time.
