Tuesday and Wednesday were busy packing days. Alot of sale orders to get out for sure - thank you all.
Wednesday night my husband and I participated in an online cooking class with Chef Robert Irvine (Restaurant and Dinner Impossible). We had all the ingredients prepped and ready but even so it was a train wreck - food flying everywhere and us laughing hysterically trying to figure out where we went wrong when the online media would stall and we'd be a step behind. Oh my gosh it was so fun. There was a running live blog too and the comments had us hooting in laughter. This is the first time he has done this online and he said he learned alot - I'm sure he did. We did too! Can't wait for the next class. We made a pork tenderloin with a sauce on it which was fabulous but my favorite dish was the shrimp and polenta. I had never made polenta before and it was delicious - we added spinach and spices, along with white balsamic. We plated the polenta, topped with the grilled shrimp, and then topped with a "salsa" consisting of sauteed red onions and strawberries. It was amazing! Here is a link to the recipes we did: Robert Irvine Recipes
The most noteworthy pattern listed this week (only listed yesterday and today) is this Vogue 1070 Fashion Diva Coat, Skirt & Tunic Blouse 1961 which I got in the mail from my sister the other day. She found it at a yard sale! It's extremely rare and uncut and it also has the original label. Thanks sissy!
My next favorite went in today - Mail Order 2294 Irresistible Dress with "Button" Bodice / ca. 1940's and I have two of them. The first is in Factory Folds the other was used and has mild wear but entirely useable. That "button" bodice is so very pretty. I like the idea of a contrast fabric too. Really sets it off.
Back to the 70's with this sassy party dress - McCall's 3213 Flirty Party Dress 1972 and of course the bottom ruffle is a must.
I've had this one in my "to check" bin for a while and finally confirmed that it is complete: Advance 8710 Smashing Two-Piece Dress / ca. 1958 with a most becoming blouson look.
The ultimate 70's Hostess Award goes to: Simplicity 6020 Dazzling Wrap Blouse & Palazzo Pants & Skirt 1973. Skip the skirt and head straight to those wide legged pants! Two sizes available!
