Raggedy magpie.....

Design for a hat - really can't wait to get started on this one!

EDIT: finished!

My mother and I in our Christmas best. This is the vintage dress if bought from Beyond Retro for the S.S.Atlantica ball earlier this year. I altered the neckline, to give it more of a sweetheart neckline (it was a very high neckline before). I think I'll wear it a lot more like this. I need to get some nice ribbon to edge it with, but if I can't get an exact match for the ribbon and buttons running down from the waist I'm thinking about getting a nice burgundy red ribbon and re-doing the whole thing.
