A Cleo for me! « »

SO…I finished my Cleo a couple of weeks ago and am just getting around to posting pics.

Here’s one of me and Mazie…that’s a new dress that I made for her. Grandma helped me with the front pleats, but I did the rest.

Here’s a mosaic:
If you clik on it, you go to the set of all of the pics.

I added the one of me just in the dress so that you can see what I’m wearing under the sweater, and how it might affect the shape. It’s gathered at the waist and kind of poufy, so it adds a little volume right in my tummy area.

This pattern is *almost* ready! I just have a couple of nitpicky things to fix and it should be available next week.

Nathan took these new pics on his lunchbreak today on our back patio. I hung up the sheet thinking it’d remove some of the distraction of the house and plants, the cement wall and high chain link fence (our backyard neighbors have their house done up like Fort Knox, it’s rediculous!) But the light was doing really funny things today and I of course couldn’t wrangle Mazie long enough to iron the sheet. ANYWAY…the pics give you an idea of what this looks like on a middle-aged person with a little extra padding! :) (…on a triple-digit temperature day in the middle of the desert…)
Next time i use a backdrop, I’ll use something long enough that I can also stand on it…like at the Portrait Studio! The cement is kind of distracting.

I like this shot because my tattoos look cool:
