Day 42 - It was happening!

We spent the next 6 hours moving around the studio, looking for different backdrops, setups we could put to use.  The most amazing thing about the space is that we could lift and shift and move all the furniture, antiques, props, and artwork around the room just about as much as we wanted. So each set was unique to each look.  We needed to capture what we had in our minds.  It's rare that it actually happens...but we were lucky to have a great team all picturing the same dreamy images in their minds and IT...WAS...HAPPENING!

At 4pm, we were beat, starving and ready for a drink.  We all walked just down the street to 27th & 3rd to grab a bite to eat.  Everyone was feeling good.  Most of all, my mother.  Keep in mind that she's been sewing off and on for the past week, usually spending all night in our living room sewing till the wee hours of the morning. One drink and she was rocked.  Ended up sleeping on the sofa in the bar.  She'll kill me for telling you that! But hey, that's the fun of writing my own blog!  She only woke up when we brought chocolate cake to her.  Just to add a little light-hearted birthday fun, we grabbed a chocolate cake from a little bakery around the corner to celebrate two birthdays in the group!  My little sister's 21st on Jan 24th and Donnie's birthday from Jan 19th.  So fun!  We spend a couple or 3 hours at Rodeo before heading home to CRASH.....finally, sleep...

Oh, but wait!!  We still had Shirley waiting in the wings!  She wasn't even completed yet!!  God, we had 3 more styles to sew in time for Part II of our photo shoot first thing on Sunday morning.  UGH!!! When the heck were we gonna get it done?

Here are a few more photos!  More to come in the next several days.  Let's make it fun!  Starting tomorrow, we'll be posting "A" and "B" photos.  If you could be so kind to choose between A or B, it'll help us edit and choose the most popular to use for our look book!  Sound like a plan?
