Last weekend we went off camping.  My Beloved had a hammer-in to go to.  At these events, he networks and is exposed to knew blademaking techniques.  It is a good time for him.  We always try to find a camping spot realitively close.  We did.  I got lots of quiet time, which I obvioulsy needed.  We are going camping with the Tall Short Person and the Smallest Short Person this coming weekend just cause.  It does mean I will be kind of quiet here this week.

Part of my quiet time was finishing the newest linen dress I was making.  I took it on to the camp site with me with just the buttons and buttonholes left to do.  I was able to find the time.

I love this style dress.  I am always surprised how many compliments I get on it.  Much more then shorter styles or sheath styles.  I really do not understand but I do know I can do about anything in it.  I would have to say it is my newest favorite dress.  Especially since I had to retire four dresses to no longer being worn at work.  Soon they will be cut apart to become something else because of how they are wearing.  

This dress is a good one.  I did decide that I have to make a new apron to go with it.  Hopefully, it will be done so I can be doing the hand finishes on the coming camping trip.
