very exciting news!!!

I've been asked to design and make a wedding dress for my cousin thats getting married in 18 months. i was scared to say yes at first, with all the work involved, but i couldn't resist an opportunity like this!!! i'm going to have to start collecting fabric samples and prices, look at wedding dresses for design ideas, mock up patterns, toils, teach myself some of the skills involved that i don't know how to do yet, and make the actual dress! AAARRGGHHHH!!!!
