I'll never cease to be amazed by all the stuff you make. (To think I spent nearly the whole year and all that came out was my wedding outfit and Halloween costume... gah...)

As much as you fuss about it being "inferior quality," the more you make the better you'll get! (And you are a million miles ahead of average anyway!) :P

As always, you are such a sweetheart!

By the way, I noticed on your flickr acct that you won that gorgeous mesh corset!! You lucky devil! It's really gorgeous :)

LOL! No, no, I didn't actually win it. I was putting up the pictures for someone on the TV board who didn't grab them when the auction was on. ;)

(They're technically not mine... so I should probably go take those down now. I'd forgotten because the woman never posted a reply on the thread saying she got them. Grab a copy now if you want one! :)
