My daughter has a monthly Bunco group and we always have a theme. This month she was hosting and the theme was "Jane Austen." We usually get some creative ideas for costumes, and try not to spend too much money on them. But we've had several Jane Austen events, Pride and Prejudice movie nights, tea parties, craft nights, so I decided to sew both of us a "Jane Austen" dress to wear for this month's bunco. Again, I bit off a little more than I thought I was doing. I thought I had plenty of time, but things just don't always work out the way I think they are.
We also had some ideas for decorating. My daughter was making bookmarks and some little miniature books, and I was going to make a book banner and decorate some mugs with quotations from the books. We managed to get everything done. Did you know that if you write with a Sharpie on a mug and bake it, it is permanent? Of course, we get our best ideas off the internet. :) I didn't realize until I looked at the picture, that I made the pleats in my dress fold the wrong way. I'll have to rip and fix before I wear it again. :)
