I saw George Carlin do his act in April.  It was unforgetable. 

Some of my favorite lines of his:

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

This from the National Apple Coucil: F&*# Pears!

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done

Well I think I found my dress for the formal event we are attending in Puerto Rico!  It is actually a 2 pieces set, with a longer-than-knee length black layered chiffon skirt.  It has a V-Neck Top and a hem to match the skirt.

The V-neck top is sufficiently modest, for maximum coverage, but it is kind of boring. 

I have a plan to spice it up… but I think it might be crazy.

I went to Harwin (fabulous area of town where one can obtain fashion jewelry for a pittance) and bought a necklace.

The necklace is rhinestones (trying to look like a diamond necklace---think Prom).  The rhinestones come to a ‘V’ and have a couple of rhinestone dangles. 

 I want to make the dress more formal by sewing the necklace onto the neckline of the dress.  I want to cover-up the construction of the necklace by sewing over the silver that connects one ‘diamond’ to another.  So hopefully it will look like a diamond edge to my top.

 I am getting kind of worried about it though, because most of my craft projects have been tried before and often have tutorials all over the internet.  I can’t find one, so I am afraid I might ruin the top.  But I have a vision and it’s a risk I am willing to take.  I will post pictures once completed.
