I didn't do much in the last week of 2012 except make a Fancy Dress costume for a friend of mine who was working New Year's Eve in one of the local Hotels. There has always been a long tradition here in Weymouth for dressing up to celebrate New Year's Eve, and when we were a lot younger my husband and I used to meet up with our friends and enjoy a great night out dressed as our Alter Egos. Nowadays we leave it to the young people and stay at home to watch the celebrations on the Television. I thought the Fireworks Display in London was magnificent and something to be proud of. I haven't seen my friend since but am hoping someone took a photograph of her so that I can see what she looked like. I used to have a Costume Hire shop in another life, and used to make most of the Costumes myself. I have made everything from Clown suits to King Henry VIII and must admit that I rather enjoyed the process again. So much so that I intend to make up some of the vast amount of fabrics I still have lurking in the cupboards. This is going to be my year for de-cluttering so this seems to be a creative way to start.Happy New Year everyone.
