That's all, for now ;)
I've decided to make a dress. I really like sewing, and although I don't do it often, I'm not all that horrible at it. I've made a Halloween costume for myself when my boyfriend and I went as Zuul and Vinz Clortho (if you don't understand that reference we can't be friends), a few headbands, and a few cases to hold my crochet hooks. They aren't amazing by anyone's standards, but they're good enough for me. Anyway, back to the dress. I have a mild obsession with vintage items, mainly from the era of the 50's and 60's. I love the clothes, the hair, the aprons, the food, the kitchen appliances, I can go on. The other day, after watching The Help for about the 8th time (there are other movies set in that era I love as well, this just happened to be the movie I was watching at the time that influenced this), I set my mind to it that I would make myself a dress that would look like something these women would have worn. So, off to Joann Fabrics I went. I looked through pattern books, wrote the numbers down of the ones I liked, took photos, and went home and showed them to my mom. I decided on a pattern I liked, one that was casual enough that it could be worn all the time, yet dressy enough I could wear it out to a party or something of that nature, and went back the next day with my friend/boyfriend's sister, Megan, to purchase it. While we were chatting and perusing the store, we stumbled across this fabric, one that we thought would be a perfect segue between the 50's and modern day, and I purchased the two items (we also got a pattern for an apron, but I might save that post for another day). I realized when I got home that in my excitement I had forgotten to purchase the other items needed for the piece (buttons, eyelet hooks, a belt buckle) so I had to return the following day, but now I should be ready to roll! So, be on the lookout over the next week or so for a fabulously 50's post, because I am pretty darned excited about this!

A common thing that is shared by almost all websites - casinos and 'playing rooms' alike - that give people platforms to play poker online is the instant poker bonuses they tend to offer. At the most basic level, the workings of these instant poker bonuses are quite understandable,
