Our tradition is simple, attend Christmas Eve mass, photos in front of the tree, family dinner, and open presents. What's yours?

So many of you are dog lovers, and many of you shared experiences with me being a dog owner. I found this very interesting that the treats we often buy and give to our furry babies are not really healthy for them. In fact, they're toxic. Instead, it is one of the causes why they're getting allergies or stomach issues, and my babies share the same experience. For a while now, I would cook fresh meals and treats. Zoe loves home-cooked meals. Last night, I came home from a very long day and baked treats. As you can see, they're round as we give her pills morning and night. She has thyroid issue. She won't take her meds alone, so we insert it in a treat. We tell her it's a butterball. She knows what it is. She loves it.
I've made different styles of sleeves, but this one I had more fun making it. My bride Katherine showed me a picture of peasant sleeves. She said this is what I want, so here you go. We thought that since she had flowers from her hem , we could incorporate it and add it on the wrist of the sleeves. I love it.

Two lovely birds just celebrated their beautiful wedding on September 7th. This is one of my many redesign projects to add fitted long sleeves on her dress with buttons on the cuff for my bride, Megan.

My sister Yvon and I started to put together this massive Grand Cathedral 252" veil for my bride for her wedding in November. Her Mom wants it long and wide, like Princess Diana's veil. Yes! It's massive and it's beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished product. Who wants one?

A sneak peek on my current project for September wedding. I've created a detachable skirt and sleeves for my bride's Hollywood Glam theme wedding. I am 90% done with this project. My bride Cass is so giggly and happy.
The skirt is a grand cathedral 120" by 120 width out of Mikado fabric, lined with 5" horsehair around the hem and buttons in the back. It's massive, it's beautiful, and I love it.
Who wants one?

Imagine walking down the aisle of one of these biggest, most beautiful, and enchanting chandeliers! Yes, they are all humongous pieces of art. Each time I stay in this hotel in Manila, I just keep on staring at them, Wow!

Sometimes, we buy a dress, and the neckline and/or bust just don't seem to fit, especially wedding gowns. I've seen a design that is just too small, or the neckline is too low. Here, I've extended Ashlee's neckline to have a little bit of coverage adding lace in the front.
She got her dress @Brilliant Bridal
We also made a waltz lentgh veil with the Swarovski pearl element. What a beauty.

What a beautiful day to walk and smell the Arizona fresh air. I was hoping to drive to Prescott and hike, but I settled to walk in our neighborhood. Let's enjoy our good weather because it won't last.
We are celebrating our Cinco De Mayo with my old-time friend Suzie Novak. It's her birthday today.
Happy Sunday and Happy Cinco De Mayo.đź’•
One of my fitting sessions on how to bustle a train on a wedding gown. I hope this is helpful and informative.
