Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean. is there a better way or should i keep doing this.

What's the limit? 2 inches? 3? 4? Maybe I can pull it off by only hemming 2 and then wearing a belt? The "torso". I am talking about the waist. How much can I take out of the waist?

    I love color, love to play with it, teach it etc. Did you know that sky blue and lavender are the only two colors that are never ending..............when you look into the sky you do not see the end of it and the same applies with lavender. (not purple) I did a lot of research before doing my bedroom in lavender and it is without a doubt the most successful space I have done. It's light airy, feels large but not cold. Lavender is a very special color to work with.
