i can't get enough pink

i've been a busy gal over the last couple of weeks.  it hasn't had much to do with the silly season, but more to do with lots going on at work and a few loose ends to tie up.  now that those loose ends are all sorted, i made it my priority to sew my work christmas party dress today.  this year's extravaganza will be pink and of course only the hottest of hot glittery pinks will do.

 

i can't reveal this fabulous number yet, but making a dress is that is in fact the same colour as our christmas tree is alarming, but not surprising

 

 see what i mean!

 

oh, and the shoes i am wearing just happen to be...................pink
