Murder at the Juice Joint

We had so much fun tonight!  We were invited to a roaring 20's Murder Mystery Dinner at the Brower's house. 

This is "Molly Moll" (aka Sandi Brower) and "Notorious Nick" (aka Matt Brower).  Molly is Nick's girlfriend, and she  knows that he can do wonders for her movie career.  Since the rise in organized crime, Nick's operation has done nothing but prosper.  He paid for all of our dinners tonight.  Sadly, he was murdered while I was eating my canoli.

This is me, Anna Marie. I'm still mourning the loss of my father, Louie Marie.  I'm ready to seek revenge whatever the cost......
At my side is P.I. Pinkerton, private investigator.  It's P.I.'s job to take charge and decipher the clues and reveal the truth.



This is Flora Nemetz-Gadora (aka Mabulane), Notorious Nick's ex-wife.  Caught cheating, Nick divorced Flora immediately a month ago.  Left without anything, Flora's romantic interest has shifted from one mob boss to another.  I found out tonight that she was having an affair with my father!  He bought her a car and she said they were just friends...... At her side is Chief Cameron(aka Addison), the police chief.  As the city's main law enforcement officer, Cameron enforces the Mayor's decisions. 

Remember that I told you that Notorious Nick (our host) was murdered while we were eating dinner?  Well you won't believe who did it........Chief Cameron....he also got the award for best dressed.  The nerve!


Humphrey Bogart was there, but he's pointing his gun at the wrong guy.....

Harrison and Kyler, two of Sean's friends, played the parts of bartender and waiter.

We went by all dressed up, and surprised Sean at Burger King.  It was college sports day, so he is wearing a BYU baseball shirt.

I did the can can, maybe he didn't like it???

Mabulane


Mabulane received her patriarchal blessing last Sunday.


We were invited, it was really wonderful!

Mabulane wanted to learn how to sew.


She decided on a baby bonnet.

We are pleating the fabric, preparing it for smocking.

Mabulane is sewing the lace onto the fabric.

Voila!  The finished product, it is really beautiful, she has a skill that she didn't know about.  Mabulane's parents were tailors so it probably runs in the family.  I make Mabulane show the bonnet to everyone, and no one can believe how beautiful it is!  What do you think?

Now for the next project.... a table runner.

Mabulane chose the fabrics herself from my stash.
She is very meticulous in her sewing, everything matches perfectly!  I am amazed because my sewing is not perfect, I am not a perfectionist in that aspect, but Mabulane is.

Isn't it beautiful?  She finished it in about 2 weeks!

The back of the runner is really pretty too.  The next project is a smocked baby dress to match the bonnet.
