Lace Trimmed Shell In Progress

I'm pleased with the way it's looking. It probably would've been a little better if I'd hand basted it first, but that's a Perfect World scenario...y'know, as in 'In a Perfect World, my kids and hubby (um, and I...) would put away things when they were done with them and I'd have a maid so that I wouldn't have to spend sewing time doing things like mopping floors and cleaning bathtubs...'

I'll probably only finish sewing down the lace today. Housecleaning is to the 'I can't put it off any longer' stage...
