Mixed Feelings

I REALLY miss my camera.  I finished making my skirt last night :D  But I can't post a picture of it yet. :(  I also designed this outfit that I LOVE but I can't post that either.  Ugh.  Well, I'm going to take a shower and try to figure out what my next project will be.  I want to go to Joann's today to pick out a pattern & buy some more fabric (:  I think I want to make a sleep mask on my own...  It seems easy enough.  Or maybe an envelope clutch...But i don't know how to make button holes yet..
We'll see ;D

P.S. I really like these sets.  They were not made by me but I've gotten permission to post them here.

I miss my camera.  My dad brought it with him when he went to Colorado with my brother to go skiing. :(

My Obsession

Yay!  I am finished with my Regents so now I have the rest of the week off. ;D At the moment, I am loving the website Polyvore.  With the extra time I've had, here's two sets I've made so far.

My Project is Finished! (Well almost...)

This weekend I cleaned up my sewing area and cut out pictures from my Teen Vogues to put on my walls. (:

I'm actually really happy with the outcome.

I am missing a few things, though.  I need a better chair, because if you noticed, I've been using my brother's exercise chair.  Hehe.  I also want to fill up the ENTIRE wall with pictures from magazines.  I'll get there someday...  I could also use a few organizers for scissors and fabric. 

Since my sewing area is in the basement, I wanted to brighten it up. (:

Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

Hi! (: So, I just got home from Church.  I absolutely loved the flower display this week & I felt inspired to design this.  I had the whole dress planned out before I got home.  Usually I just have some sort of idea of what I want when I start sketching and see what comes of it.  Anyway, here it is.

Finally!

Yay! I finally opened my Etsy shop.  I can't write much because I have to study for finals and I have dance in a little bit.  I'll post some items that I'm not selling on Etsy, here.  I might make some similar items to sell.
<--I made this bow with a pattern from creativeyarn.blogspot.com.


Here's a headband who's pattern I also found on Creative Yarn.

Okay, I have to go but please check out my shop!  I've put a link for it on this page.

Etsy

Ohmygosh, I found this vintage sweater on Etsy the day after Christmas and I've wanted it so badly since then!  Unfortunately, I spent all of my money on Christmas gifts and I don't have much time this year to get a job D:  Surprisingly, no one has bought it yet.  If someone does end up buying it before I get the money for it, I was wondering if I could just personalize a sweater myself to look like this.  I could most likely find a simple sweater and maybe sew some sequins and tiny embellishments onto it?  I'll have to ask Linda, my sewing teacher ;)  If it's possible, this will be my next project.  

Speaking of Etsy, tonight, during Desperate Housewives(one of my favorite shows), I'm going to finish sewing my appliques onto the collection of scarves I've finished.  Then, I can open a store on Etsy. :D  If people like them and buy them, maybe I won't have to personalize a sweater...but I kind of like the idea of doing it myself now.  Anyways, this is one scarf I have finished.  I've made three small flower appliques and added them to the bottom.

Rainbows apologize for angry skies.

Hithere.  Today's 

weather inspired me to design this. ;D  I've always loved yellow raincoats & rain boots because they're so bright! Yet they're worn on the most dull and boring days.  Kind of ironic, I guess. Hehe

Sorry, about the picture quality.  My scanner is broken.skfhkdjfhoigjion. So, I used my camera to take pictures.

Happy

Happy, happy fashion - there is not much more to it than that.
