Its been awhile!

Be warned! This is a long post since its been forever since I've posted anything on either of my blogs! I have actually finished 2 dresses but here is the one I was making for church on the right... I love it! It came out super nice... not to low in the front.... and it was easy! Yay! New Look patterns!

See I have been sewing! Just not taking pics and posting often enough!



And a New Look purse... Love it too... Brocade and a great snake skin vinyl I got up in Boston!



In other news.... My son got a hair cut! Trust me... this is news!



And here he is on the left holding little 2-Pac... and 2-pac is wearing pants... lol! My lil' pac does love to wear clothes but this was to much!






Some purple roses from Bald Man here on the right...
See... the sweetest man ever! He surprised me with these the other day... no reason... just because!





New Member of the family!!!!! This below is our new chinchilla Powder. Isn't she beautiful???

Now Laura over at SewatSea surprised me last week with a package she secretly sent to the Bald Mans store...


Just look at this gorgeous fabric to the left she sent me!!!
Just waiting to be a costume!! Its extra sparkly and should be envied by other bellydancers pretty easily...



If you've followed my blog from time to time you'll see me get ahold of very large pants.. cut them apart and make new jeans for myself... For this to work I need really big pants... Well Laura sent me some REALLY big pants! Check out my son holding them up here... yep, I'm pretty sure I can get a pair of pants and a purse outta these if I want!
THANK YOU LAURA!!!! You made my day last week...
seeing as how I received her package the evening I got the terrible swap!!

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures.  I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn.  I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets!  For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with!  The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...

The accidental costume coming right along......

Ok! I didn't mean to start this costume. I meant to finish my Fire costume first but...I needed to make a 'muslin' for my holiday skirt though... and I thought I would make it out of this beautiful stretch velvet fabric I got from Gail K's back in the summer... and so a costume is born!!!! Just check out the color combos on this. I'm styling it after a Sahar costume. And so now... I can go ahead with Project Holiday Outfit too... the fit of this skirt is divine! I'll be making it again and again!

The "Panama Dress"!

Here is my "Panama Dress" from fabric I bought in... yes Panama! Its actually a skirt and top but it does look like a dress. No pattern, all draped. The skirt is made up of 4 separate long triangle panels that are that are rounded at the bottom. There's ALOT of movement in the skirt. The top is a fitted band around the waist and the top bust part is only attached in the back and at the sides so the bust part makes a pretty drape and I could get the waist part super tight and fitted. I hand knit the belt out of some beautiful copper yarn I got up in Philly and attached it to the skirt. The purse is some fabric I got at the sewing expo last year and is covered in tiny black poodles. It draws up at the top and through a little black crocheted doily I made that I covered in crystals. The pattern for the purse is called Circle Purse and I can't remember the designer!!! Someone asked me where I bought this dress when I wore it out last Tues. and yes I beamed when I said ...
