Handworks Crochet and then Some!

So I was free from dancing last weekend...... But Friday we went to Mirage anyways to see Sonja and smoke a hooka (aka dessert without calories!) Here she is with her hubby... Mr. and Mrs. Tree Hugger! Gotta love'em! But really I wanna talk about what I wore and how awesome I am for finding a $180 pair of jeans in Rag-A-Rama thrift store for $25. LOL! Paige Denim.... all the rage in the latest greatest denim! My review: Not su' much... They lost their shape pretty quickly and so I tied this scarf around my hips. Also they are supposed to make your a** look awesome... again.... not su'much. My Allen B's and my own jean creations make my backside look much better.... So in conclusion and my opinion: Paige denim jeans are all HYPE! But if you can find them in a thrift store... why not??? They are the latest trend in jeans... The shirt I'm wearing is a handmade creation from the same store... $14. The bolero, I made.

This is BWOF dress from 5/03 (I can't remember the pattern # now!) It was meant to be lose and kinda shapeless... I cut it down alot in the waist. I used a longer zipper and just made it so it unzips off. Its made from stretch denim so its very comfortable! I made the lace with my embroidery machine... using Dakota's new lace cd. For the straps I made long belt carriers. As I've said before I don't make dresses often, because I don't wear them often. I wore this last night to the hockey game and was amazed at how comfortable I felt in it.... maybe it was the casual feel of the denim that made me feel so 'at home' in this dress.... And the fact that I knew if the wind blew this dress couldn't blow up! That's something I always worry about when I wear a dress!! And! I felt like it looked really good because even before we walked in the coliseum a nice lady told me how cute I looked! So in conclusion: I will make and wear denim dresses out of the denim...
