Sparkle Bands

You can get away with wearing sequins all day with these sparkle bands.

These were my first two attempts at sewing sequins by hand. :)

Tutu work in progress.

I finally put my pattern making and sewing knowledge into good use.
Need to add a few more layers of tulle at the bottom, cut them
to approximate the shape of the tutu on the left and sew in a waistband..

So far I am twirling with glee with the way this project is turning out :)

Under the Tuscan Sun

Finally finished the fascinators for a bridal shower.

I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind Someday

I'd like to walk around in your mind someday
I'd like to walk all over the things you say to me

I'd like to run and jump on your solitude
I'd like to rearrange your attitude to me

You say you just want peace and to never hurt anyone
You see the end before the beginning has ever begun

I would disturb your easy tranquillity
I'd turn away the sad impossibility of your smile

I'd sit there in the sun of the things i like about you
I'd sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you

But most of all i'd like you to be unaware
Then i'd just wander away, trailing palm leaves behind me
So you don't even know i've been there

Tete-a-Tutu

It may be a tad too late to start thinking about making tutus,
but I want to make one anyway. I think they're timeless, elegant and chic.

But you can also dress it down.
Balmain Tulle Skirt


Maybe I can put a few feathers in there.
I shall take this project on over yet another long weekend.
