Out and About!

Popped into my favourite op-shop (Treasures on Railway Pde, Kelmscott) and had a hunt around. I found 2 metres of nice soft shirt fabric which was marked down to . Bargain! Will put that away for the ‘right’ project. Found some beautiful patent leather mary-jane shoes, but after I got over the joy of mary-janes, [...]

Baby Whites Part 2

Here is the entire finished set … complete with cricket bat!! I put a 50c coin next to the set so that you can see the scale. Because it’s so late, I couldn’t get the light right for photos, but you get the idea (photos in the previous post show the details beautifully). The cap [...]

Another Spring Day

2 looks, and a skin. I started out wearing the dress from Look #1, while out shopping with Sasy of SasyPants, and Newdoll, of Scantily Clad (NEW!). The look centers around the Emily dress from Mimikri which is a fun pattern, and I love the colors in the Beige variation.  What I loved was how [...]

Happy Birthday Friend

This is what I have gathered/made for my friend’s birthday present … we try not to spend alot on birthday/Christmas gifts … so it’s time to get creative. It’s a Shopping Survival Kit! The contents are: 2 fold-up shopping bags (made from a cut up doona cover) jar of hand sanitiser (Avon) shopping list (printed [...]

A Prickly Post

I decreed that February is my “use it up” month as far as fabric goes, so I’ve not bought any, but am working myway through my stash! It’s fun to put things together using what I have, changing, compromising, and eventually getting things to work! Anyhow … here is today’s making … It’s a pincushion!! [...]

Baby Presents

A friend of LMS (age 15 … poor love) is having a baby in April, and we wanted to give her a present for the baby shower. So, I saw Tracy’s beautiful creations, followed the link to Homespun Threads, and made a pair myself – I used iron on wadding for cushioning, and felt particularly [...]

Hilary Rhoda In Alexander McQueen – 2011 Met Gala

There hasn’t been as much Alexander McQueen on the red carpet at the 2011 Met Gala as we expected. Hilary Rhoda is one of the few wearing McQueen tonight. She opted for an Alexander McQueen white silk tuxedo coat dress from the Spring 2011 collection. The all white look was paired with white python booties [...]

Tutorial – Lightening A Dark Photo

I initially did this for the Second Life Stock Images group, after Sasy told me my photos were kinda dark.  I freely admit this, as I like darker photos.  Probably cause I am prone to migraines, and sensitive to light.  Unfortunately I live in tropical Florida, when my favorite weather is anything foggy, and overcast, [...]

My Phone Is Broke

It may be time to switch providers. I’m currently with AT&T…it’s the most expensive provider out there from what I could tell from the 10 minutes of research I did. I’ll probably go to Revol. I just thought you ought to know. They seem to have the coolest new phones with the latest technology, like [...]

New batteries equals new pictures

Yep – took a while to figure out that the camera needed new batteries! Here’s Charlie keeping me company while I update my blog! Now he’s sitting at my feet hoping for biscuits!! I’ve been busy doing … well … nothing! Can’t think of overmuch that I’ve achieved at all. This is LMS’ ds case [...]
