My first snood

Well I finished one project.  A snood.  This took me a while as I've never crocheted before so it was a learning process.  I also didn't use a pattern, I just played and I have to say, it came out pretty good for my first one.

Now, where to wear it?!?

A goal for my site...

I have a goal of June 1st to get some pics up.  Of me in my ren garb, everyday photo's and of some of my projects and or art.  It's been a bit crazy the last 2 weeks and I hope to get some stuff up here.  Maybe even some finished projects (miracle there...me getting any project done)  Check back, hopefully I'll have a few post soon.

My late-renaissance Italian gown.

Well for the most part it's done.  I may make a different chemise to go under it but otherwise it's done...

These pics don't really show off the sleeves that well, I'll have to try for better one.  There is a pale yellow in it, and 4 shades of blue .  I found this gossamer white/silver ribbon to attach the sleeves.  I still might even do some more beading.  I'll try and see if the mister won't take a pic of me in it soon.

I want!!!

I love to sew, I love to do a lot of things.  Tonight one of the blogs I follow had posted a pic of a dress she just made.  So while looking at that pattern I found 3 others.  Simplicity pattern 6020, 6910, and 6966.  YUM.  I love the sweetheart neckline on 6020 B.  I think I might just have to get out my trusty sketchbook and create me some outfits.  I'm a big girl, well not too big just 2X but when looking at retro fashions...I might as well be big as a house or at least I feel that way.  I've found that sometimes just playing with a sketchbook and a general design, I somehow can create patterns without buying one.  If I get the courage and time, I'll have to make something and post a pic soon. 

Nite all!
