Biggest Project Complete! :)

So, here is the wedding dress in it's original form:

I ripped out the shoulders and created a new piece that would cover the garments. Here is the front:

I only attached the front to the corset creating a "Two-Fer" piece. Here's the back:







She has a long drive ahead of her so, she will do the beading. As soon as I get a pic of her in the dress and completely finished, I will post it as well :). Congrats, Vivianna! Thanks so much for trusting me with your dress to make it look spectacular! :)

Biggest Project Yet

So, my friend, Vivianna has entrusted me with my biggest project yet. She got married last year and is getting sealed in the LDS temple in a few weeks to her awesome husband, Justin. She asked me to alter her dress to be temple worthy(meaning add a higher collar and sleeves to cover her garments). Wow!!! This dress is simply gorgeous! It's a 2 piece cream covered dress, with tulle overlay and very intricate beading. A couple of nights ago, we went pattern and fabric shopping for the original plan of a bolero, but, she wanted to show off the beautiful beading of the sweetheart neckline of the corset. So, we opted with taking off the already added on shoulder piece that someone else created for her. I made the top and ripped off the shoulder piece last night. Today, I'm fitting her with where to attach the two pieces and then starts the fun work of beading! :)...I'll post pics soon!

Crocheted Scarves

My old roommate, Marisol, taught me how to crochet a single and double stitch back in the Fall '08. So, naturally, guess what came for all the ladies in my life for Christmas that year?

My dear friends, Ben and Emelie, showing off their Christmas '10 presents.

Eliza showing off not only her Christmas '08 present, but, my adorable nephew, Ethan as well. :)

My cousin, Diana's, Christmas '10 present.

My dear friend, Gisele, is showing off her Christmas '08 present.

Peek A Boos and Binkie Clips

My friend Cris is a HUGE Batman fan; so, naturally she NEEDS to have a Batman Peek A Boo and Binkie Clips set for my new nephew, Titus.

My friend, Ms. Deanna, asked if I could create a Peek A Boo/Binkie Clip set for her cousin who just had a baby girl.

A friend of mine, Ms. Shanon, had a sweet little boy in early winter '10, so, naturally, I had to make her a beautiful Peek A Boo that showed off her love of gardening.

My friend, Tiffany had a baby girl in early May '11. They decided to wait to see what they were having; so, this gender neutral Peek A Boo and Binkie Clip set was perfect! :)

We had a set of three boys show up in our church in February. Here is Ms. Rebecca's Peek A Boo for baby Christopher.

Tea Aprons

My dear friend, Bethany married a very dashing Italian Air Force officer in the Fall of 2010. I was blessed to have BOTH of them model HER wedding present...LOL!!!

My good friend, Cris, asked if I could make matching "Sisters" aprons for her younger sisters.

I adore this apron. My friend Jessica is a big fan of '60s sitcoms and I do believe Lucy and Ethel would be proud of this adorable apron.

My friend Sarah asked if I could donate a matching "Mommy and Me" apronset for her school's fundraiser. I gladly obliged.

My favorite cousin(MFC) Patrica models off her Christmas '10 present.

Full Aprons

This is my brother's adorable fiance, Alex. I made this apron for her for Christmas '10.

My best friend, Eliza, and her daughter, Annie, modeling my first "Mommy and Me" apron set.

Dollie had to join the fun of matching aprons. Here, my beautiful cousins Darlene and her daughter, McKenna show off their set.

My good friend Jordyn gained this fun apron as a wedding present.

My new business cards! :) I'm getting official. Please let me know if you'd like any to pass out to your friends :)
