Dreamflower's Mathom-house

Remember the tunic blouse I was crocheting? Well, last weekend, just under a year from the time I started it, I finished! I also finally got the pictures uploaded today, which you can see behind the cut: ( Read more... )

Many years ago (back in the late 1980s) I was for a couple of years, an Avon Lady. I finally gave it up because I began to spend more than I made. But one of the wonderful things I got from Avon was a gorgeous scarf--a silky headscarf with a floral motif and a unicorn in one corner. I've been an avid unicorn collector since the 70s, so of course I got it, and then realized there was no way to wear it in which the unicorn could be shown off--whatever way I folded and tied it, it just didn't work out. I was still pleased with just having it, so I folded it up and put it away. The other day, I had it out and unfolded it and looked at it, and had an epiphany. Besides being a scarf, it was also fabric and it wouldn't take much to turn it into a very nice blouse...

I've posted what I hope will be a very interesting announcement here at shire_kitchen!

I hope it will be as exciting to others as it was for me to make!

Except for one brief errand in a few minutes, I'll be home today, and the house is all done and I can play on the computer all day if I want to. Expect to be spammed!

After fussing with a very slow Photobucket all weekend, I finally got some pics uploaded:

That apron I was making last week? ( Read more... )

I spent most of yesterday and today sewing, and just finished the new purse I designed for fall.

Pics behind cut. Again, I apologize for the huge size; I will have to work on that...

I posted pictures of the jacket I made to wear to Scot Moot on lotr_crafts:

I really had a blast making this jacket!

I've posted some pic-spam of a couple of my projects over at our new community, lotr_crafts.

I hope you will come and take a peek, and maybe join us!

Well, the internet has been cooperative today, and with danachan promising to figuratively hold my hand as co-mod, I took the plunge and we have set up a new community: lotr_crafts

I started with a couple of posts of projects of my own. I hope to soon see a lot more wonderful things posted. If you have already posted projects in the past on your own LJ, feel free to post links to them!

We want all kinds of projects, from costuming to miniatures to needlework to whatever you can think of!

And if you have not done crafts with a Lord of the Rings theme, but would like to, I hope you will come to us with any questions you might have.
