Avalon & a little Juicy "Couture"

Hey, I actually accomplished something this weekend! I finished up two sets to ship to my sweet little model Bella. Here's a peek!

Avalon


Juicy

And amazingly, there's more design stuff in the works.

Meanwhile, my friend Shannon, who is just my FAVORITE PERSON IN CYBERLAND (Hi Shan!) is coming to Blogland. With the funniest dang tagline EVER. Let's just say that her blog will be a haven for those of us who long for the time, the money, the simple chance to actually SEW...but children, work, real life responsibilities prevent our inner "Sewing Diva" to fully emerge and blossom. Shan calls it being the "anti-Diva". Which, frankly, tickles me five shades of PINK.

Stay tuned...

Hole-y Cannoli Batgirl...

As I snipped the final hanging threads from a sweet little peasant top (soon to be a custom shipment to a model), I did this:


Argh. Back to the cutting board on that one, eh?

But the capri's are delicious! Here's a peek...

Back to the sewing machine!

I've been biding my time waiting for the next season of Project Runway...watching BSG dvd's and Everybody Loves Raymond repeats on tv. BUT, I discovered Shear Genius on Bravo last night

Basically, it's Project Runway for hair. HAS to be the same producers/creators, because it's an obvious ripoff of PR. The pacing, the challenges, the set, heck even Jaclyn Smith's mondo-serious "This was your last cut" is Heidi-esque (as if!! She's clearly a wannabe.)

There's even a "Laura Bennett" (Tabatha) and a "Michael" (Anthony). Which is cool. PR Season 3 was my fave!

And last night, the winning haircut was created with these...


although NOT by him. He's a dork of the first degree, and is in NO WAY TO BE MISTAKEN AS A "TIM GUNN"!!! There's only ONE Tim, and dude is most definitely not it.

On the other hand, it's always fun to watch people act like horses arses on tv, and for some mystical cosmic reason, it's even more fun if they're of questionable character &/or sexuality.

So it's watchable. But, I offer no apologies for the voracious SQUEE'ING I'll be doing when the real PR returns to tv later this year. Bring on the too-thin, the too cute, the too tattoo'ed, the too former drug-addicted, the too-gay designers of extreme fashion. America is waiting.

Yummmm

Gorgeous, vintage-y custom from a fellow OK girl...


This set has sold, but you can search Whimsy Baby for more. I'd mark her as a favorite, she's super nice to boot!

And this, by jollies, THIS is yum-MAY!


It's by winipoo . The price tag is largess...but hey, "Mom" is worth it, right? Plus, it's like, ART.

As for moi, I have 1 leg done of a 2-leg pair of capri's. CUTE. Er, at least the one leg is. You'll have to take my word for it. Its going out this weekend to the sweetest little model. You know, just as soon as the other leg finishes itself (because I'm WAY too busy surfin the 'bay for pretties to do it now.)

Finally, while I debated saving this for a later post, in the end I can't resist sharing the utmost of the highest in automobile manufaturing...

Yes, friends, the Japanese have created the Hello Kitty-mobile. You might want to hide this post from your daughters.

Hump Day tomorrow chickies!!
