A little searching...

Well today as I was working I was looking for a document that I SWORE I saved...somewhere... AnyWHO in my searching I came across some pictures from my old phone that were saved in my GoogleDrive. (Gotta thank that Rob again for his techie self!) I realized while looking back that maybe I have lost all of two pounds and secondly, I really have had a great crafty two years. Looking back I'm glad that I have taken time to foster my creativity more in these last two years. I've always been the crafty/artsy person *see B.L. for verification!! LOL Well I thought it would be fun (and free therapy) to share some of the projects from Crafty Christmas Past....... 

First up, my darling husband to be is a proud member of Omega Psi Phi and a little while ago he proudly celebrated his fraternity's centennial. Well we both went to a wonderful formal gala hosted by his alumni chapter. So I was inspired by this gown I found online and as we all know it was significantly overpriced as usual. So I took to creating the gown on my own and due to my wonderful talent of looking at a picture and being able to recreate it and here's the finished product.....

This is close to the inspiration picture. I couldn't find the original picture but this is VERY close....

And the final product.....

 PLEASE FORGIVE the goofy look and no makeup!! I took the picture like 3 days after the event!! LOL But this was so much fun even hand stitching the stone details on the sleeve!

Oh and to be festive I made my darling the vest and bow tie that he is wearing also!! :-) 

For all my wonderful sisters in the craft, the lovely Daughters of Isis we all know that DRAMA of finding the the perfect attire and gowns for all of our regaled events!! Well I have loved helping my girlfriends to create the gowns of their dreams!! LOL or just the random internet search for white gowns!! Well my Darling Daughter Kirstein wanted to create this dress..... 

Or something kinda close to it..... :-)

Here's what I started with.....

 
And here's the finished product!!

MIND YOU I'm STILL waiting on her to take a picture in the dress by herself!!!!! AHEM!! Kirstein!!!!

I'm still looking at the pictures and finding more products.... stay tuned for the next edition! 

HAPPY SEWING!!
