Ahoy, matey!

Check out the custom Bloomers I recently finished! I personally love them. This one was a bit of a challenge because the Skulls & Roses cotton print fabric is not easy to come by particularly where I live. Luckily I was able to snag some at a decent price online. Then, I realized I was completely out the black cluney lace I was going to use to trim these. But, hidden away in my lace stash was just enough of the black & white cluney lace you see here. I've had it so long I don't think it's made anymore. At least, I've yet to find more!

Even with the hiccups, or more like thankfully due to the hiccups, I was able to create a great pair of one-of-a-kind bloomers for a wonderfully patient (and repeat) customer!

Recent Custom Work

Let's see, I don't think I've shown off the custom headband I made for the lovely & talented Miss Connie Faye. It's purple, black & white skull print on one side & black brocade on the other. 

 

 

 

 

I'm currently working on a Hob... erm, tiger buddy companion plush. This pic is before I started hand stitching, yes hand stitching, the stripes. I did my best to stay true to the pic but also not drive myself insane. Especially after the wrestling match I had with creating the pattern in the first place. Hopefully I'll be finishing this up either tonight or tomorrow!

No, I'm not selling these. It is a one-off for someone's Halloween costume.

No, I'm not releasing the pattern either, sorry.

 

And, I'm also working on a pair of pirate-y Bloomers! How awesome is this fabric and lace?

 

 

 

 

 

Next up: Matrix style coat for my hubby in black canvas & a dress for me in black cotton printed with red stars. Can't wait!

Etsy Treasury: Dead Ringer.

I love that random people love my creations enough to include them in Etsy treasuries! It makes me feel all squishy inside. This one is just so damn spooky-cute I had to share. I may just share them from now on here on my blog because I've been included in some really beautiful treasuries and there's no point in hoarding all the lovelies for myself ;D

Ah, there's my Madame Butterfly in Blue Reversible Headband in the 2nd row, 1st column. Click the image to visit the treasury and maybe find some new favorites or get your shop on!

Crazy Hair Days

April showers bring May flowers? Well, it's June and it's still raining which is giving me some serious "medusa" hair days --imagine booty length curly hair frizzed out and grabbing at everything. Rawr! So, because I'm tired of braiding and to keep my wild tresses from wrapping around piercings or trying to strangle me... I'm on a headband kick!

I have made a bunch of super awesome-riffic headbands for your lovely heads (and mine. Down, hair, down! *Whew*)

A handful --hairful?-- have already sold. Such as, Cherry Bombs & Bottle Rockets took off minutes after listing! Lucky for you, I have a duplicate or 2. Although, many of the fabrics are hard to find or discontinued so there will only be a very short run of these!

My headbands are made of cotton unless otherwise noted (some blends and even a silk blend). All are machine washable. And --the best part!-- they're reversible! 2 styles in 1, hot damn. Here's a sampling of them.

EDT Secret Scrooge Swap

Last month the lovely AgonysDecay put the call out for participants for a Secret Scrooge Swap so of course I couldn't pass that up. I happily can show you the goodies I sent since my recipient, SyntheticSeduction, has already received her package. She says, "He's just the cutest thing ever!" What do you think?

• A Zombie Hand Puppet
• A Grey & Purple Fleece Neck Warmer/Gaiter/Cowl/whatever-the-heck-you-want-to-call-it (embroidered on a vintage sewing machine, ah yeah)
• Skull & bones paintable/inkable foam stickers
• Skull Beads

(More pics in my Flickr if you want to see closeups, etc)

The Zombie Hand Puppet is completely hand cut, stitched & painted. He is the first of many to come hopefully and it the "poster zombie" for my upcoming Zombie Hand Puppet pattern I hope to have for sale soon-like. The Neck Warmer was serged on my little Bernette & line by line embroidered on my vintage Pfaff 230 sewing machine (love that machine!).

I had a lot of fun making the Hand Puppet & Neck Warmer. After a couple failed attempts I finally figured out what the heck I wanted to make for her. I can't wait to see what everyone else made and I'll be sure to share what I receive!

DIYScene Team September Swap - Pt.2

I received a nice little surprise from Canada this afternoon, my secret swap package!

I didn't recognize the real name of the sender of course, in this day and age of usernames, but I opened to find it was from Daddysgirl/GlamGrenade! Here's what I found inside:

A red hand stamped bat scarf, pumpkin bell earrings, candy, toy bones, spider clutch purse with a big fat spider on it(!), skull fabric, art cover mini notebook, witch finger puppet, a Frankenstein & bats scrapbooking pieces!

The scarf is quite warm and snuggly, made of a sweatshirt type material but without the fuzz. Great for people like me who want to sneeze every time they pull a sweatshirt over their head. The clutch will hold all my makeup and then some. It also has a strap that I can clip on and off, put my keys on and generally keep me from losing my purse! Excellent.

Check out her shop for similar scarves & clutch purses you won't be disappointed.

Urban Threads - machine & hand embroidery

Urban Threads and I got to chatting about skull beads which I always seem to have in abundance. Chatting about skull beads turned into the idea of doing a swap. The swap turned into a wonderful surprise when I opened the box!

Within the magical box of embroidery goodness there was a soft & squishy jersey pillow with 2 crowned skulls, a little purple voodoo dude, mini tote with skull & crossbones, embroidery templates & thread, hand towels: crow on skull & skull with top hat (hidden under the other, sorry!). In my excitement I forgot to include the glow stick bracelets she sent me also.

She can definitely embroidery like no tomorrow! I am one lucky gal.

Check out her site for some amazing designs, tutorials and projects for hand and machine embroidering. This is not your grandma's redwork! You can also find her review of my items and the Etsy Dark Side Team here!

Above are just a few of the items from Etsy Dark Side members that I sent to Urban Threads. I also sent a Maneki Neko and a Skull Gears Pin!
