"Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry fields.."

part of my field..
..well, almost anyway. I have a field of tulle-netting right here. Seems like everything is covered in snow white tulle.. soon to be a brides underskirt. I have high hopes for this! right now it doesn't look like much though.. 
some wedding presents
This is the first time of snow white sewing for me..apparently. Didn't even have thread to match. Turns out that every time I've made something white it's been off-white..like cream..or seashell. My wedding dress wasn't even white, it was cream and champagne colored..then again, that wasn't an accident. I'm not a fan of white. And then there was also the obvious non-virginity.

 

But speaking of my wedding dress.. It has such a nice place to be now! My love, my husband, brought me a present yesterday: a me-sized mannequin! and to try it out I put my wedding dress on it..now it wont have to be hidden away in the closet anymore, yeei! Looking forward to all kinds of cool things I could make on it! It's even dark red..my favorite. 


off-white..like always.
And speaking of white..my side project is slowly coming along. I now have my period underwear made out of an old sheet, some left over lace, cute little buttons from my mother-in-law and two badly fitting tops from my post-pregnancy time. And yes, when it comes to my own things I favor the nature friendly recycling and re-using way..so much is lost when you search for new things instead of looking at what is already there. Also it gives things such a used bohemian look! 
When I learn how to do white-embroidery I'll write "liberty" on my chemise.

This time I decided to leave out my jumping-around, pale and naked face! just dress this time. 



 Lastly, before I fall asleep, this is just the cutest thing..My son loves to look into my lit up dollhouses..so I made an older one as a night light. 



Good night!

Life in a box

If I had more time I would make lots of these..! a world in a box. This one is a couple of years old. 
(in case someone didn't figure it out..the hole is for looking in.)


..too bad it looks kind of crappy on the picture..but you get the idea.




 Maybe soon I'll make one for my Lus who is way too fascinated by it for a soon 3 year old.

Seamstress diaies, nr.2

Dear diary! 
I'm preparing for the most important project I've ever done for someone else..the fantasy princess weddingdress. Today I am going to start planning the pattern and decide how much fabric is needed for the underskirt. Good Luck to me!
I'm also going to finish up the 1890's shaping corset that goes under my side project..it's the girliest thing I've ever made! for my self I mean..all purple and white-laced.
And finally, but probably not today, I'm gonna make a birthday present for my co-seamstress friend. 

Hopefully little Lus will be up for some button choosing today!

But first some sandwich and rose hip tea with my son..

"Change Places!"
