Looking for Some Inspiration?

I recently discovered A New Dress A Day. This girl is quite amazing in taking rather tacky and ugly dresses and transforming them cute, fashionable dresses. All for a $1 a day! If you need some creative inspiration or motivation this girl will surely help you in that department. :)

Way Too Long!

I have been totally neglectful of this blog and I apologize greatly my loves! Though now that I come to think of it do I really have any readers? That's besides the point anyway... None-the-less I do wish to start posting more and being helpful to the sewing/crafting community.

I come across so helpful techniques and tutorials online weekly. For me, and of course for you, I thought I would start compiling them here. Kind of an easy way for me to find them again (because I admit my browser bookmarks are atrocious!) and it'll be something helpful to other crafters out there. A majority will be sewing related, because lets face it that's what I do most, but there will be an occasional non-sewing one too.

I have started making and designing my clothes recently so I'll be sharing those projects here as well. Maybe even pattern reviews? Would anyone be interested in that?

Well, I got a bunch of fabric from Walmart today (SIDE NOTE ALERT: My Walmart had a "Fabric Road Show" and is getting rid of their fabric section. They have $3 5 yard bolts on sale. YES. 5yrds for $3. Great poly - cotton blends great for clothing or otherwise. I would highly suggest you check it out), plus other fabrics. I'll be sure to post them when I'm done!

It Takes Time

The batch of charms I was working on last week didn't turn out well. I believe it was caused by some excess moisture in the air while they were setting. Oh well, even after years of working with resin I still get bad batches every now and then. Just goes to show that you can still learn new things even if didn't think there was more to learn. So long story short, my first listings aren't going to be up until next week. Despite the set back I'm still excited!

I hope that once I earn some money from these I can start sewing garments, such as hats, purses, corsets and maybe a few other things.

Welp, that is all for now. :)
