Here are some of the buttons I am listing on Ebay

Oh buttons on ebay. They take such a long time to list and to make. Ebay has decided not to do dutch autions anymore so I can only sell one button at the time. We will see how it goes. Puts pressure on me to get my site up.

Erin drove to the Mall today!!!!

Oh my gosh. I am teaching my daughter to drive. Today we went to the mall. So exciting. I can't wait until she can drive with total comfort and have her license so I can just look out the window. That is my favorite thing. Yay!!!

Erin and I took pictures today!!!

Sometimes when I see ads for things that women have sewn, I am shocked at how frumpy they look. You can sew and have it look like art. I took some pictures today of some of the clothes I have sewn. My daughter was nice enough to model them for me. I have so many other things. Sewing is so fun and you can make things for yourself that not only fit you but are incredibly comfortable and stylish. Plus you can pick that wonderful linen, cotten and silk fabrics that are so expensive when you buy them readymade. Here are two jackets: Leopard coat (fabric fur) and the lipstick coat (Issey Miyaki vogue pattern) the fabric is velvet and was purchased in downtown Los Angeles off the street. You can find the most incredible fabric downtown. The buttons are lipstick tubes that I found at a vintage store.

The vest is based on the artist Modigliani and I printed out pieces of his art to be sewn into the vest. There is also embroidery and special buttons. enjoy!!!!

Mama is so beautiful!!!

Here is an experiment in photoshop. I scanned in an old photo of my mother, then drew it up in illustrator and transfered it to photoshop to try some of the great filters. Here is the result. Wo!

What to use for the bracelets

This is my daughter Erin holding a card with yarn, string and trim that was put together for use by scrapbookers. You can find any number of fiber combinations like this at craft stores. They make great bracelets. All the fiber matching has already been done for you and you can get a sense of how the bracelet will turn out just by looking at the card. Check out the 2 bracelets I am making from these 2 cards. In the 3rd photo I am adding in some of the black yarns and creating little babbles and things to stitch on the bracelets.
