Sea Man

I was literally delighted this morning as I was making this first Seahoodie, notice the tiny whales on the hood lining, I love the big hood, the big cuffs, the big zipper, and the moderately sized octopus.

Next is the wet octopus reconstructed sweatshirt, with a zipper in the front! The fabric is from  Volcom sweatshirt sleeves (next up, what I'm gonna do with the torso) It's a wet puss sweatshirt, so dirty, but not really.....

Fall skirts for 2010

oh! fun wide yoke skirts for all your fabulous fall frolicking! These skirts are screaming to be worn with your favorite sweater (or kombat knit raglan tunic) and a pair of boots. I know many of us dread pleats but the flattering yoke on these skirts make them work, also, POCKETS! that's all.

A new season, a new pair of stretchy pants

I'm still making some bubble dresses, this one has a flannel bodice with wilderness animals on it, it's lined with the same yummy soft fabric to keep your titties warm this fall. I can picture this dress with a cardigan, and a jean jacket, perhaps a rustic pair of cowboy boots....Also the feather earring is something I want to make more of, one long asymmetrical earring, what do you think?

This dress I want to call the ladies of the Renaissance and plaid. This dress has a fall feel but could be a spring piece too,depending on how you wear it.

I'm gonna make stretchy pants this year! Notice the fun zippers at the bottom, oh yeah. This top is new too, just completed the first one last night, yummy black silky fabric that is so comfy, super fun for layering in the fall and winter, wool vests? yes! cable knit sweaters? hell yeah! This top has black ribbing on the sleeves and on the bottom, the back has a little opening with a pretty frog closure.

Tiny fall preview

A new season is creeping up on us, and I'm getting ready by making warm sweatshirts, tunics, and even a few strapless dresses. I love how hounds tooth looks with autumn hues, and I'm especially excited about the new bunnies I'll be applying to lots of warm tunics with cowls and hoods. The bird of flight sweatshirt, and funny bunny tunic are both for sale at my etsy shop.

shopping on etsy

I've been spending lots of time on etsy lately, and I decided to test my shopping skills. Shopping on etsy is so much more satisfying than frequenting big businesses, it's very clear how much little artisans really appreciate your appreciation of what they love to do ( I totally know how they feel) I wonder sometimes if people notice how happy people make me when they buy an iteam I made, from me? Anyway, here are my new and fantastic Etsy purchases complete with the adorable note and packaging from http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeanDoll I loved her! I'm def. gonna check her shop out on a regular basis.

I love zombie cameo earrings! The horsey broach is for my lovely friend Melisa.

I really like the feel of v neck shirts, the same comfort of a t shirt with a little touch of sexy. I want to get a few more to wear with high waisted skirts for the fall. Astronaut shirt from http://www.etsy.com/shop/zenthreads
Great shirts, and super affordable.

What I wear and what I do

As many of you know I work at the Pretty Parlor on Capital Hill 2 days a week, when working in such a pretty place a girl has to make herself pretty every morning. This week was nice and warm so I wore a Native Bohemian look,

Feather hair piece: from the Parlor by Violet Magpie http://violetmagpie.com/
Beaded earrings: Value village
Brown embroidered tank top: Urban Outfitters (2005)
High waist-ed denim pleated skirt: My mom made it!
Brown embroidered wedges: Value Village
I also work pretty hard at the Pretty Parlor, I'm sweepin' the floors, and cleanin' out the litter box (pretty little Petunia) and using Anna Bananas fantastic cutting table to cut out all my fun fashions, so it's important to wear sensible shoes and be able to bend over and move around so on Monday I wore something a little more comfy
White flower: Diaso
Navy and white polka dot dress: this belonged to my mom
Wide red stretchy belt (such a great piece to pull together outfits and shoes!): Aprie http://www.aprie.com/Aprie.html

Tiny whales, dinasour sheets and white curtains

What a lovely day, to drop off some new garments at Reconstructed Clothing! I'm happy to share a few of the dresses with you, on a person (me). Yay, first of all a whale dress, (I got this fabric from my friend Beca Laguire) this one I call "tiny whales swimming in a sea of flowers". Second of all, I adore making dresses with old curtains, the bubbles always turn out so pretty and sweet, and then a dinasour dress, it's made out of sheets, so fun, and lined with a very lux white satin. Visit Reconstructed clothing next time your downtown, Kristen is a sweetheart, and her doggie Harley is nice too! too.http://www.yelp.com/biz/reconstructed-clothing-co-seattle
