    Show us what you have Crafted!

    I made a snood using this pattern http://www.knitting-crochet.com/crochet/persno.html Used red cotton yarn. I have no hair to fill it though, my hair is too short. So that's why it doesn't look filled out.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    This is my persian lamb coat and muff. I got this 2 years ago, just never posted this. This is in MINT condition. I got it from a local antique store who bought out one lady's estate. The guy said they didn't have any kids and she spent all her money on coats, purses, and gloves. So I got this...

    Beauty Bargains

    powder looks horrible on me if my skin is dry. to overcome this, i put on extra mosturizer on before applying the powder. i don't have this problem in the summer. only winter.

    Show us your hair do's....

    to me, it kinda looks like some clear rings were sewn onto the ends (at the top of her head) and then ribbon was added to tie it tight and have a bow on top of her head. as for the bottom, maybe she just tucks it a certain way? i'd love to see one of these up close. i love head accessories.

    Do I have to curl my hair to be vintage accurate?

    adaveen: i'm crocheting a snood as we speak! i'm almost done with it. :) unfortunately, i have short hair. not enough to fill the snood. i think i may get a fake mini-wig, like a ponytail one and use that to fill the snood.

    What do the Men of the Lounge want for Valentine's Day?

    if you have some more disposable income and a heaping-load of confidence... how about a sexy photograph of you that was professionally taken. like a pinup picture. someday i will do this. "someday" being the key word

    Crochet anyone?

    well, i really took my time. it's almost done. i just have to sew the elastic band on it which i'll most likely do tonight. i had to go to the store today to buy some. once i figured the pattern out, it went fast. but i don't think this is a bus-ride kind of pattern. you have to count rows...

    Ladies Globe Trotting Hat?

    hmmm good idea! now that i'm thinking....i don't have any winter dresses (vintage or modern) anyway. my closet is in sad shape. i need a whole wardrobe makeover. i'll just wear my summer vintage dress and freeze. i'll be ok. i have enough padding to keep me warm.

    Crochet anyone?

    retrobabydoll: i highly recommend just making your scarves and a bunch of dishcloths before you start on any snoods. i've been crocheting for years and consider myself somewhat experienced and i just started my first snood last week. for me, it wasn't hard, but there were a few spots where i...
