Oh Kitty! Everything you've made is so cool, I love the 1st clock and the bottlecap jewelry is so clever! Where can I buy a pair of earrings?

Also, I didn't "make" this per se, but it is a fine piece of handiwork... my bedroom! The previous resident was a longtime smoker and the cleanup and painting was a very long and tedious process!

hey Thora, thanks for your interest!

If you want a pair of earrings, I'd be happy to make you a pair. I can do them with the french wires like the ones shown, or if you prefer lever-backs or some other earring style, I can do that too.

For the vintage caps, I put a clear glaze over the painted design to keep it from scratching. If you want a vintage cap style, here are the ones I have

Or if you want fun ones, I can use any kind of decorative paper - I have polka dots, gingham, flames, and can do stars or other designs (including designs from playing cards, if you want earrings with spades on them or something), if you have something in mind

Feel free to PM me (I just wanted to throw some of this info out there, in case anyone else is interested, though someone should let me know if this is inappropriate for FL) and we'll work something out. (btw, the earrings are <$10, depending on the cap style)

Kitty you do awesome work! I love the record clock with dice and rhinestones. Your room looks fabulous.. the matt/satin stripes and tedius trim... you're a real trooper! I LOVE room redos. Looks like your house has great details.

Wow wow wow Kitty T! I love it. What a great room redux. Even with those few pictures I can totally tell what the new.

I love the bottlecap jewelry. Any chance you could do a bracelet of them? I'm not really an earring girl.

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Ladies,

If anyone wants to inquire about having KittyT (and who wouldn't, I love the bottlecap stuff myself!) or for that matter anyone else who makes stuff, make something for them, can you please just PM the person in question and do all the wheeling and dealing there?


Thanks for understanding.

Dad's Blanket Finally Done!

I started this before my Dad's birthday as a gift for him, and finally finished it about a month ago. Here are a few pictures:

Here it's folded in half and spread on the dining table:

Here is a closeup of the stitch pattern and yarn - colors are not true in this picture - it's a dark red with multi-color flecks and a sage green:

Here it is spread on the sofa -gives somewhat of an idea of the size (it covers the top of a double size bed):

That is astoundingly beautiful! I wish I could make my hands work like that, but I just can't. I admire people who can crochet and knit. What a lovely gift!

I made my cousin's senior portraits, does that count? LOL

 

[goldwyn girl]

Hamilton_Honey, spectular!!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Kim_B, of course it counts.

I made 'stocking gloves' for my stockings. I wanted something that was clear in the front, but cute, and I backed the fabric with a heavy interfacing so they would stand up on their own. I also made sure that there were no rought edges so Id be snag free

Each one can hold about 2 pairs, but Im prolly gonna make a few more sets for my tights too.

Terrific idea LD!:eusa_clap
That pink is adorable. Is the cream fabric witht the flowers vintage? It's charming.

 

[RaasAlHayya]

Those are lovely pouches, LD...so clever!

[RetroModelSari]

Wow! Those are truely a great idea!!! I should make somethink like that some time... Today I made finishing touches on a cute capri-jeans and a top... Maybe I´ll be able to post some pics next week

No, its not a vintage fabric, but has that feel

Im just using up as much of my lightweight cotton scraps as I can.

I really like em!

[ShooShooBaby]

i love those pouches - what a great idea! i'm envisioning you making a whole series of matching items for clothing storage purposes!

i've been using my mom's stocking pouch for years, the accordion-fold type... but it's vinyl and is now starting to crack, so it might be time to use it for something less delicate and make something else...

 

[Vanessa Anne]

How amazing is that!!!!

Hamilton Honey That blanket is amazing!

I'm learning to knit - I'm working on a tea cozy, and I must say I totaly am in awe of that blanket!

 

[Kim_B]

I haven't been feeling very vintagey lately...so nothing in that department. Like I said last time, if senior photos count, then I've been working my tush off on those, and making more jewelry. You all have made such lovely things!!

 

[Lady Day]

Small needed stuff.

Howdy ladies.

Ive taken a brake from clothes (altho I have some clamdiggers Ive been meaning to go through with), to knock out some much needed items.

My first tote. Yay piping!!

I had enough scrap to make this bag and line it with this flower pattern It turned out pretty well. Put purse feet on it an everything!

I also made some glasses cases. I got my vintage frames filled with a prescription, and also the old red ones Ive had for years so I made some cases that kinda match the glasses.

Note the sunglasses case matches my tote....

Lastly, here is another hat I made from the dress I posted earlier. I was not liking the fit of that wrap dress I made with this fabric, so I cut it up and made this hat. This one turned out cute.

Thanks ladies!
