I usually try to write a post every day, or at least every other day, but the last few days I've been swamped! I had three orders to get out by yesterday and I had a whole bunch of projects I've been working on. I finally used my sewing machine (!) and made a dress for Lucy. I think it turned out alright but not perfect. I will probably list it but I wouldn't sell this particular one to anybody. I'd just use it to show the style and what I can add to it (a.k.a. check out the rhinestone ladybug.) Besides, Lucy really likes it.

Lucy loves ladybugs! |

I also made several rhinestone t-shirts. A few of them I used transfers for that I already had but I also made some of my own transfers which takes a lot more time but I'm really happy with how they turned out.

This is my design, rhinestones completely placed by me from my own template |

From a purchased transfer |
|
I hand placed these rhinestones, too |
|
This one is for Imma's teacher (don't tell her!) It's from a transfer but it would be very simple to make a similar template. |
|
This one is also from a purchased transfer but would be easy to do something similar. |
I finished the Princess Lolly tutu!

And after the lollipops. It took me 7 hours to make these felt lollipops and attach them to the dress. Yipes! |
I was also asked to make a felt owl mask for a huge project I'll be making soon for a birthday party in April. I'm super excited about this project! I wasn't sure if I could make a felt owl mask or not but I did and I really liked making it. In fact, I liked it so much, I made a Valentine's Day one, too!

Original owl mask. I think next time I will make the eye wholes bigger. |

Valentine's Owl Mask. The pink you see through the eye wholes is the elastic band. I could't get either girl to hold still long enough to take a picture with it on!

I also made two tutus this week for a new customer in Pennsylvania and three tutu kits for a very nice woman in New York. She's going to use them at a baby shower! The guests are going to make tutus for the new baby. What an awesome idea! Wouldn't it be so sweet to give your little girl a tutu that your family and friends made for her at her baby shower? I love that idea!
I also made this Rock 'n' Roll Teen Tutu for a giveaway winner and I love how it turned out. She's just too cute! See, I told you you're never too old for a tutu!

Super chic Rock 'n' Roll tutu |
|
If I looked this good in a tutu, I'd wear one everyday! |
I'm also still working on an infinity scarf, a couple more t-shirt designs, and I think I'm going to make more felt masks.
What have y'all been up to this weekend??
You did have a busy weekend, all of your projects turned out wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI worked in my studio on a few custom orders and we also stepped out for a little fun in the snow and went to the Snowfest this weekend... Blogged about it, here's the link if you'd like to see some of the snow and ice sculptures: http://trinastrinketts.blogspot.com/2013/01/zehnders-snowfest-2013.html
