Raining Dreams

Anchors away

September 28, 2006 · 16 Comments

This whole not sewing thing is a little odd O_o On the one hand, I wouldn’t mind doing a little creating, but on the other it’s kind of nice.
I’m trying out screen printing. My mom laughed at me for starting yet another thing :D I obviously don’t have any of the correct tools, but I am trying out the cheapy version to see what I think. The glue is going everywhere but since when do I not make huge messes?

This is actually a very old project. I made it to wear to a wedding in like… um… I am going to say June?? These pictures were taken very quickly, and, I have nothing better to show for it. One of these days I will buy a nice camera of my own and try to take half-decent photos.
Anyway, on to the pictures:
anchors

(note: I think I was half done teasing my hair, thats whats wrong with it… at least I hope I wasn’t done O_o)

detail
(Isn’t that the most adorable fabric ever?? I love it! This one is closer to the actual color of the dress.)

Did you notice I didn’t block out my face? lol. I am making a tard face in the first picture, but honestly I don’t care right now.

Hrm, what to talk about? I really wish I could be more interesting on my blog, but I talk better in real life then I do online. Maybe after more project it will get better.

My car might be able to come today! I really hope he does. As soon as possible (meaning next week X_X) I will take pictures of my* baby and you can all know his name as well. Hopefully he doesn’t break down and die before then. ha.
I will stop rambling now. To end this all, I am going to bless you all with some vintage hilarity. O.K., so it isn’t hilarious, but I think it’s kind of cute and funny.

*Note: The car is not mine per se. I call it mine and my mom is always reminding me that it is not mine it is hers and my dad’s. I will still call it mine, but it isn’t… yet.

*edit* I am in the middle of a small personal swap, but I was wondering if anyone would like to do a personal swap with me? Preferably someone who lives farther away and has access to all of the goodies unavailable here :D Anyway, it doesn’t really have to be extremely crafty. Maybe some small things: fabric, magazines, candy, small projects, etc. If you might be slightly interested, leave a comment and I can give you my e-mail address :) If no one wants to, it’s not a huge deal. I might just join on Craftster….

    Okay, SO for Starters, I LOVE THAT FABRIC!!!! where did you get it?! and for seconders, Where did you get your instructions for screen printing? I have been all over the internet, and only found like two sites With GOOD INSTRUCTIONS!! And the rest have Screened-T’s for sale at like $55. So If you have one that actually makes sense, would you mind passing it on?;o)

    Hi, there. The owl trim on my purse is from Daytona Trimming in NYC. They carry common stuff, so you might be able to find it somewhere else. Thanks for stopping by. I love reading your blog. You make awesome clothes. :)

    Hey Thanks for the tutorials!! I had already seen the “Cow/Friend” One, So I guess we were looking at about the same one! Good luck to you! I will have to try too, and we can both post pictures

    Such a pretty dress! If you’re looking for a swapper from England, I’d love to send you a parcel! Swaps are so much fun :p x

    There are websites just for swapping that you can sign up on. I did it, and got a few swaps and penpals. PenPal Garden is a good one.

    It’s really, really cute. Smile!

    By the way, I’ve just seen your note about swaps. I remember ages ago we (not just me! You too!) said something about a personal swap. So if you want to do one just let me know, not right now but maybe in a couple of weeks? nushbush(at)gmail.com

    I’d also love to do a personal swap with you! I’m a little busy with 2 craft swaps I’m in right now, so maybe sometime in November we can plan something :D That would be awesome!

    Loooooove the anchor fabric, too cute! I really like the neckline of that dress. You make the coolest things! xoxo.

    Loving the new header – so pretty! And I really hope you’re kidding about all those knitting projects… :p

    Happy happy. I love knitting.

  • nush // October 24, 2006 at 1:10 pm

    I wrote a longer comment and it disappeared. Anyway. As I’m washing my hands off the craft fair, I’m not all yours, so email me again about swapping, love.

  • futuregirl // October 24, 2006 at 9:51 pm

    I absolutely love the new header! Glad you’re relaxing and getting to a better place. It’ll all work out. :)
