Mmm. I love Etsy! It's a place that I can truly call me own. Yet, in the same way I do not on it, because it is a website, not a tangible thing. Oh, well. I still love using it!


As you can see, I just posted another dress :) These two (blue and black) were from the same pattern. I wore the black one to Homecoming in '08, and the blue one in '09.

I love this fitted-bodice-flared-skirt style. It flatters nearly every figure (I have yet to find one it did not flatter) and it's so stinkin' pretty! Especially on my dear friend Niki :)

These pictures are also from my grand photo shoot. Keep watching for more soon...

another great dress listing

Last weekend, some friends helped me with a photo shoot of my dresses. I now have good-quality pictures to post on Etsy :) Here is my latest listing:

Formal Gown w/ Double-Gathered Bodice

I am planning to post a new dress every few days now. Keep on the lookout!

In other news, I gave up facebook for Lent--mostly as a motivator for doing homework instead of wasting time. I will be sharing other information on my personal blog:

Happy Sewing!

the joy of knitting

Check it out, bloggers: Stitch Princess can knit!!!! This is a photo of a lace trim I am making for a crocheted purse of the same yarn.

My oldest sister came up to Indiana (from Texas) for Christmas. She knits frequently, and is part of a knitting club. And she taught me!

I am discovering that knitting is so much fun! But, I'm torn. Which is better: knitting or crocheting? I like both.

In my loads of spare time, I plan to do some of each, to decide which I prefer. Or, perhaps I will just keep up on both :)

I took a J-term class this year (2 weeks of one class before the semester began). I actually did have free time then. So, what did I do with my free time? I made scarves for my roommate and suitemates! Now, I'm making a trim for a purse, as pictured above.

I just love knitting!

a new dress on Etsy!

Yay! I just posted another dress on my Etsy site. Check it out: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37256916



I made this dress last weekend and wore it to a wedding (in my profile pic). It's a fun little party/cocktail dress! It's so comfortable and modest. I love it, so I decided to post it on Etsy.

I really need to do a photo shoot with my new camera and a good, but plain, background. The pictures on my Etsy site aren't the best.

When I get back to school (mid-January), I plan to grab my friends as models, some more artist friends as photographers, and bedsheets (cream or black) as backgrounds and work some magic! But, for now, these will have to suffice.
