Vintage Fabric Headbands

Some of the vintage fabric headbands that I have created lately. They are made so you can wear them fully extended as in these pictures or hand pleat them before putting them on for a variety of looks. A pleated option seen in the following example.

Hair Accessories

First a well deserved beer on the back deck(first one of 2013 - on the deck not beer) just got done some yardwork. Still lots to do.

Hairpins with purple leather

Hairpins with black leather

Have also been busy the last week or so making a variety of hairpins. The little bows are made from repurposed leather clothing that was no longer was loved or had a home. Now they have a new lease on life. Soon I will have a variety of natural and brown also.

Today's Schedule ;0)

Post some pictures of new products - check. It is only a sampling of some of the new things I have been working on. More to come soon.

Print and mail an application for upcoming show this year. The first time applying to this particular show and it is a larger one. 

Finish a couple of simple alterations I have waiting on my sewing table.

Get Connie's skirts started and perhaps one even completed today. Special Order

Avoid coffee shop my favourite place of procrastination or I won't get much else done on my schedule today.

So that is my schedule for today. Here's hoping I achieve sticking to it and that tomorrows includes the plumbers I have been waiting for - it would be awesome to have the plumbing issues solved.  

New Accessories

 One of my goals: to bring the muff back as an essential fashion accessory. They are so useful when you need finger dexterity but its COLD outside.

Tie Wrist Cuffs available in a wide range of colour combinations. 
These are both some new accessories I have been creating lately.
