I’m not doing a very good job at keeping my blog updated this year, am I.
Well the last month has been very busy, I’ve been working fulltime & it’s really hot at the moment, so I have no energy to do anything after a long day at work.
I also turned 30 =) had a little party with friends, got lots of nice pressies & had alot of fun. =D
About a week or so after my birthday, My Sweetie surprised me with my lovely new mobile phone. =D I’ve been talking about buying this phone since I heard about it & so far I have no complaints. It’s small & red & pretty, which is of course what it most important

I recently went though my yarn stash & decided I need to use some of it up.
I had quite alot of baby cotton, so I figured I’d make a new ripple blanket.
As the yarn was called baby & the colours all feel abit baby like, I decide to make a smaller ripple, I haven’t decided yet if I’ll give it away or keep it for my future. Only time will tell, but atleast I’m using up the yarn & it’s so relaxing to crochet ripples. =D

Last week I did a photoshoot with work that had a wedding theme. We had made some wedding inspired jewellery, which was so much fun to make & we used some of my dresses for the shoot. So anyway here’s the link, if anyone wants me to translate the page just let me know. =D

Pärlgrossisten’s Wedding Special.

Yesterday I did a photoshoot for work, with a wedding theme, we used some of my dresses. =) I will link to the page as soon as it’s up & running.
I can’t say I look like a model, but it sure is fun doing it. The only thing I have a slight problem with is when the photographer wants me to smile a big smile, it just feels so fake, I need someone in the background to do something stupid. =D

The red dress is complete & has been delivered to my lovely friend Erica. She is very happy with her dress, as am I =D We were both doing a happy dance, I’m always nervous before I drop of a finished dress incase something is wrong & I have to fix it, luckily I didn’t have to this time. =)

This dress is for my lovely friend Erica, she’s going to be a bridesmaid & she asked me to make a 50’s style dress for her =)
I just have abit of hand sewing left to do & then I’ll start making a little clutch to match. More photos to come later, I had so much fun making this dress, especially the underskirt, even if hand gathering tulle is boring. =) But I’ll be doing it again soon, I remembered that I don’t have a underskirt for my own 50’s dress that I made a long time ago.

This is a good way to start the morning, meters & meters of tulle waiting to be cut for an underskirt. Time to wake up my sewing machine, woohoo! =D

I’ve started on the red 50’s dress for my lovely friend Erica, all parts are cut out & waiting to be sewn together. Today I put the lining together, which is one of the more boring parts. =) I’m looking forward to making the tulle underskirt & I’m feeling inspired, lots of ideas in my head that need to be made, but first I must finish the Alice costumes. =D

Forgot to put up these photos on tuesday, but here they are. =)
I’ve started my next order, a red 50’s style dress that a friend is going to wear when she’s a bridesmaid. When I’m done with that I’ll get back to work on the Alice costumes.

Well I haven’t updated in a month, sorry, life has been really busy since my last update. I had to work extra because my co-worker was sick & I haven’t been feeling too great myself for the past month, stubborn cold that refuses to go away completely.
Otherwise things have been good, I’ve had family visiting & hanging out with good friends & laughing alot & I mean alot!!!!!! =D

The dress for S is finished, I’ll put up some photos tomorrow. The corset didn’t turn out exactly as I had hoped but she was still happy, that will teach me to try a new pattern on a new body, should always try new patterns on myself first.
