Bella's Mittens

I finished my Bella mittens this evening! :) I don't know if there's anything quite so satisfying as binding off a knitting project. What has seemed like a never ending project suddenly seems like I only started it yesterday and I have to catch myself before I get too ambitious and cast on another pair. The pattern was easy enough, but the cross stitch palms are time consuming and can get tiring after awhile. I will try to take better pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

But for now...I must go to sleep...

Feeling Persuaded

I watched Persuasion the other day and it has done nothing to help cure my Regency mood. :) I'm even more desperate to pull out my fabric stash and make something. Maybe I will do that today....

I really love Anne's pale blue dress.
I love the sleeves and the neckline...
It's just lovely. :) And now I'm in the mood to read the novel again. There's time for all that aside from all the wedding stuff I have to do, right?

Regency

I've been in the mood all week to make Regency clothes. I don't have time right now to take on a huge project...but I'm trying to dream up something small that I could make to satisfy me until I can make a dress or something.
What era are you in the mood for lately?

Having Some Fun...

Talking a little break from wedding plans to update the shop with new spring accessories. My how I love Spring!

More to come...

Back in Business

After two months of wedding dress idea hunting, bridesmaid dress fabric shopping, tux shops, etc, I am back home with enough stuff to keep me busy until the wedding. :) I ended up finding a wedding dress that I LOVE and was on sale so cheap I bought it and I'm going to add some stuff to it. So, although I'm not going to make my dress from scratch, I still get to add some 'me' to it and I'm much more satisfied with that. The concept of making my own wedding dress was getting a little overwhelming so I'm glad I was able to find something so perfect! I'm still going to keep a photo diary of the changes I'm making to the dress which I will share on here after the wedding. :) In the meantime, I opened my shop up again and the 50% off sale is still going on a little longer! I'm hoping I will have some time here and there in between wedding sewing to add some new things. And now that I'm home....maybe I will blog more. I'm hoping I will because I miss it and all of you. How is your Spring going? ~Anna Kristine

Disney Inspired Wedding Gowns

In all my wedding dress research I ran across this collection by Alfred Angelo...it took me back to my girlish dreams of being a princess. :)
