It isn't enough to have talent!

You also have to have a talent for having talent. How do we know? Is it measured by how much we have sold or by how much money is in the bank or by how much enthusiasm people have when commenting on our work? Of course that always helps. I think talent is measured by the passion you go forth with ones creations. The pleasure it gives you when a project is complete. YIPPEE, it's done and my client loves it! That's talent.
Enjoy my newest crushed velvet 1920's style opera coat, very yummy.

Our winter wonderland

The snow is so peaceful as long as you don't have to go anywhere.

starting on a new project

I'll be designing and making a wonderful red fitted jacket for a customer. We have an appointment for the first fitting this week. I'm using a light weight wool twill, very nice. Keep you posted!!

back to work

A friend recently gave me her prom dress from the 1960's. I was inspired to refashion it into two little girl princes dresses for my little grand daughters. Julia age 2 & Kayla age 3. The original sweetiepies! These are their Christmas gifts so I can't have a picture of them until the new year.

making homemade lasagna YUM YUM

My husband Joseph is an awesome chef. He does all the cooking in our house and all the shopping too. Lucky me!!!! His food is so wonderful, I have cooking amnesia which has been my strategy. We made lasagna over the weekend, he makes his own pasta and the lasagna is no exception. I'm just the helper outer.

It's going to Hawaii

A lovely dress and looks so fabulous on Alice. She will be wearing it in Hawaii this winter, walking the beach looking so sweet. I hope to get a photo of Alice on location wearing the dress. My vision is complete. I'll be making two more dresses for her. We have in mind an Audry Hepburn dress and a Jackie O dress. I will be searching for fabric and starting the projects soon.

whistle while you work

I have been thinking, pondering, creating, designing, enjoying. I was hoping to have some wonderful photos from the fashion show. When I went to take shots of my display there was no photo card in my camera. Oh darn!!
