Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland

Rosette Creations and New Overalls

Hello my lovely friends. I entered my very first Swap this month. It was a Rosette Swap. I am so excited about sending it. It is going to be a surprise. I can't wait for this special lady to receive her gifts. I don't know her and she doesn't know me, but she sounds wonderful, and I am so glad to be able to send her this.

 

I made a large Rosette Hair clip, a romantic wrist cuff, and a pillow.

This large Rosette hair clip was made out of vintage raw silk. I found a whole bolt for $10 at an antique store last year. One of my favorite buys ever. I love this fabric. I then made a card to attach it to. I used corrugated board. After lots of stamping, some lace, crepe paper, a paper flower, and my favorite white rabbit tag, well the card was as cool as the rosette.

My large gift was this one of a kind Romantic wrist cuff. Made out of vintage laces and lots of great fabrics with some awesome trims. The rosette is adorned with pearl and rhinestone for bling.

   

 
 
 

I love this on. It is absolutely enchanting.

I had to have something to wrap it around for traveling and for display, so I added a little pillow to my gift. It can be used to hold your wrist cuff, or for anything else.

  

I love it. And in keeping with the rosette theme. I added a little button and lace rosette.

I cant wait until she gets it. I hope it makes her smile as much as it made me smile.

I also finished another order today for custom overalls. 

     

I guess I was just in the rosette mood, because I even managed to put one on this little girl's overalls

Have a Wonderfully Mad and Curiously Enchanted Day......

New Year, new projects, new adventures

Hey everyone. Well I hope you all had a wonderful evening and everyone celebrated and made it home safely. I finished my shelves in my studio last night, and today I worked on the entry to my studio which I call the rabbit hole. I love it.

Take a look at some of the new and fantastic things I have done.

This is before. Horrible. What a dreadful mess.

This is the entrance to the rabbit hole. Alice and friends will greet you.

I'm always late, late, very late.

Spot of tea? 2 lumps or 4? 

Everyone must wear a hat to the tea party. What would a mad tea party be without a hat, and around my studio you never know when a happen could just tea party (Strike that, Reverse). I always have an extra.

This is the new shelving unit. Huge. Love it. I told Johnny that now to my list of other talents, he could add Bad A-- Carpenter. He bought the wood and cut it to size. I put this sucker together in one evening. I still have to paint, and put some molding on it. Oh and then of course some beads, fringe, and other adornments, and then it will be at home with the rest of the family. 

Here are just of the few friends that are also a part of my wonderful world...

Juniper...

The key that opens the door. Which one I have no idea. I have so many. It doesnt matter much though, we never really know which door we want to go through, because we never much know where we are going.

This is the latest little tote I made. I needed some red for the store for Valentines day.
