That was our trip!!! It was refreshing, and so much fun.
I made these earrings this afternoon and gave them as a present to my mom... :-)
A couple days ago I sewed this dress out of my old Jasmine Halloween costume. I cut off the end of the pant leg for the skirt, and added lace and ruffle. Then I paired it with some of the decorative fabric on the old waistband, cut some slits in it, and tied it in the back. I also attempted to take photos of a previously sewn crinoline/hoop skirt style thing, crafted of copper wire and gauzy fabric, but it was too ugly to take any pretty shoots of.
I knit these lovely cuffs/fingerless gloves over the course of about a week - I finished them over the weekend. Please excuse the scratch-mark-thing on the mirror.
The title is kind of self-explanatory. Admire the seedling - it's a Yellow Brandywine Tomato.
