Valentine's day sewing room mess

This is my sewing room/storage room in my apartment.  Yes, Love Flow Creations takes up half my living space.  Good thing I live alone. LOL  As you can see I have pictures of refashioned clothing all over my walls for inspiration.  They are pages out of Altered Couture Magazine.  I will soon be having two articles published in Altered Couture and I am so excited.  You will have to excuse some sideways pictures. Iphoto hates on me sometimes.  Laters  babe.

A day in Salem part 2

Hubby, mom and I had a fabulous time in Salem yesterday. Stopped in at great harvest Co. for a sample of 3 cheese bread and purchased a cinnimin roll. MMMMyum. We wander around a store called "This and That" I think. They have tons on hats and cowboy boots and vintage clothing. She liked the outfit I was wearing which was mostly my Love Flow Creations. She had never heard of Etsy or Steamunk, so we educated her :-) Jeff picked up a set of dominoes at one of the antique stores, so when my feet started to hurt form walking in my pointy boots, we went over to the Clockwork Cafe, and played a few games. It was my first time playing ever. I totally kicked hubby and mom's tushes. The belly dancing shoe was totally awesome.

Gathering of many hats

Yup, up in the wee early morn again. This is stating to be a habit. I attended the Gathering of Many Hats last night at Ringo's bar. Great food, well priced, very smiley staff, and great customer service.

Music at the park

There are all these woman starting up awesome upcycling blogs lately.  I started one awhile ago.  I tried to post every day, but then when no one is reading it you get discourage and figure why put all that time and effort into it.  But, here I go giving it another shot.  Let's see if I can post everyday for a week.  Then I will go from there.

Today I spent a busy day with the "Housewives Club" eating and shopping and talking and talking and talking.  What we do best.  I went to a live concert in the park here in Beaverton Oregon.  Had a great time and was productive at the same time lacing up afgan skirts.

Here's a peek at the concert and the skirts.....

Me and my crazy smile LOL, some blurry dancers, blurry me, and an awesome shot of me that a professional photographer took, that just so happened to be sitting behind us.

Please not that the "cape" I am wearing is one of the afghans I threaded cording through.  And the dress is the big poncho looking thing made from recycled tee shirts.  The colors go together fabulously.  The necklace I purchased at Muzis on Main in Tigard, Oregon.

The poncho later sold to my biggest fan on Etsy.  Thanks Fern!!!!

Till tomorrow..............

A little bit of everything

One of these nights
One of these lost and lonely nights
You're gonna find out pretty momma
Who turns on your light.....

Yet another night of hardly sleeping.  I might of got 2 hours in maybe.  That makes 9 hour of total sleep for the last 4 days. Ugh!  The joys of being manic. :-)

You gotta love the manic side of my personality.  Love it or hate it, it's none of my business how you feel about me. :-)

So here is some new stuff....

I know, there's a whole lot going on here.  We have t-shirt skirts, country blue floral skirt with vintage lace on the lower half.  Then there's the Little Miss Sunshine dress, that is just to cute for words.  Not to mention the tie-dyed dress with monkeys.  I made all of these in 1 day.  Yep, I sew big bunches.

I have a great big craft fair today and tomorrow.  Mom will be here in a few hours to help me, as she always does.  The show runs from 10-8 both days.  Lots of work, but totally worth it.

Everything on this post except the 1st skirt have been sold.  The craft fair I was speaking of was Cracked Pots and we did exceptionally well!

Till next time......

The wedding that never was

Hey all,

I took a trip over to the Assistance League here in Beaverton and scored on lots of great clothes to refashion for my son's wedding.  Here are the jacket and two coordinating skirts.  I also finished the skirt that goes with the jacket. I just haven't got a pic yet, but it is gorgeous.

Update:  Sadly, my sons wedding never took place.  They ended up breaking up. :-(

Bad girl, bad, bad, girl

I've been a bad, bad, girl.  I haven't been posting my blogs.  Shame on me.

So, what's new?

The good, the bad, and the ugly craft sales.

Kicked selling booty today at Art Court in Beaverton, yea!!!

And now to some pics....

This skirt and vest that were made to go together sold today at the Art Court to 2 different woman at the same time.  Very interesting. :-)

 This skirt is having wedding dress fantasies.  But she pulls off all the lacy details.

That's my input for today.  Look for the sunny side of life. :-)
