Ghostly

Still struggling with getting my butt into the right rhythm and on the right schedule. I think this might take awhile.

So, while I struggle to stay awake long enough to sew, you can feast your eyes on this Mondays offering:  slightly ghostly, but totally lovely.

Rest and Relaxation

Kicking the week off with a 4am wake up call has inspired within me a fierce desire to lay about in a sunshiney meadow.  Lazy fuzzy bumbling bumble bees bumping from flower to flower, dragonflies perching on my toe to see what I’m up to.  The sun warming my face, a good book to keep me company.

Dance

The first couple of images from the dance photo shoot have been released–they’re AMAZING!  (you might remember my posts about making the costume for this from about a month ago)

These beautiful images inspired today’s post.  I’ve always been fascinated by ballet.  I wanted to be a ballerina, of course, when a child.  Sadly, my talents did not lie in that arena.  Happily, I can feast my eyes on the beauty that is ballet anytime I so choose.

Vogue Korea

I’m not generally a Vogue kind of girl, but I make an exception for Vogue overseas–especially Vogue Korea.

Every image I have ever seen from Vogue Korea is beautiful.

Darker Side of Things

Some pretty for your Monday.

I initially started out looking for Dark Victorian inspired images, but that quickly devolved into “Ooooo!  That’s pretty!” territory.

So, you take what you get. 😉

I’m off to work on some orders, as usual.

A peplum, a tunic, and some ruffled leggings are all in my near future.

In talks with a potential customer regarding a pretty cool costume…..

Also:  totally rearranged three rooms of my house yesterday, after proclaiming I would rest and relax all day.

It’s still not done to my liking, but it’ll do for the week at least.

Was your weekend productive?

darkseven

I hope so.  I hoe you have a lovely day, too–filled with random fashion images!  Oh, wait–MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!  Well, there, you can strike one thing off your to-do list for the day.
