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.
This week I’m featuring an item that was out of stock for quite some time–and also happens to be one of my best sellers.
My velveteen capelets are, if I do say so myself, rather fabulous.
My solid version was featured on brides.com a couple of years ago, and I still get traffic from the site.
These were unavailable for awhile. I’ve recently re-listed them as custom/made to order options. Not sure why this didn’t occur to me sooner.
This one is customize-able in color and trim options.
A lot of brides have ordered these. I love learning what people are wearing my creations for–and I love getting pictures even more! 😉
I initially created these as part of my Little Red Riding Hood costumes, but had so many requests for just the capelet that I went ahead and started making them a separate option.
The inside of my serger in always filled with red fluff from these. Always.

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.
I’m featuring one of my all-time favorite type of shirts for today’s Trapped In Time Tuesday.
It also happens to be in one of my all-time favorite prints.
(I had to make myself a shirt in the same print, fyi)
It’s a simple cropped cowl neck shirt with long, full sleeves.
I like to layer, so this speaks directly to my fashion aesthetic.
These images with the model are actually from my first-ever (rather impromptu) shoot–and where I happened to meet the amazing photographer, Britt of Underexposed Photography.
We were actually doing a trunk show (with lackluster sales), and still joke today that the best thing that came out of that day was our meeting each other, as well as a couple of models that we’ve worked with a number of times since.
You can find the shirt in my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/94807216/shirt-womens-shirt-cowl-neck-jersey?ref=shop_home_active

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)
Breathtaking, right?

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.

I am happy to report that I now have a shop on etsy (which you already knew about, of course) AND on rebelsmarket. Check it out: http://www.rebelsmarket.com/rebelsbooth/trapped-in-time-designs
As of now I just have custom/made to order items up over there–testing the waters.
I’ll keep my etsy shop around, of course, but rebelsmarket seems like a good venue, and allows me to reach a new market.
On that note, today’s feature is up for purchase in either shop–Black and White Striped Leggings:
I offer these in both a full and capri length.
They’ve been pretty popular, and I have a stack of new material to try out–a narrower stripe in black and white as well as a red and white stripe.
I’ll get some made some day….you know, when I get all those extra hours I need?
You can find the leggings in either of my shops:

Some pretty for your Monday–a tad later in the day, and a bit of a drive-by, as I am preparing for a couple of house guests! Enjoy the 20s inspired fashion editorial images, and I’ll be back tomorrow.
Just a few images to share from a recent photo shoot.
Busy week–still adjusting to the 4am wake up call….
I’m so tired. So very, very tired.
But these pictures are pretty! Very, very pretty!

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.
Beautifully posed, beautiful sets, beautiful fashion, put together in new and gorgeous ways.
So, sit back, scroll through, and enjoy your pretty on this lovely Monday.
I received a surprising influx of hours at my part time gig this week (going from the normal10 hours to 21 hours), so I’ve been running around like a crazy person this week, trying to stay on top of it all. The fact that my shift starts at 5am hasn’t been helping. A 4am wake up call isn’t my idea of a good time.
Now that the week is coming to a close, I feel like I’m getting a little more sure-footed. Next week looks to be just as challenging, so I’m thinking of ways to streamline my week days.
Still, I managed to finish up a few projects and start work on others.
Sneak peek behind the scense from a shoot that features my clothing:
A new shipment of striped fabric (for leggings) arrived. I ordered some narrower stripes along with the ol’ stand-bys this time around–excited to see how those work for the leggings.
Found some irresistable notecards.
Got word back on that Kahlan costume–the bustier looks SO AMAZING!! Happy customer and happy designer!
Finished up the burlesque bustier and ruffled shorts. The bustier has a seperating zipper front for the closure. I do believe I’ll be offering this option in the shop soon! It turned out really well. Hope I get final pictures from my client….
A snake poked it’s head out to say hello at my husband’s office. I wanted to pick it up, but figured it was best for both the snake and myself if I didn’t.
The sky driving across the 24 mile Causeway bridge this past Saturday.
There was more, but I’m still getting used to remembering to snap pictures. I’ll get it someday!
