Granny Dress

The other day when I was in the opshop looking for frames, I saw this dress. 
It was a size 16, huge granny dress with no shape what so ever,  with buttons all up the front, and shoulder pads. Definitely a little number that you might wear to the 9:00 service on a Sunday. 
However, it had the most beautiful floral pattern I have ever seen. So for 4.99 I bought it, and turned it into this baby below!!!
Its also reversable, so you can wear the buttons at the back, and I am about to add a peter pan collar to the high neck. Don't you love to sew? I do.





The Laboratory

Just dropped off a HUGE order of bracelets to the Laboratory in Pakington Street. 
They also have a shop in Torquay, and Ballarat. 
It was such a big order that I ran out of supplies!
Hopefully these sell like hot cakes!




Spring Chicken of QAL

So recently, I have signed up with a community arts program where local artists showcase their artwork on a monthly basis. It called QAL, and it's at the Queenscliff Uniting Church hall. 
I am the "spring chicken" of the group! With all applicants being at least 50 - 60 years old. But hey, thats cool! Each individuals work is entirely unique and beautiful, from pottery to woodwork to 3D photography in resin blocks.
Go check it out if you're down the Queenscliff way this long weekend. 

Here is my little setup below...
