* PRETTY CROCHETED CAMISOLE *

This pale camel crocheted camisole is in a shell pattern with a pretty pale pink ribbon trim and matching little bows everywhere, finished with white crocheted edgings. It's pure cotton and can be washed in the machine on a cool wash and re-shaped whilst dry.





The size is between an Odd Molly 0 and 1 as it fits really snuggly on, but will mould to your shape, which makes it very figure enhancing indeed!





This close fitting effect comes from the fact that it buttons up at the back as you can see here and the ribbon ties are adjustable.




The detailing is super pretty!


The camisole is offered for sale at £45.00




* SPARKLY DIAMANTE CHOKER *

This lovely crocheted choker is in a pale pink cotton edged in a white shell pattern and finished at the back with satin ribbon, which makes it adjustable. The diamante stones are super sparkly, which unfortunately, the pictures do not do justice to!

As you can see, the stones are lovely indeed and the ribbon closure makes it adjustable to any size!




The choker is offered for sale at £25.00

Happy Shopping and thanks for dropping by!

LABOUR OF LOVE OR VARIATION ON A THEME?......

As some of you may know, I have been coveting a beautiful tunic from Odd Molly called 'Fields of Lace' and my search started over a year ago. I wasn't aware of all the various websites at the time, so extended my search in Oslo whilst I was there last May, and wasn't even successful in Eger which had only opened a few days before I arrived!

Anyhow, one of my Odd Molly friends Charlotte (who has a lovely blog worth visiting) 'Loves Molly' http://lovesmolly.blogspot.com/ has been attempting to help me find one of these beautful tunics in a size 1, in either white, chalk or the wonderful powder shade, which I'm finding is my favourite Molly colour of the moment!

For those of you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, this is what the original looks like.......

Beautiful don't you think?

So then, as it's over a year since I decided I wanted one of these beauties, I've attempted to make one of my own - but this was quite a challenge, as with this type of tunic, you've got to make your own pattern up, and with that, I had to think long and hard about the construction of it.

Many a night was spent just looking at this tunic from various angles as I managed to find a lot of pictures on various web sites so they gave me some positive clues on how to put it all together!

And so here is my version! I wanted to make mine a bit longer, as I sometimes find that Odd Molly tunics can be a little on the short side, plus I wanted to incorporate the use of a piece of material I'd saved from a sweet little baby doll top I bought from Zara a few years back, which forms the front panel of the dress.

I loved the material of the little top, but hated how it looked on, so you know me, I just couldn't bare to throw it away and had been planning how to use it for a while now, so it seemed appropriate to use it here.

The back has a flatter panel which is similar to that on the original. I've used laces and trims from all over the world, but this time no little gems from my Grandmother I'm afraid!

As you can see, when the front panel is extended, it's very wide indeed, making for a nice floaty effect! In order to keep it under control tho, I gathered it in and attached beautiful lace from Sweden over the top - wish I could remember the name of the department store in Stockholm!

I was convinced that as soon as I finished this, I would find one in any colour in my size - well last night, Tradera had a size 2 in powder, which is too big for me, but I'm hopeful I will get one soon!

Wish me luck!

PRETTY BOUDOIR THINGS..........

Phew, and now for the last post of the day!

I started making this Boudoir set back in August 2009, when I found the material on Ebay. As it was coming to the end of the summer and I didn't have all the trimmings I wanted, I made up the wrap over but left the trimmings until last week, when I decided to use up the pretty pink lace I bought in Oslo last May, and found some more pink trimmings to finish everything off.

It's just a simple wrap over top, which ties very high above the bust, enhancing your womanly curves - even if you're not big up top! ;-) The pale pink broderie anglais material was a marvelous find on Ebay and I knew once I saw it, that it would make the prettiest boudoir wrap I owned! Well that was until I decided to re-design the sleeves and made a mess of them, so I had to start them again! As I say, the pretty crochet cotton lace came from Oslo and it's finished off with my label and pretty matching pink bows.

So, I thought to myself, with just a scrap of material left "No shorts for me then!"........

A-ha (groan!) not so! You know me, I was pondering over the 'scraps' last week, when I thought to myself "How can I get a pair of shorts out of this material?" and I was scratching my head, as I only had enough for the back of the shorts, but not the front. Then I remembered the two sleeves that went wrong, but as I'd kept them (as I never throw anything away which I feel can be used elsewhere - you know me by now! LOL) I unpicked the stitching and with the clever use of a pretty embroidered braid, re-worked out the front of the shorts, which are basically patched together and voila, a pair of shorts were on their way!

As you can see, the broderie anglais trimming was perfect for the material! I also used it on the leg edges as well as the waistline, so that when they were elasticated, it made them look so sweet!

And finished off with the usual labels and bows!

Gosh, four postings in one day! Time for lunch methinks..........

SUPER PRETTY CHOKERS!

Wow, I'm a busy bee today, but I've been making all sorts recently, so wanted to play 'catch-up' here!

I crocheted these little chokers at the weekend and finished (well at least one!) of them with a mixture of my Grandma's old buttons and some newly purchased - hence the fact that I've run out for the second choker and will have to get some more!

These multi coloured buttons belonged to my Grandma, along with the smaller ones on each end - hence putting a brand new larger version of them worked so well - it's such a pity that I just couldn't capture how stunning the flower shaped ones actually are, but having taken about 20 photies, you could say I've given up! LOL

As you can see, I really should have bought another one of these square buttons to go on this choker, but I will do that on my next jaunt out - think it goes superbly with the very vintage art decco button which one again, belonged to my Grandma - this is precisely why you should never part with anything of value that you can use again and again - who knows where it will end up next - prior to this, it adorned a beautiful red velvet jacket, so you never know!

FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS AND THE LIKE.....update

I've now decided to call these my 'friendship' bracelets as the first batch are all to be given as presents to special friends - well I'm making a start - may take me a while to get around to everyone, plus I'd like to sell some along the way! I found these stones last week on my jaunt to Manchester and knew that they would look pretty made up into one of these bracelets - well my friend Flora thought so when she saw them on Tuesday!





One is for me and the other is for........wait and see! ;-)

UPDATE ON THE WEDDING OUTFIT

Well it looks like I've got it down to two possible outfits now, seeing as I managed to find the most perfect shoes to go with either option when I was in Manchester last week - and they were half price!

It's like they were made to wear with Odd Molly Powder clothes! LOL. The platform looks rather unusual on them, but it doesn't really show when you have them on - very clever!

So here's the two possible outfits to go with my lovely Odd Molly jacket! To be honest, I still don't know which one I will wear till closer to the day, but it's one of these for sure!

Taradiddle Dress Combo...........

When you see the shoes on top of the dress, you know they work just perfectly - I love them! :-)

Native Tunic Combo...........................

It looks superb with the Spoiler dress and skirt combination - wish I'd bought it in the powder colour also now!

Thing is with this tunic, that as much as I like it, it looks a wee bit plain around the bottom and on those wonderful sleeves, so I've decided to put some cream crocheted lace on to make it just a bit more special. The material is a silk/cotton mix and it's divine, but I think the addition of the lace will make it look just a bit prettier! Just need it to turn up in the post now so that I can get it done.

I would love to work for Odd Molly, shame I live in the UK then! LOL

Only 3 weeks to go........Sally is getting rather excited now and so am I - I haven't been to a wedding for ages!

Here's that very handsome man in his dinner suit again *swoon* Wonder what he's doing on 27 March? LOL

Klem!
