I’ll bet if you’re a Molly girl, you have a number of these lovely silks in your wardrobe and have experienced the same problem as me, in that they used to have a tendency to split slightly along the seams.
Sometimes I would buy a bigger size, only to find it was too large on the top, so that didn’t solve the problem for me. I have repaired this little lot once before, but this time round, I decided to take a different approach, so I once again repaired the seams, then decided to remove the button closure from the back and replace it with some ribbon – from the little lace wash bags that Odd Molly occasionally supply, and here’s the result……
The powder ribbon worked superbly on the powder slip I had…….
And also used it on this rose silk tank – but in reality, you could use a ribbon of your own colour choice!
So you see, you can now wear your pretty little silk numbers to fit you perfectly, without ripping the seams!
Just a thought……….. 
Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by!
Stor klem til deg!

Well it was started in July 2010 and I was hoping to have it finished within a year, so I attempted to complete it on Sunday, but got side-tracked, and therefore it was finalised yesterday, taking me a day over a year since the idea sprung into my head, but there you go!
Think it was worth the wait though, as when I saw it on the mannequin for the first time, it brought tears to my eyes as it is just so pretty! Unfortunately the photos don’t do the lace used justice, so I attempted to take a photo with flash in order to highlight the detail somewhat……
The true colour is more like the other photos but I just wanted to pick out the beautiful lace panels running down the length of the dress.
I love the beautiful heart applique on the back of the dress – just a little extra detail that works really well!
Close up…….
Pretty little sleeves…….
Heidi Long and Heidi short, both lovely indeed!
But it’s with a heavy heart that I’m selling the long dress, as I would love to keep it, but in truth, I just can’t keep everything I make for little ole me so I guess I have to make a business decision every now and then and move things along – that plus I own 6 long dresses, and so far, I’ve only ever worn one, so there is no point in this hanging in my wardrobe not being worn, as I’d much rather someone else enjoy it instead!
The dress would fit up to an Odd Molly small size 2 if you’re not big on top, and I would recommend that you should be at least 168cm (like me!) or taller, as it sits on my ankle bone and not trailing on the floor!
This beauty is for sale at £100.00 (exc of P&P).
A lot of work, effort and more importantly, a massive amount of expensive lace went into making this dress, so it’s worth every penny, believe me!
First come served, as this is a ‘one-off’ so if you like, please leave me a post here and I’ll get back to you!
Hope you’re all having a nice sunny day wherever you may be – here (as usual!) it’s cold and wet –oh can’t we please have some sun! 
Stor klem til dig!

And isn’t she just?……….
You know, I’ve made this tunic dress countless times now, and five in this colour combination, but I always hoped one day I’d witness a real Swedish beauty wearing it, and voila, here we have it, the beautiful Maria from Sweden wearing her very own!
And to complete the look, sporting a pair of super sweet little shorts which she was lucky enough to win in my summer prize giveaway last year, so you see, if you don’t enter my competitions, you won’t be in with a chance!
Think they look perfect together!
This was one of the very first things I made for sale, and it’s been very popular ever since, as it’s just a very versatile little tunic. You can dress it up and make it look fabulous, like Maria did in the first shot, or you can wear it more casual like she did here…….
So very pretty!
This dress is like a ray of sunshine and when I see mine, it always puts a smile on my face!
Looking good with red Hunter wellies too!
And here’s the sweet little shorts that Maria is wearing in the first shot – with matching ribbons!
If only she didn’t live in Sweden, I’d have her modelling everything for me! Oh well, have to say that I’m thrilled to bits to just have her model some of my clothing anyway!
Wishing you all a sunny day, wherever you may be!
Stor klem till alle sammen!

I can hardly believe what has happened in my beloved Norway, and in particular Oslo, a city in which I always feel like I leave a little of myself behind every time I leave.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Norway who have had to endure this terrible event. It's so very hard to take in right now and I'm hoping that I hear from everyone that I've made contact with as soon as possible, in order to put my mind at rest.
God bless you all.

Not the way I planned, but lovely all the same I guess!
You may recall, I started making this sometime last year on and off, and decided around February this year to start putting it together and posted it here as a work in progress – and it was, as I was under the impression that I had enough yarn left over with which to knit the last sleeves – that was, until I found that two of the balls of yarn were a completely different dye lot, and so after months of searching, I had to admit defeat and rethink the design of this little tunic – and so here it is, sleeveless, but nevertheless a pretty little number!
The neck is a perfect ‘v’ but is just sitting a little wobbly on the mannequin!
As you can see, it still looks pretty without sleeves and looks really nice with a spoiler top or pretty t-shirt underneath it!
So, as it has no sleeves, I decided to ‘pretty’ up the back of it and added a sweet little crocheted butterfly, in a silvery white yarn……
Pretty indeed…….
The skirt is nice also……
With sweet little detailing…….
Looks lovely on the mannequin, and I wish it fitted, but sadly (once again, groan!) it’s a little too big for me, so I have to pass on it and have decided to offer it for sale at £75.00 (excl of P&P)
The size runs between a large Odd Molly size 1 and a small size 2.
It took many hours to make, but it was fun, so for me, it was a pure labour of love!
It's offered on a first-come-first-served basis, so if you’re interested. please act soon! 
Many Thanks for dropping by – have a wonderful evening, wherever you may be!
Stor klem!
