I just transferred my etsy store over to storenvy but I'll have to try this goodsmiths site as well. Haven't heard of it but sounds promising!

I would love to try your bandeau or 50s style dress. I can even review it on my sewing blog PM me if you still need someone!

I claim Oath Keeper for the hoopla and some of the supplies!

Lorelai here from Boston but residing in Los Angeles with Alex, my boyfriend and Zooey, my cat. I'm a seamstress/freelance web designer/social media expert by day and a blogger/video gamer by night. I can't think of anything else other than my birthday is on Saturday so I am wicked excited! If you want to find more about me, my pinterest (pinterest.com/lloralye) is a good place to start and I would love to answer any questions.

We've already had 4 sales so stop buy before tomorrow if you want to be featured in Round 2!  There's even a space for most referrals so just send lots of your friends over, have them comment, and we'll feature you!

I'll be sure to like you all when I get out of work!

I'm http://www.facebook.com/fancydodo and my blog is http://www.facebook.com/adorningschemes

I did all the suggestions given to me and vamped up my store.  I'm getting a lot more traffic but still no sales.  Any suggestions?

My boyfriend and his mom both have Celiac so I'm learning the ropes as well as becoming gluten free myself ( I have a slight intolerance myself and I'm less scared of 'poisoning' them ).  My other roommate is vegan so I'm working on perfecting gf vegan baking which is what I love most.

I came up with this GF Vegan Bundt cake: http://adorningschemes.blogspot.com/2011/11/to-bake-gf-vegan-pineapple-persimmons.html which came out pretty good.  I was wondering if anyone had any great basic gf vegan dough and cake recipes I could work from altering.  The ones I've invented have just been delicious but slightly off in consistency.

I haven't gotten around to sharing my Dany Targaryen costume from Halloween yet.  I actually made it in the three hours before guests for our party started arriving and I'm quite pleased with the look considering I just cut pieces out by eyeing it and literally sewed myself into it!



The top is burlap and the rest is like this faux leather stuff I got downtown.  There are more photos here: http://adorningschemes.blogspot.com/2011/11/to-bakecreate-halloween-lorelai-style.html

Wizards_Pupil pulled through as my swap angel a while ago but the post office held the box for an extended period of time and finally made it to me!  Here are the goodies I got:



I kept the tissue paper in because it has the nintendo logo on it!  Where did you even find that?

- I got this lovely tote which now houses all my knitting and crocheting (the trinity symbol is on the back)
- A milk bottle
- A treasure chest tin that houses sewing needles and thread
- A dungeon key
- A tiny bottle pendant
- And finally, 4 zelda magnets which I have added to the corner of my bf's white board..he either hasn't noticed or doesn't care :p

Thanks so much!

I received my second package today from TheSapphireMoon! So many zippers and fabric and buttons for me to craft with.  The peacock fabric is my favorite. I can't wait to get started.
