my victorian outfit

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=409352.0

This was made from a Simplicity pattern, I can't remember the number, for my friend's 30th Birthday Party, I don't have any fantastic pics of my in it but here's one

it's a bustier, skirt (with lots and lots of pleats round the bottom) and frock coat, looking at the pics I think that when i wear it next I'll wear a petticoat with it, just to help with the shape.

i'm so lucky, my boyfriend not only puts up with my crafting, he enjoys watching me craft.  He appreciates my finished articles (his brother called him a lovesick puppy when he was wandering around the house wearing the scarf i made him) and buys me YARN, he bought me £30 of hand dyed yarn for my birthday, which i'm currently working with and has threatened to buy me more yarn this weekend because there's a shop we'll be going past which has hand spun hand dyed yarns, so pretty

depends on the type of handle, coat hanger on a broom would work if it's a pull down handle, or fix a treat to it so the kitty jumps on it and kitty's weight opens the door, if a good sharp tug would do it then you could tie a string to the handle and tug from a distance, or of course if you're feeling really brave you just stand in the space that will be behind the door, open it and hope the  door is strong enough to protect you from the onslaught, then you just have to wade through it

i'm currently working on a Victoriana style outfit, i hope it comes out looking half as good as that

Wow! *This Rocks!* the whole thing is just stunning! Well done!

wow that curly coils one looks AWESOME, wish i could spin

well no, not as they are, but you can take out the alcohol and mix it up a bit for kids, but it's a good way to get some immune boosters into them when they're sick

sure, dip them in chocolate or use coco pops mix in smarties or mini m&ms or something right at the end
