well here you go guys 
my package from aneyhall...i LOVE it
she went with my where the wild things are theme and it's just so cute!!
without further ado, pictures!
everything together:

king max in his crown:

crown coin purse:

and....a crown for me


thank you so muchaneyhall it's a fantastic package!

ah yes but if you choose pink super thin striped socks with a solid pink toe...



ha.  just imagine practicemonkey without limbs, ears, and tail!  

no worries, sofee.  this is just practicemonkey.  i'll probably have one or two practicemonkeys with bargain socks before i get started for real. 

if you hadn't of pointed out his phallic-ness i totally wouldn't have noticed but now i can't push it out of my head!
he is super cute though and i actually can't wait to see what to conjure up for me but i guess i'll have to be patient

made as a practise run
i need to practise my scallops so they're less buckled but other than that i think i'm ready to make the real thing (also: must buy white thread, i had to use pink - oops!)

EDIT: i'd like to add that this dress was made for myself, and despite only being 19 i try not to consider myself as a child anymore, so whoever reported this to be moved to kids clothing; thanks for the thought, but it's definately an adult dress

yeah the side seams are already sewn
another thing which seems to be adding to my problem is there's alot more fabric at the front than the back which makes it really difficult to get the whole thing to lie flat
(i know pictures would probably be helpful but i have no idea where my camera is so i'm afraid your stuck with my MS paint skills)

that's pretty much what it looks like, i'm wandering if i take the gathers out and leave them untill i've done the hem whether that would help??

i'm making a smock dress and i wanted to put a scalloped hem on it
i looked at this tutorial http://vainandvapid.blogspot.com/2008/10/scalloped-edge-tutorial.html
but as it's an a-line dress when i fold my hem up it looks like this


any way i can get around this 

i thought i'd try my hand at making some jewellery
this is what i've come up with!




what do you guys think? it's nothing to adventurous...but i'm learning

i don't even know where i'd start on getting the bit around the eyes in the right place, let alone making the ears and muzzle 

anyone got any tips or advice? i would just buy it but i can't find it anywhere..

like this

i'm guessing a basic fabric collar with feathers sewn on in layers??
what kind of feathers would i use and where could i get them from? i've got some craft feathers left over from a cowboy and indians party but they're to artificial looking (not to mention pink, green purple etc..) and have a tendency to bald and gap easily

he's been lying around with no feet for nearly two weeks but i finally finished him 
the jumper didn't want to happen so i made him a little bobble hat instead

i bought my boyfriend little big planet for his birthday...so i thought i'd make him a little something to go with it
