Hello there !!
Im Tammy. Im 38 and im a stay at home mom to three boys in Northern California. I moved here from OH and love it!! I like to sew, quilt. I am starting to get into embroidery and can crochet a little bit. Im very much into girly type stuff and love anything regency -titanic era. I also love 30s-40s things as well. I am allergic to nickel.
Here are my wishes
Anything off my wist list is great!!
Crafted Items~~
KNITTED AND CROCHETED
I love this shawl and I am willing to wait longer if anyone will make it for me.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CivilWarShawlKAL/ Im not picky about color. Would be just happy to even have one.
I would love some soft wool socks!!
Snood in a 40s style (prefer a crochet or knitted tie versus elastic (stays on better)
I have a weird obsession with knitted cuffs!! I love them!! Chocolate brown, red, white, mustard yellow.
SEWN
**Civil War Era Cape called a Mathilde Mantilla (Think of a Civil War era Poncho. This is basically what it is) Here is a link to the pattern
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Ehag/godey/images/s5902170.jpg and here is an example of what it looks like
http://www.thegracefullady.com/civilwargowns/ready-mades_silkmantle.htm Measurements will be provided. Wool blend or Corduroy would be great. Hood is decorative and is not functional. It only uses around 3 yards. I would also prefer it lined for warmth. It would be great if I could retain the pattern as well for future projects. (I can sew I just cant figure out how to make it <frown>) without a pre-drafted pattern. OR If someone with any drafting skills wouldn’t mind drafting a pattern to my size I could play around with it and make my own (If I have a pattern to work with)
Aprons!! Even though I sew them I would love to see what others come up with!! I would also like two childrens apron (both are under 12yrs old) Transformers and Spiderman a plus!! (one claim at a time is fine needless to say Grin)
New purse (same reason as above!!!) I am in need of a large school bag/tote!! The strap on mine is starting to come loose.
Primitive Rageddy Ann doll (An example is in my wists)
Handwarmers like the ones offered at Hot Topic.com. Victorian Goth ones would be perfect.
Crazy Quilted Purse. Or any purse made by you!! Im needing a new one!! (received a beautiful one from feast your eyes.) More are welcomed!!!
Victorian capelet. At least waist length please email for length.
Regency or Victorian era Reticule
Petticoat (cotton or cotton blend please) either knee or ankle length !! I actually wear these a lot!! (Im 5'5 email for length) (received one from farmgirljane and would love more!!)
Slat bonnet or corded can provide links if needed. Any pattern should do as they are all basically the same result.
I would love love love some embroidered handkerchiefs. Victorian motifs preferred. Monogrammed with my initals would be nice too!!
Victorian slippers. This pattern is from 1864
http://www.victoriana.com/VictorianShoes/victorianslipperpattern.htmlIm looking for special kind of apron for my husband. He cooks the eggs at breakfast time and is a ninjitsu martial artist. I would love an embroidered apron that has a ninja/martial artist holding a spatula in each hand and says "Egg Master" underneath. Fabric and colors are open as long as its durable and holds up.
Bars of handmade soap (the kind that is made from lye). I have always wanted to try it!! Lavender, oatmeal, goats milk, citrus are great however any scents are welcome!! Or soap supplies/kit as I would love to learn how to make my own. Pre-made bars are appreciated as I have young children and am concerned with having lye in the house.
Bath bombs. Also jars of bath salts would be fantastic as well. Im good for now!! Thanks!!
Im looking for some scented oils. I would rather these be handmade or from specialty shops and not from stores like joanns or hobbylobby ect.
Hand crafted candles are great too. Prefer either fruit and or spice scented ones or lavender (only floral scented one I like). Im also interested in the scented candle chunks that you can melt and scent your house.
Lavender sachets for my dresser drawers (ive received some but im addicted lol!! I even hang them near open windows Grin)
Whimsey jar are really fun!!
Im loving the moon jars!! Would love to have one!!
Im looking for a serving tray that I can bring snacks from the kitchen to the living room. Asian or victorian influence a real plus.
Im also looking for a picture frame. about 1.5 inches or more wide/thick on the sides. What I would like is a thin wooden back fitted to it. I dont need the glass for it. An old vintage frame would be preferred for this. Im going to use it as a center piece tray for candles (if you can visualize it will lay flat on the table) I can take a pic of the pic in my book if you would like to see my inspiration.
Shower curtain. Victorian style please!!
My 18 year old loves Jack Skellington from the Nightmare before Christmas so anything with him on (appropriate for a guy) would be fantastic
Books that teach drawing as well as an art kit of some kind put together would be great. My 11 year old loves to draw comic books!!
Handcrafted Jewelry with Victorian influence
Victorian/Edwardian style chalk board. Heres the idea. Antique frame or mirror with glass removed. Where the glass should be is the area to write in (im not sure what would be used to create the chalkboard slate as I only know of the special paint). Saw one in Victorian Trading Co. I love the idea!!
