Take II: Bandana Tied

by C - Monday, July 23, 2018

The last (and first) time I tied a bandana into a headband, I thought the resulting look was so much fun. I wish I could say practice makes perfect... but I think for this round, I spent more time only for the end result to be messier than I'd like.

Flair for the Dramatic

by C - Sunday, April 29, 2018

I call this my "eating well at the buffet" dress due to its voluminous skirt that has enough fabric to hide anything you can imagine really. I'm all talk because I haven't actually worn it on a test run... =/ My eating skills aren't what they used to be, unfortunately. Darn you metabolism and old age.
