over-alls and fish

It's Summertime...

D'ya wanna go fishin'?

Here's my fishin' theme music. One of my all time favorites.

(Fishin' Blues - Taj Mahal)

Finally! I have a new finished project to share with you!
Overalls always make me think of my "Grampa". They make me happy. =]

So, I made some 1920's inspired overalls out of some old, holey jeans, hairpins for the buckles and little craft buttons that are just the right size and still work!

The shirts I made out of some old flannel pajamas. Hers is a half button down, His is a full button up with a shirt-tail hem.

What have you been doing this Summer?

Best regards,

Alice and Morogh

Too big for painted china feet...

...but absoballylutely spiffy for people feet!

Just thought I'd let you all know about this giveaway! Aren't these shoes delightful?

The giveaway is being hosted by The American Duchess, who also has lots of fun information and tutorials for costuming. You must go sign up for these shoes! They are worth a bundle and are charming besides!

Queen Mary's Doll House 1924

Hello my dear friends!

 I hope you are sitting down, because you must be quite prepared for what I am about to show you. 

In fact... you should probably make some strong tea and maybe get a few truffles from the cupboard.... just to be safe. Alright, are you quite ready?

 Here is a video I've found of Queen Mary's Doll house which was designed in 1924. The details are simply stunning! Very inspiring, wot? I hope you all enjoy, and have another truffle for the after-effects.
But you mustn't watch it here, it is much too small. Watch it on YouTube and make it as big as it goes. You will be much better able to see the details.

Are you astounded? I still am in a state of disbelief. The tiny Hoover vacuum had my mouth completely dropped open in a very unladylike manner. Likewise, the marble bath tub, the suit of armor, the dishes and glasses, the cars and last but certainly not least the bicycle! Oh! That I had a bicycle! What beautiful things people can make... I am inspired.

It has been a very whirlwind-y sort of month so, I do apologize for being quite absent! I will post more of my 1700's dress as soon as I possibly can! Thank you for being so patient!

Love, Emaline
