Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a nice holiday! I’m going to do a long write up on wordpress but thought I would post something quick here.
I wouldn’t say this year was exciting, but I’ve learned a lot and i’m proud of what I got done. I hope I can continue down the path I started on this year.
I made 21 costumes this year. They aren’t all pictured above but most of them are! My favorite is probably the Fall Fairy. Followed by the 1830s Red Dress and the Christmas Angel. It would be neat to hear your favorites!
This year i’ve gotten a lot more support than I had ever expected. I’m so incredibly grateful for the kind words I’ve received and the interest people have shown in my work. It really means a lot to me, so thank you!!
I love all of your costumes, they are beautiful and put me to shame.
I love sewing and would love to do this sort of work, so, I now realise, what’s stopping me?
Nothing, the realisation is wonderful, I feel free!
Thank you for the inspiration, I hope to follow you and see more wonderful works of yours in the coming months.
Happy New 2015!
