Mrs. Peacock Today I was inspired by the green sweater and peacock feather clip I wore. This styling thing is getting easier as I practice! :p -
Pictures of Ladies with Hair Adornments
Feathers Here are a few feather clips that I have made using simple materials from Hobby Lobby. I posted these pictures under another thread a while back (show us what you made, i think?), but they are probably more appropriate here. I haven't combined a flower/feather scheme yet, but will... -
As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .
Hi Tenuki! I can completely relate to your frustration. Ive only done a handful of pincurl sets, so I am by far NOT an expert! :) A lot of the different styles rely on which direction you are pincurling. Each style achieves a different curl/look. I haven't even mastered the simple fact of... -

I love the new look, Viv. A new style just takes some getting used to. I'm still trying to adapt to my shorter length also. -
Pictures of Ladies with Hair Adornments
I make hairbows for my daughter, and flower/feather clips for myself. The trick with silk flowers that aren't flat is to pluck the flower from the stem and snip off the green base. Be sure not to cut into the petal. You disassemble the flower and begin glueing it to your barrette/clip layer by... -

Show us your hair do's....
My husband and I went to a car show this weekend in Austin, Tx. I tried out a new style using the video from Vivian. My bangs didn't want to cooperate, but I managed to get a cute curl in the front. I received lots of comments on my hair from people passing by. It turned out to be a bit breezy... -
Vintage Kimonos
Exquisite is exactly the word I thought of when seeing your pictures. And, yes! The links you provided are exactly what I have been interested in creating. I have some fabric that I can practice with, although I have been wondering if it were possible to adapt the kanzashi by using a wide ribbon...- jsands

Vintage Kimonos
Kanzashi Unsure if this belongs within this thread, but it is related to Kimono's.... I have been fascinated with the art of Kanzashi. I make hair bows for my daughter (also a few pieces for myself), and I just love the craftsmanship of these gorgeous hair pieces. Do you also collect the...- jsands

I'm not a handy-dandy sew'er (yet), but tonight I went crazy with the glue gun and made a few accessories from some goodies I picked up while at the Hobby Lobby.- jsands

My folks flew down from Pennsylvania last week, and we went on several day trips. One of them was to a quaint little town in Salado, Tx. At one of the antique shops that line the main street, I found this and fell in love. I, too, am not good at dating. I took a picture of the tag (albeit not a...- jsands

Show us your hair do's....
I tried using rats, but that really didn't turn out so well for me. I thought it would be as simple as rolling your hair like a curler. Of course, sponge rollers didn't turn out that great for me, either. I threw in the towel for that one as pincurls held out MUCH better. I think a lot of it is... -
Vintage style while doing chemo ?
Blondie, you're one tough cookie. Bad things may happen to good people, but those who tough it out with an attitude such as you, will come away with so much more in the end. You're an inspiration to us all. Best wishes of healing as you undergo Chemo. Think of us here when you go through some...- jsands

Loungers' Pets
Every kittie i've known has LOVED plastic bags, so that is funny to hear. When unpacking groceries, I usually toss the bags into a pile on the floor, and within minutes our cat is diving into the middle of them. Kittie also loves paper bags and empty boxes that he can squeeze into. He loves to...- jsands

Michael Paul Smith - Classic Car Models WOW
Wow, those are neat! I once met a gentleman who lived in Bel Air, MD (I delivered a car part to him) who made a dealership diorama. It was fascinating how accurate in detail it was (both interior and exterior), and it showed off his model collection quite nicely.- jsands

Show us what you have Crafted!
Beautiful quilt! Very inspiring... I haven't quilted in a LONG time. This site is giving me tons of motivation to organize the spare room and set up a sewing niche. Unfortunately, i'm so glued to this site looking at everyone's fabulous things, that I lose track of time! Oh my, does it fly! :)- jsands

Horray for vintage appliances! I've always had a thing for them, and decorated the kitchen at my old house in a vintage style. I love the bright and vivid colors. They just make you happy! I painted my kitchen a light chartreuse to contrast against the black and white. I loved the decorating! I...- jsands

Show us what you've made!
The white insert was a nice change, and the buttons are a cute little detail. That's always a nice alternative to change up the wardrobe instead of buying/making new clothes. Making do with the not so new! :) Perhaps some day I'll be motivated enough to actually make something other than...- jsands

BoPeep, you look great. I LOVE that outfit. It's adorable! As for the car, it's bitchin'! I am into the car scene, and i've wrangled my hubby to get involved as well. We just purchased a 55 Desoto. Can't wait to hit up the car shows this summer! :)- jsands
