Kate Middleton

I am royally obsessed with Will and Kate's big day. I have been ever since they were engaged and even a bit before that. While traveling through Europe this past fall tabloids and headliners of "are they" or "aren't they yet" were already filling the magazine stalls. That's about the time that I got the itch to hear more about the royal couple to be. It was particularly special to me for a few reasons, having been newly engaged on this past trip with the man that I have been with for now 7 years. And now their big day is just around the corner!
The Edmonton Journal did a feature over the weekend about a local couple that started a katemiddleton website where everything Kate and the Royal Wedding updates, articles and features can be posted and read. This is my new first page go see anytime I am on the net. Not many people share or understand my excitement for the Royal Wedding but alas there is a place where I can rejoice with others like me. And so begins my first guest feature as a blogger! I am quite excited for this and even though you do not share my enthusiasm for April 29th, 2011 I hope you can at least share my guest feature accomplishment!

So....
I was greatly inspired after doing my menswear outfit this past March and I have been designing, cutting and almost at the sewing up of that prototype skirt! yay! Heres to hoping that I will be able to put together a small fashion show in September... but I have a heck of a lot of work ahead still. Heres a small preview of what Im working on. I sure hope that first prototype will work first try. Anyone that knows anything about sewing might be laughing right now.. as we all know it takes at least 3 prototypes to get it right. But who knows!



notice that my small grocery list is in the left hand corner...
Hopefully the pieces will be sewed up by the end of this week!

All while watching Gossip Girls or listening to Britney's new album... Guilty pleasure ;)

Etsy

I was browsing on my number one addiction: ETSY and I stumbled upon this wonderful shop, Plum and Posey that makes wax seal pendants which I absolutely love, I then noticed she is local! She will be selling at the Make It in May. I cannot wait to see these beautiful pendants and purchase one.
There will be other amazing designers and sellers at Make It the Handmade Revolution
You should check it out this May 13th-15th! I know I will :)


Hope Sustains Me

A Dying Art

This is for all of those people out there that bring their buttons to be sewn on by the tailor and get charged 7-10$ each. I have recently been discussing with a few different people who cannot fathom the idea of sewing on a button... if this is rocket science then I'm a genius!
If you still haven't succeeded after this video, please feel free to bring your fallen off buttons to me... I'll only charge you half of what the tailor's charging!
