The Social Porcupine

I am really excited to share about a project I just finished. Also, keep in mind that I do custom orders. About five years ago I saw the most gorgeous scarf in our local co-op. It was 100% Rayon, covered with beautiful embroidery. But the price was far above what I was willing to pay. So, I went to Joann's and bought some nice looking off white rayon. I bought enough to make two scarfs. One for me, and one for my mom. I hemmed them both up, and unraveled the ends creating the tassel. And then I forgot about them ;D Until this last August. After being home awhile, and finally rested from traveling so much, I decided to take up my hand work again. I went through my sewing, knitting, and embroidery things, organizing all my projects. And found the unfinished scarves. And, so, I started embroidering the one for my mom. It took several months of constant work. I just finished it mid-November. Oh, and I used 100% rayon satin floss... so this w...

Even before I finished these I was asked to make a bridesmaid dress. I had by this time got burnt out with custom sewing... not a good start for a difficult project :P. But I agreed to do it. I helped the lady pick out fabrics from Joann's and helped her design the dress... Mom did a lot of this, too. But before I actually began sewing, I did these; I added straps to the wedding dress, I hemmed this dress that one of the ladies attending the wedding wore. And I altered the flower girl's dress, making it smaller in the bodice. Getting around to the bridesmaid dress was hard!!! But I had a deadline. It was the beginning of August. I had till August 31. I started with cutting it all out... with help from Mom. The fabric was difficult to cut out, and we kept having to trim and re-trim it. I did some of the small sewing, then started with the embroidery - my mom drew the design. She penciled it on one half, then I traced over that with a gel pen so it s...

Just a short post :) Several longer ones coming soon!!! I was suppose to work three days for a neighbor, and we ended up finishing early... getting the job done in one day. So, all of a sudden, I had two extra days with nothing planned. Mom cut out three jumpers, and I worked on them for part of the two days :D Keilah's blue jumper. The sun was in her eyes so the picture isn't so good :( but here's another that's better... Kinda. And Keziah's two jumpers... And, also, for all of you that like to read, a friend just published an ebook! I read the first draft, and it was really interesting. I hope to buy it soon :) find out more about the book at her blog .

Hi! First off I want to say thanks to Bethany from Clever Bunnies and MissMelodyMuffin from The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls for helping me with my blog and answering questions! Everthing is a lot smaller on a phone than a computer. Also they work a little differently... I think :] Pretty much everything went good, but I did have trouble finding the Join this Sight  gadget. For any of you others that do, this is how; go to your blog dashboard, click on Layout , then on on of the boxes that say Add a gadget . This will bring up a page of 20-30 different gadgets, but none of these are the right ones. Up in the upmost, far left corner are several options, and one is More Gadgets . After you click on this it will give you the option to choose any one of 300+ gadgets. Up top is a search box, though, so if you know what you want you don't have to scroll through them all. Search Members . Also I had trouble with the banner. I still don't know if I like it, but f...
