Changes coming.

I've decided that I'm going to be making lots of hand beaded, vintage lace, ribbons, buttons, rhinestones, jewelry embellished accessories like cuffs, bustiers, corsets, arm warmers, waist cinchers, belts and such, with the ocassional dress or top.
That way I can do more beadwork as an embellishment as I find it so calming and soothing to do. Please feel free to let me know how you like my new creations, I love feedback, good and bad.

I'm now pinging as my accounts have all been linked. Cool hey!!!!

Finding Family

You know, it is quite a thing to discover that you need to find your family that you weren't told about.  And then, to finally after years of looking to go to Facebook and actually find one of them. I'm stunned. I'm trying to think of what to write, do I blab for hours of everything or tons of info on what has been happening or just start out nice and slow?

These are some of my newest additions to my shop.

Amberdark's musings

I'm wondering how my new sweater upcycles are being received? What do you think of them? I'd love to know.

I'm been doing some funky stuff with sweaters lately, but I'm not too sure how they're going over in Etsy with the people who visit my site. No hearts yet.

New website changes

I can just see it now, dropping and dragging my clothing items around on my website, going insane because I'm so perfectionistic and can't decide where to put things or what category. But then we have the sections, so what do I put them into? uh, new and old? or how about similar designs? or maybe aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!! told ya so!

A new and old thing for me

I find I've gone into my roots with hand embroidery and creating mosaics on my designs. Such a way of expression for me, that is so embracing. I love adding all the little bits and pieces that go into the whole.

The process is a flowing, emerging creation for me and not a thought out, planned and structured thing. I wonder how many others work this way?

Such hot days now in Vancouver, Richmond. I remember when August was our month of hot days to count on. It has changed so much over the years. There were a few years of May having hot months, February and even March with some snow! Well, I hope it stays moderate as really hot or really cold just aren't for me! :)

Designs, designs

My head is full of ideas and my hands can't keep up. I've just listed my latest thing - Snoods for little girls and big girls. Thin hair to bushy hair I'm making sure they fit. But so many more are coming along in my head that I'm glad I'm writting them down.

I have five projects on the go right now but am taking off to Vancouver Island for Sunday the 17th. I'll still have to check as I do everyday, twice or more a day, lol. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the long weekend. Hi D! Carole

Ideas

I've been finding that I can't sleep with ideas on designs I want to do. So now I write everything down that pops up in my head until it quiets down and then I can sleep. I'm so happy that they are flowing freely everynight.
