I used to be able to make fabric bows a couple of decades ago...sigh!<br />Any way, here's a pic I took yesterday, before the lace and bias were sewn on. I was trying to decide between lace at the top or ruffled lace at the bottom. The top won!<br /><center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/fall20071805copy.jpg"></center> http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/5079.html public 10 http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/4234.html Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:28:59 GMT http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/4234.html I just bought Eddie Izzard tickets!!!

The hardest part is the dough, then rolling it out. My hands are messed up, specially the left for some odd reason. I set off both fire alarms by turning on the oven and boiling water...what the hell! Leave it to me. But it was all worth it because they came out yummy and everyone enjoyed them! They are the kind of food I'm only willing to do once a year though!! http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/1702.html public 0 http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/1238.html Thu, 20 Dec 2007 02:53:10 GMT http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/1238.html Practicing taking photos, my kitties are the reluctant subjects!!<br /><br><br /><center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/duet1.jpg"></center><br /><br><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/frolic1-1.jpg"></center><br /><center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/frolic2-1.jpg"></center><br /><center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/maximus1-1.jpg"></center><br /> http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/1238.html public 2 http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/912.html Tue, 18 Dec 2007 11:21:41 GMT http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/912.html <center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/toile.jpg"></center> http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/912.html public 6 http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/526.html Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:53:55 GMT http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/526.html New skirt I'm working on, still needs lining and trim sewn over the pointed edges, but so far I'm pleased...<br /><br><br /><center><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/mpcorsets/skirt.jpg" /></center> http://m-g-p.livejournal.com/526.html public 0
