Fancy Dress

Like most little girls, I used to dream about wearing big full dresses like Scarlet O'hara (really because I wanted to dress up for Rhett Butler) (oops did I just date myself????) which I guess is the reason Little Miss Thisorthat always wants to play dress up and a spinning dress is a must!  It was not a far stretch when I finished this piece that I saw that magnificant dress that I always wanted to wear.  I think I was born in the wrong century!!  Enjoy thinking about little memories that used to put a smile on your face - I hope they still do!!

Challenge 16 - Mooka

I'm not sure what got into me this morning, but after I saw the video on this new pattern, Mooka, (from Laura Harms' I am the Diva website) I thought I would give it a try.  It seems like every time I try to make any pattern with a loop in it, it never turns out the way I think it should.  So when I decided to give this one a try I was a little skeptical but excited at the same time.  Well true to form, it didn't turn out like I thought it should.  The video made it look so much easier!!  But then I did some shading on it and added some other little things to it and I was happier with it.  I'm sure I'll do another tangle this week with this new pattern, but....not today.  I think the images inside my head are much more controlled (probably because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist) and I wish the end result was the same.  But I guess if everything came out like the vision in my head, then I'd have tons of money and be on an island someplace.  Oh to dream!!!!  Happy Monday to you and keep on dreaming!!!
