Apart from having a cold and my son having the chicken-pox I continued to move along!
One to my list, now I have a dress ( which I am awaiting fabric) , a men's hat, and a blouse to complete. The list never seems to get shorter, and that's a good thing because it means I continue to work!!
Dress Project
So I sent off the package to the UK! It not only contained the desired dress, but a matching bolero and matching headpiece! I hope she enjoys!!
Hat
I completed the black woolen women's hat with black veil!
I love creating such classic lovliess! I am so glad people still request them and wear them!!
A Little Sweetness
And since we are now into December and all the Christmas decorations around town are now up I was in the holiday mood.
Candy Striped Fascinator
Using a buckram wire based disk, I constructed this lovely fascinator / headpiece!
I had the feathers, the fabric, and the veiling! It was completed yesterday morning! More photos and purchasing can be found in my Etsy shop.
I am off to the workroom!!A client who runs one of the two local grocery business once asked me to make her a hat for her new grand-daughter. At the time I was swamped with projects and I never got around to making in. This morning I decided to take a few hours from my morning to finally complete it for her.
I had been thinking about it for days. Now I finally got it done!
I loved the red wool, but I thought it needed a little something. So I hand stitch the felt flowers and center beads. What a cutie!
Now I don't have to try to avoid here everytime I see her! (That's bad!!)
I will deliver her cute little hat later this afternoon!
Her grand-daughter will now be styling in the cold weather that has already arrived.
Projects, projects, projects!
Recently I have been very blessed that I have had work coming my way! So little time, so many ideas!
I had to stop from my goal of two new items a week for my Etsy shop. But I am fighting against time to begin a couple of new ideas I have had!
Wristlets
The cold weather is here, I hate it when I am working and my hands are cold! Therefore I drafted a glove pattern. Varying that pattern I have started making Wristlets, gauntlet length.
All the current Italian Fashion Magazines contain variations of gloves, fingerless, gauntlet and opera length. I have been inspired! I am beginning to fill up my sketchbook with ideas!
I just wish I could sew faster!!
Inspiration for my Wristlet Collection.
Spats
I began making men's spats! Soon I will be able to post them in my shop!
Oh, I am also making this pair for a friend and client who is a performing artist.
Spats! 
Using an orange and pink cotton fabric which I have cut 1 1/2 wide stripes, then stitched together, will be the top layer be very appealing and fit perfect with the rest of her costume and show! (I am also constructing a similar men's pair.)
The photo on the below that one, is the base made of canvas which the top layer is attached. They will contain a hidden lacing closure at the center-back. This closure will allow comfort for all types of movement which she requires as a performer. The closure will also allow her the ability for the spats to be worn with a variety of shoes.
Other
I am also working on a few custom orders including two dresses, one blouse, and a hat!
Dress Decor. 
This photo is the decoration of the first dress which will be sent out on Monday!
Back to my workroom I go! I sure do love to create, I just wish I had more time!!!
In he eighties Detroit-born Anna Sui began designing, in 1991 she debuted on the runway.
Love the hat! 
Her aesthetic is easily recognizable in her patchwork and aesthetics of boudoir. So of her clients consist of Nicole Kidman, Marilyn Manson, Drew Barrymore, Sofia Coppola, and Stevie Nicks.
She has 32 boutiques, international cult status, a successful beauty line, and the Anna Sui BoHo Barbie®.
Here are three pieces of her Spring /Summer 2010 collection.
Wonderful detail. 
In this collection it is wonderful to see how she mixes prints with plaids and everything else! And there is wonderful mixes of color, color, color!!
