Old, new and to do...

I thought i'd post about my projects of past, present and future as there is nothing new to report on the Gaius room yet. Except of course that one of my tables with benches has arrived which I will decorate later in the week!

Old
This is my Bridal emporium that my mum made for me for my birthday when I was about 13/14. I just thought i'd post some pictures to show you all as it's so pretty! I re-arranged it earlier today, while watching Project Runway (The new show i'm into!) and took some photos of it. Most of it was made or bought by my mum but I added a few bits when I first got it, like bridal books full of pictures of wedding dresses and also the strapless corset hanger I made out of paper clips (below).




New
This is my new drawing which is still underway as you can see :) As i'm Doctor Who crazy, I decided to draw a picture from one of my magazines as I was in the mood for sketching! It took me about an hour to do this bit as it's quite detailed and I hope to finish it, but knowing me i'll just leave it and never bother to get back to it! I would love to get it finished though!



To do
This here is my fashion project which I plan to do soon. I picked this Oscar De La Renta pattern out at the Creative Stitches and Hobbycrafts fair at the Brighton Centre 2 years ago. Never got round to doing it but hopefully will now! I plan to do the dress in red silk and have bright yellow lining so when it moves you should be able to see a flash of yellow. My mum wants me to scale it down and do a mini version for my little sister Lola but I don't know quite how to do that! A bit ambitious for me!
