Whirl

It’s been a whirl around here lately, and I have so much to tell you, but to hold you over, just thought I’d share.  I’ve started receiving the most wonderful ornaments for the ornament swap, and the first one’s from Kim Westad, a ceramist from the Bronx (YO!).  The ornament is just precious, and you’ll get pics of that later, but I am SO IN LOVE with her work.  I especially love her Whirl collection.  And be sure to check her Etsy.  If only I could whirl in the peaceful, organic way that these pieces do…

Lottie Frank

I have a little fashion illustration love.  It’s something I’ve been doing most of my life, for me, doodles on napkins, in my sketchbooks, on notes during meetings (shhh, don’t tell).

Remember this post where I mentioned Lottie Frank?  Lottie Frank is the beautiful work of illustrator/designer Lucy Claydon.  Well, I don’t know if you’ve been watching, but there’s new work in her Etsy shop.

There’s more treasure to explore in her Flickr too.

It’s Getting A Bit Chilly…

Neck Warmer from Yokoo.  Be sure to check Yokoo’s Flickr stream/blog.

Rob recently set up shop on Etsy. I love his books (I get them as gifts all the time…)

Etsy Love

I have been clicking around on Etsy a bit more these days, looking for presents and checking out some wonderful art:

Bead Woven Leopard Animal Print Bracelet by MistyRidgeBeads.

justbebag.jpg

Make Up Bag by JustBeOnline.

drunkcircusdress.jpg

Drunk Circus Dress by desirapesta. I love this dress. Click over to Etsy and check out all the views. I know the perfect person for this dress (other than moi.) You must also check out the other items listed, like this Belted Katamari, The Oh Blouse.

sopuwrapskirt.jpg

Limited Edition Sopu Wrap Skirt by finnbiskit. More wonderful pieces in this shop.

I am so in love with this Pleated Top by treehouse28.  I also love the ruffled skirt.

Makes me want to fill up my sketch book, shop and make more clothes.  Good stuff out there.  Buy handmade.

Patterns

I love it when creative people publish their own patterns. I think before you shop at Vogue, Butterick, McCalls, Simplicity, etc – look for something cool from an independent creative.

I am thrilled about Yvestown’s pattern for the Ikea Skruvsta Chair that she recovered. Makes me want to run to IKEA, again, and buy the chair, just so I can try out the pattern and make my own cover.

I’ve been making a few of Betsy RossOne-For-All Bags. I love this pattern. Super versatile.

charmeddress.jpg

I’m thinking I’m going to make the Charmed Dress, in (plum?) velvet, for the holidays. Love the shape.

This Hustle Bustle Skirt is cute. The pattern is available on Etsy, as well as finished garments all by Miss Twiss.

And who needs a skirt pattern when you have a pillowcase and this tutorial?

 

melimadehaltertop.jpg

I love this Apron Halter Dress pattern from Melimade.

 

cashwrap.jpg

I think I might just have to make one of these Pockets Full of Cash Aprons from LuluKnits.

Muse has some cute patterns. I like this reversible apron, it’s such a pretty shape.

I’m always on the lookout for patterns like these – have you found any? I’d love to add them to my list.
