Something Pithy

Mmm....pithy!

That is a pith helmet to go with the steampunky skirt. 

This is a short and sweet re-fashion.  I found a cheap old, not very nice pith helmet at a thrift store.  Then I covered the whole thing in a coordinating green mesh and tacked it up under the brim.  Then I sewed on the tulle which will match the blouse I wear with it.

I still feel light on accessories but this will have to do! 

Spinning My Wheels

I just do not seem to be getting anywhere fast and it is frustrating. The hooks and eyes I bought for the 1931 dress just do not seem to be doing the trick. They are not staying closed. So off to buy some teeny tiny snaps. I think the snaps will work better. I am just tired of fiddling with these hooks and eyes.


Seriously, I fail. It just shouldn’t be this hard or this frustrating. I am so tempted to call in sick just so that I can finish these two dresses.

Soooo with no further ado, some eye candy of the two vintage hats purchased yesterday:

They are pretty..no?  I love them and cannot wait for them to arrive.
