Delivered



I promised you better pictures. I've also included a 50's housewife that I'm not crazy about for numerous things.
I hate how the powder-puff turned out. I looked at my husband after I finished it and said, "Uhhgh, it looks like she's eating a fuzzy doughnut." The other project I've included is a gamer phrase from the game "Portal" on the "Orange Box". "The Cake is a Lie!" Is scribbled across the wall in one scene. Since in the point of the game you're testing a companies new weapon and at the end you'll get freedom AND CAKE. I'd go into more detail, but this blog is a sewing blog and not a gaming one.

Pinups


You should have figured out by now that I LOVE pin-ups. It's a common bond that my husband and I enjoy. We love the 1940's-50's thing. I think we're intrigued by the simplicity of life back then, but everything was so elegant and classy. Women don't do their hair and makeup everyday, wear skirts, stockings, garters, or even dance anymore. Nobody throws on their furs and pearls, and heads out to a nice restaurant with a swingin' big Band.
I've always believed I was born during the wrong era. Now, figuring out which era I'm suppose to be in is the hard part.

My completed project this week is a pin up with fishnet stockings. I'm so sorry about the picture. Pillows and scanners = disaster picture. Whenever I get a chance I'll be sure to get out the digital camera. This project was fun.

Also, a little secret between you and I.... her boobs are padded as well.
