Kat's birthday weekend

[jennylafleur]

Last weekend I had a lovely time traveling north to madamekat's birthday gala. isabelladangelo and I were rather like the Keystone Cops getting up there (and getting dressed) but once we got to the party I had a wonderful time. It was great fun hanging out with the costuming contingent including laracorsets, blackcat452, & dragoneyes19 - yay for talking and meeting internet people in person!

I wore one of my most favorite "this-old-things", my sparkly Regency dress and the Golden Diadem Bridget made me. It was fun to pull them of the closet and wear them again.


One of the reasons I didn't try to make anything new to wear was I was too busy making a birthday gift for Kat! I made a little beaded bag. I quite fell in love with the little bat design, especially once I put the sequin eyes on him, he really came to life. I might need to make one for myself now! I used the 2.5mm silver and 3mm gunmetal sequins I just bought from Cartwright's. Yay!

The day after the party madamekat took us to the famous Jomar. It was quite the experience and I found a couple of neat things, but more on that later... :>

My photos from the party can be found here on Flickr.

That is the most adorable bag ever!

Thanks! I knew you would approve. :>

That purse is way to cute to only make one!

Of course I might consider a different shape...that is if I were to have one made for me...hint...hint...

LOL. What you wouldn't want a whole collection of that shape purse? :>

Never really pegged you as a bat girl. You know somehow you still managed to surprise me sometimes.

ACK! Bag love! That is too adorable!

You looked beautiful and it was great to see you again! and that bag is just adorable, makes me want to bead things. I think my attention is wandering to everything and anything but 18th century at the moment.

Thanks so much! I throughly enjoyed beading again - I want to do more now! I totally know what you mean about the attention wondering to anything but what one is currently working on. I cleared my sewing schedule to work on teens stuff and now I'm having the hardest time staying focused on it!

What a perfect birthday present for her! It's so cute, and so pretty with all the sparklies :)

[jennylafleur.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You know me, I have to sparkle up everything. :> Hey did I read right on one of your other comments that you are coming to LA this August mr was it wishful thinking? *holds breath*

I LOVE the bag to no end!! I have it hanging on display in my sewing room so I can see it all the time.

I was so glad that you came up for the party! Yes, Jomar is ...interesting, to say the least *laugh* But you have to admit I do get some awesome fabric scores in there.

[jennylafleur.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm SO glad you like it!! :>

Interesting isn't bad - I had a great time! Thanks for taking us! :>

That little bag is adorable! You do such creative things!

[jennylafleur.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I always have great plans for little things like this but rarely seem to get to them. It was fun to actually do it this time! :>

I love the little batty bag! So cute and sparkly!

Sounds like you had fun, looking forward to seeing your Jomar haul.

[jennylafleur.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

My haul isn't too impressive when you look at it I guess but I'm really happy with eerything I got... ::
