llyrafantasyfae | Year in Review... (Reply)

First completed thing of the new year. So yes the majority of the work was done in 2010 but it wasn't complete until 2011.

New sleeves for the Ren faire garb.

first attempt at historically accurate headwear

pair of drawers to go with my Italian Ren

My Italian Renaissance over gown aka Autumn Gown. I am so glad I took the leap and tried this challenge.

A couple years in the making and many previous versions, this costume is at last done!

Starting to do some retro/vintage sewing in my mix. 1930s beach pajamas.

Flounder and Ariel costumes for Halloween

Petticoat for my 50's circle skirts

First quilt completed in 2011. One for my 2nd cousin, and the first girl one I did.

Second quilt of the year

baby bibs and more baby stuff

my yearly pj total was: 5

an "I love you quilt" for my hubby made from his old t-shirts

Quilt made for hubby's dad. I tried using what I was learning about the color wheel and nuetrals. Plus its my own pattern. :)

Mother's day quilt. tried using fleece as a backing. Probably will never do that again.

Quilted pillow. B-day present

Yo Gabba Gabba shirt

Crayon roll. Christmas present for my god daughter,

(no picture)
Blue satin circle skirt for a Christmas party

pillow case embroidery

Another part of a bday gift. Sort of an inside joke.

hair pretties

Christmas ornaments. I made probably 7 different gingerbread men but didn't get pictures of them.

As always at the end of the year I wish I had gotten more costumes done. But you know what, I didn't do half bad. I really challenged myself this year with The Italian Ren dress. I went back to work and STILL produced stuff. I am going to take this year as a win and not be so hard on myself like I have previous years. If I can keep producing one really good and challenging to me costume and two or three others that I am proud of, a year, I won't be upset.
Not only that but I didn't realise how many 'other' things I made this year. WOW!
