Testing, Testing, 1,2,3.....

Just wanting to test if using Firefox is better for blogging with a Mac, and so far so good. I can see that I now have lots of preferences like colour, italics, bold, and various fonts to play with.... not to mention text size. How exciting!!!

I am also guessing that I can link to other website and blogs without too much trouble. Here goes..... My Art is My Outlet
Thanks to Dizzy Jadey for posing the question about blogging with a Mac and for getting answers that I can use.

That is all for now, but trust me, I will be blogging a lot more often now that it is so much easier for me. You have no idea what a drawn out process it was using Safari.

Last Two Hats....sob, sob...

I am finishing up my 2 year TAFE Millinery course this week. I am a little sad, as I don't think I will study anything next year and am already feeling a little lost. Anyway, the TAFE Fashion Parade is on tomorrow night, and our hats will be on display (on a display table). I will take some pictures of that later, but for now......




OK sorry I may as well try to get the other pictures in tonight. They are just some pictures of how the hats were displayed tonight...




and my dress.....

Smurfs T-Shirt for James

Just had to post a picture of James wearing the Smurfs t-shirt that we bought from Lottielulu. Thank you Ingrid, James loves it, and so do I!!

Here Comes the Bride....

I wish!!! I would love to have a reason to get all dressed up again. Anyway, I just thought I would pop in a picture of my latest 'complete' millinery project. It has been 'in progress' for quite a few months, but since I saw an advertisement in our local paper for our TAFE fashion parade which will be held on the 20/21st of November, I have started to freak out. I have to complete the 'in progress' headpieces quicksmart!!

So, this is my major bridal headpiece. An off-white silk flower headpiece (using a raw silk, silk satin and a silk chiffon) finished with champagne coloured crystals, and a veil finished in crystals. The flowers were all hand-made using French flowermaking tools.



What on earth am I going to do with a piece like this now????
