Doily Wedding Dress of Infinite Adorability

Whilst finding myself, once again, trapped on Craftzine in an rabid devouring of crochet patterns, I stumbled upon shots of this SUPER adorable hand made doily dress from a California mountain elopement, featured on 100 Layer Cake.

The bride apparently ripped apart a vintage dress to use as a base for the under-dress pattern, then crocheted all the doilies for the dress in a three week block (is she the fastest crochet-er of all time?!), and they finished the dress the morning-of and sewed her into it! O_O;; Her SUPER cute shoes were dyed to the colour she wanted and the embellishments? Vintage earrings used as shoe clips. ADORABLE!

And my Mum wouldn’t let me use any doilies I’ve inherited for clothing! So digging out all the ones I’ve bought from Op Shops and clothinating them like I planned.

Take THAT Brute Force & Cynicism…

Because the Desk of the Velvet Scribe is a locked tight, friends only kind of affair, I thought I’d repost this because of its sheer awesome.

So about a month ago, Matt Smith & Chris Hardwick guest starred on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. There was SUPPOSED to be this epical musical introduction to open the show and introduce any non-Whovian viewers to the the whole idea and why the guest stars were so awesomecakes.

Unfortunately, the producers failed to get clearance to use the theme song and so that whole section had to be dropped. WOE!

Apparently Craig Ferguson was pretty irate about it, and from watching the video YOU CAN SEE WHY! GO GO you tiny plush puppets of informative exposition! :D

Tea that judges your accomplishments…

Eeeeheheee! I so wish this Pride & prejudice Mug could go on our engagement registry, but its a rather SINGULAR gift (vs a coupular gift? xD xD). But ah! So cute, surely you’d have to be constantly reading whilst ‘taking a turn about the room’ when drinking from this? xD

PS: There’s a Wodehouse one available from them too, booyah.

All Saints Urien Aditya Dress = DO WANT

I’m too tired and ‘coded out’ today to post a pic of this seriously epical “All Saints Urien Aditya Dress,” but take my word for it. DO. WANT.

Or at least an interestingly put together home-made facsimile thereof.

Om nom nom nom nom. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a wrap dress. And one with so many details and that can be converted to having a hood? Honestly WHERE has it been all my life!? xD

Artistic Teal Deer, anyone? :D

d.i.y. project: recycled crayon shapes « HAUTE NATURE. Oh man do I ever want to do this a whole mess. Especially for a certain aspect of a certain major life event that may or may not be coming up for myself and Greg next year…

*waggles eyebrows meaningfully in Jenji’s direction*

xD

SO CUTE! And so fun :D

Little Girl Lost: The Anachronism

The Anachronism – Check out the full steampunk squid film
– Watch more Tech Videos at Vodpod.

I’ve had this short film open in my tabs to watch since April. >_<;; FINALLY I watched it today and though I found the American accents of the cast a little jarring (apparently in my head all steampunk MUST HAVE British accents – which makes zero sense, but go figure xD) its quite a lovely little lilting piece of film: WHICH FEATURES A SPACE SQUID.

Need I say more? xD

HOLY! I completely forgot about this dress…


I recall seeing this dress a year or so ago and screaming that I NEEDED it. And then I promptly forgot ALL about it.  Then perusing a ‘show us your dream dress’ thread at offbeatbride.com, I stumbled across it again. O_O;;

I’d commented to Q last night that I wasn’t such a peacock fan. But CLEARLY I WAS WRONG, because DO WANT THIS DRESS! But in different colours… MUHAHAHA! Teal/turqoise and red, anyone? :D DELICIOUS!

Really do need to make that paper-tape dress form I’ve been talking about making with a bunch of my friends for about, what, three years? Guys? GAWDS!

GO YOU BIG NOT AT ALL RED UNRELATED TO FIREENGINES DEER HEAD!

“The Truth About Myth Deer Head Trophy Sculpture by citizenobjects” If I had nine thousand dollars to just drop on something LUDICROUS that I completely enjoy,  I feel it may have to be this. xD Check out the other ‘angles’ that the antlers can go at, DEER TREE!

So cute hanging birdcages and swallows nests from its branchtlers <3

Huge collar of ridiculous proportions, much?!

We’re out Vogue Patterns hunting! And I’m sorry, but I find this dress completely RIDICULOUS and I am totally drafting myself a similar pattern for the dress on the right. V8359
Misses’/Misses’ Petite Coat Dress

Well played, parentless child…

Mayor: What do you know about orphans?
DeathSpank: They have no parents.
Mayor: You are well informed.

WANT. TO. PLAY!
O_O

Seriously have a need to get this game. Any game where the hero waxes lyrical about his future path paved with bacon is a must have in my book. *tears of joy*

Too bad it’s EA, but you can’t have everything. read more »
