and it’s fantastic – freezing actually improves the texture and makes it more flaky! I often make a couple extra and freeze them as flattened balls in ziploc…[Read more]

I made art museum trousers for my nephew while it snowed. I just need his inseam length so I can…[Read more]

The dress is going to be superb if your teaser is any indication. Can’t wait to see it!

Update! I decided to have a go at it and just completed a test dress today! I’m so excited!! I’m prepping an entry for my blog with photos that I will link to when it’s completed. I’m going to write up what I did this time and what I plan to do on the final dress. It was so much fun! Can’t wait to share it!

Here’s a teaser image for the test dress! Enjoy!
