Just in time for the 1st Advent, I have a little kitschy decoration for you that is also ideal as a Christmas decoration, th Decorative Hearts.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas time with continued beautiful snowy landscapes :-)

Yours,

Actually, a report from this year’s Anno 1900 Steampunk Convention in Luxembourg should follow here, including a new costume.
Instead of that, there is a small crochet work from 2021 to see, the Purple Spiderweb Top.

This small work was presented in a big way in another great shoot with Olaf Pinn .
Thanks for the great pictures :-)

Yours,

Ten years ago I was allowed to be part of the Machina Nostalgica, the first German steampunk exhibition in the Kreismuseum Prinzeßhof in Itzehoe!
I got to meet so many wonderful, creative and talented people and host my first opening weekend fashion show.
At this point a big thank you again to my great, beautiful models Raja, Jasmin, Josepha, Lea and Swenja, and of course also to the hairdresser Marlies and for the invisible but indispensable help in the background to my dear friend Sandra!

The small film contribution to the opening weekend can still be found at: Steampunk Exhibition Machina Nostalgica.

It was a wonderful time and I like to think back on it often :-)

Reminiscing… yours

And again crochet stuff, but a work from this year: The Victorian Mermaid Lace Shawl, which I made to match my great new boots :-)

My sewing projects are progressing slowly – I don’t have the right fabric and I’m running out of time until Anno 1900…

But the next big crochet project is already in the starting blocks ;-)

Let’s see what I have to show next…
Yours,

It’s hard to believe, but today I actually have something sewn to show and nothing crocheted ;-)

However, it is a quick & dirty work that was created in 2021, the Archer Vest with the matching Archer Wrist Warmers.

And no – I haven’t forgotten how to sew, it’s just all going a little slower than I’d like.
I hope I can make another update soon and show more :-)

Yours,

Again today I only have little stuff to present, while in the background I continue to work at a snail’s pace on my next major project.
So here it is, my sweet little Shrug in Beige.

See you soon!

Yours,

The work on my current project is progressing very slowly, there is a lack of time and energy – but I’m not giving up ;-)

Meanwhile, I still have a project from last year to present with pictures also from last year: The Camouflage Net Top!
As soon as spring comes, I’m looking forward to finally being able to wear this :-)

Yours,

This year doesn’t seem to get any better than the last two…
I am not well – so I’m always looking for little things to cheer me up.

These little things also include the new jewelry that Sandra made for me to match my great new boots and I would like to show it today:

Emerald Swirl Earrings and Mermaid Earrings

…and yes, the boots will certainly make an appearance at some point, but not today ;-)

In the hope that joie de vivre and creativity will soon be a part of me again and that I can share them with you, I wish you all the best and until the next post!

Yours,

Here is my interim status after my surgery: Finger is still there and healing – but slowly. Can’t sew properly again yet…
but planning and typing with one hand is ok ;-)

So until I can continue, let me introduce Doomslug & Boomslug to you!
I hope you find them as cute as I do ;-)

Yours,

This year will be better – this time for sure – always stay positive, I’m told ;-)

The pandemic has been declared over, events are taking place again and will we overcome all other crises too?
Get up, keep going – we have to…
Crafting, sewing, crocheting, dreaming of new projects, in short “creating something” helps me with that :-)

With this in mind, there is now a brief preview of the projects that have already been completed, which I would like to show. Much of it was already on this list last year ;-)

• 2016: Kya
• 2018: Flapper Dress
• 2021: Archer Vest
• 2021: Badass Tailcoat
• 2021: Purple Spiderweb Top
• 2022: Shrug in Beige
• 2022: Camouflage Net Top
• 2022: Doomslug & Boomslug

There are two works in progress, one of them a big one again ;-)

• a crochet crop top
• an outfit still untitled consisting of
• skirt (already finished)
• jacket(already finished)
• corset (in progress)
• hat (in progress)
• bag (in planning)
• petticoat (in planning)
• blouse (just an idea so far)

…and the ideas of the last two years have not been forgotten and a few new ones have been added:

• a Victorian crocheted cape
• another Victorian bustle dress
• a less self-made, but mainly bought cosplay in progress (from Avatar – The Last Airbender)
• another one (from Star Wars) only as an idea so far ;-)

But all ideas and works in progress have to rest in January because I won’t be able to use my hands as usual for a while due to an operation.
Updates will follow soon :-)

Yours,
