Meet the new girl at Casa SVJ....(Post# 97)

WOW....A TWO POSTER....Mind....These have been put together during Mr SVJ's snack breaks (he's been immersed in an excel spreadsheet all day doing his tax) so please forgive the fact they're a little 'light on'....!

OK....So the day wasn't a total loss....I taught myself how to make a crochet flower garland AND collected this GORGEOUS Dress Dummy that I won on eBay last night for a VERY reasonable price....WOOHOO....Isn't she a BEAUTY....!

Now I must FLY....Mr SVJ's BLEATING again 'cause I'm using his laptop & I have a few Christmas parcels to pack that need to go to the post office tomorrow....!

With ANY luck I'll get some visitin' in late tonight....!!


Isn't she FINE....This beauty is an Esse Jane from the Myer Emporium....PERFECT display piece....!

Way COOL industrial stand....!

My mohair garland is around 2m long & has 53 flowers slightly larger than a 5cent piece (dime for my US Friends)....

I'm working on the second one now....  :o) !!

Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)

    I have the exact (well, identical) same dummy!! Courtesy of a closing down school years ago. She's a little fragile these days so just does display duty though I have photographed a few ebay items with her in my time!
    Great to know where she came from!

    Hi Tamarah,
    Wow! The dress form is a real beauty! Great find. The crocheting looks like fun and is something I have always wanted to try. The problem is I can't sit still long enough to complete anything crafty and stitchy.

    How are you doing my friend? Is your computer well yet? Your dress form is quite the shapely gal. It will be fun to dress her up for the holidays. I haven't crocheted since I was young either. You seem to be doing a fabulous job with your fluffy garland!
