Midsummer cruising

10
Hauskaa Juhannusta!
Happy midsummer!
Midsummer is an important celebration here at the far end of the North.
It is a celebration of light and midsummer, celebrated during the summer solstice. Midsummer has long been associated with various beliefs and spells aimed at securing the future harvest and happiness of marriage ^^
Midsummer brings people by the water, and this year is no exception.

It is difficult to see in the picture, but the moon and the sun are found together in the sky.

Minä kerään kaiken pihalle esiin ja poltan"

Sewing Project: Dark Marie Antoinette, 18th century dress


I´ve always wanted to sew a historical dress.
This pattern is from Simplicity Patterns, but I made some changes for it. The hem is much longer and wider than in the original pattern.
I wanted to make the dress look dark and gothic. I got inspiration for this dress from Salem tv-show and Outlander season 2 costumes.
The large bows on the front are made of silk. I also used taffeta kind of material, and black satin. I added several satin roses to the dress
It is actually "coat" and under skirt that needs panniers and corset to functional.
There are large pockets, so I don't need any bag when using the dress.

Fancy shoe photoshoot with little pigs

I bought two pairs of used shoes. I found them as second hand, Minna Parikka's Raquel glitter heels.
I believe someone has bought them from sample sale because I didnt get any shoe box with them.
Anyways, these are very beautiful shoes. I wanted to do some fancy photoshoot for my blog, but I got some little companions!
I had chance to take care of two guinea pigs that I got from my friend. I called them by name, Kalevi and Olavi :D
I have had guinea pigs since childhood and I just love these little pigs! They are SO CUTE THAT I COULD DIE :D
So here are my pics with pigs. ^^
