Kelly's Necktie Skirt 

Kelly's Necktie Skirt

When Kelly arrived to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with our family her destiny was already sealed.... Of course she was going to make a skirt - no question. She chose mostly blues. Didn't it turn out cute? She figures her sister is going to want it - or maybe steal it - so she immediately started a second one. It's almost done!

Heather knows she looks great in her necktie skirt - oh yeah!!!! 

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

I'm so happy to have my brother, Brad , his wife Heather, and their daughter, Alexandria visiting for Thanksgiving! They have recently moved to Arizona and it is so nice to have family here. Alex and I made this skirt for Heather about a year ago. Doesn't it look great?!?!?

How Cute Is This?

Jessica made this miniature necktie skirt for her five-year-old cousin! It's all Christmas-themed ties - kid's sized - What do you think?

Oh yeah! After making the necktie hats from the ends of the 70's ties - I knew I had to do something with the remaining sections. So.... I started a bag - I'll finish it eventually - and then got distracted by THIS idea! A necktie corset belt. It turned out pretty well, so I made three more. I know I'm obsessed!

Necktie Madness

Yes, I'm afraid it's gone too far this time. I found myself obsessed with working out the details of this hat. First - it's made with hideous 1970's wide ties. Second, it's topped with a ridiculous button (can the propeller be far behind?) And finally - my DD actually agreed to wear it. Enjoy!

For All Who Are Ready To Make A Necktie Skirt!

Well, I misplaced Paris Hilton's cell phone number so if anyone knows how to reach her, just ask her to call Laura about the pink necktie skirt - thanks!
