Hi there,
I figure I should start out bu introducing myself. My names Lisa and I recently moved to the US from England. I am a professionally trained costume designer and maker (specializing in corsetry). I am now turned home-maker who is constantly making stuff for my kids or just to stay sane!!
I have recently started selling some of my creations on Etsy (WoollyLamb.Etsy.com) but wanted somewhere to show my projects that are still in progress. Hopefully people will be able to see what I'm working on and make requests for any specific items/colours/sizes they may want.
At the moment I'm having fun with crocheting. I only learned how to do it last year but I seem to have a gift for it. At least that's what my friends would say as they were buying up my stock!! They were always urging me to get my stuff on Etsy or somewhere others could see it and buy it and I finally got around to it!! I never use patterns. That's because I can't make head nor tail of them!! Most times I get an idea and just start crocheting the shapes I want and it always turns out great. Usually I'll only recreate something I've designed a few times. Mostly because I get bored doing the same thing over and over. So whatever you buy you can guarantee you'll never see others wearing the same thing!
Other crafty things that keep me out of trouble are dress making. I trained at university doing period costume. I can make pretty much anything from 17th and 18th century crinolines to Louis 16th waistcoats and much more in between. I've worked in several theaters making costumes. Its my true passion!! I chose that career path because I could work freelance from home and still have children. I guess I wanted it all!!! My husband is in Grad School right now and the extra money from my crafts really makes a difference.
I hope you enjoy checking out my blog. There will be lots more items on here than I'll ever get around to putting on Etsy, mainly because I don't have stock long before my friends see it!! If you have an idea you need help realizing you can leave me a message and hopefully we can work together to create something wonderful!

*Please Note*
The actual colors of items may vary in shades due to lighting in photography, however I will also give a color description on all my items to try to make things easier for you.
