BETTER TV

I just found yet another cool website for us DIY'ers to use as a resource for our fashion and craft fanaticism. Better TV is an online webshow that features videos on cooking, fashion, home repair, crafts etc. It's so cool.

I tell you, a girl could sit and watch this kind of stuff all day long and just go bananas with all the projects offered. One day soon I keep telling myself.

The internet has been such a blessing to me and this is one of the reasons why. Where else can you find information on your favorite subjects right at your fingertips - besides the library. The difference is, you do not have to read anything, or make copies. You can just watch TV, as it were, and keep going back to it again and again.

I love my HGTV, but Better TV has hit the spot with this kind of webshow. Perhaps other cable shows with websites will follow suit. It's instant gratification and awareness through this entertainment medium.

So I'm happy as can be that I've found you Better TV....you are definitely Better For Me!

FAIRIE, FAERIE BEAUTIFUL!!



Here is a book I found 3 years ago featuring fashions for Faeries. "Fairie-ality" from the House of Ellwand by David Ellwand (Photographer), Eugenie Bird, David Downton (Illustrator), used earthly materials from the forest to create exquisite haute couture fashions.



















Each outfit is described in detail and features its Faerie character.

The book ended with the culmination of photos of the wedding attire for the Queen Mother and all the Faeries in the forest, as they were attending the wedding of the Faerie Princess to her Faerie Prince. It is pure enchantment.

I have never forgotten this book because it showed me how creative one can be without using expensive materials....all you need is a little (or alot) of imagination.

PAPER COUTURE

So take a look at these incredible paper creations by Danish fashion designer Violise Lunn. (My thanks to "Ullabenulla" site for the name of the designer)

Ghostly or Heavenly bodies!















Just devine! And you know I love (me) some shoes!! :0)
