monsieur celebrity

just discovered that the blog softiescentral featured monsieur croque monsieur! it's tiny, but it's the first publicity i know of! exciting!

Blushing Brioche

so I finally got around to finalizing the brioche design and getting a few done. this is one of 5 that i made, they're all pretty much the same of course. i'm still working on the pain au raisin, i was waiting to get purple thread to sew raisins on and i finally got some this weekend.... so soon, soon. i also made a baguette this weekend :



i don't know if i should be calling it a baguette though because it's about 4-5 inches thick and, tops, 2.5 feet long... whereas real baguettes are only a few centimeters thick and up to a meter long. but that's alright, real baguettes don't have faces either i suppose.

at the same trip to joann's that i bought purple thread i also bought a sticker maker. it has this crank on the side and so you literally crank out stickers, i haven't had a chance to give it a go yet but there'll definitely be an update on that!

the next few weeks should be exciting i hope!

since classes have started (last tuesday) i really haven't had much time for sewing. i managed to finish shanalogic's order of croissants but they've been sitting in my room for almost 4 days now just waiting to be mailed (addressed and everything!). so once i get those out i'll feel somewhat accomplished. but basically all my sewing and crafting is on hold until i can find time! i just hope i do find time!

i have a brioche and pain au raisin in the second round of designing. i've got their patterns and instructions i just need to actually start making them with the adjustments since the first round. i'm really excited about both of them though, especially the brioche! i keep writing about them but it probably doesn't look like i've made any progress but my goal of this coming weekend is to at least get one fantastic batch of brioches out of it!

really, they're cute. until i get a photo of my rendition, imagine these guys :



with faces!

what's cookin?

so i've been really bad about writing anything here lately.

i'm already buried in classes and it's not even been 3 days yet. but i have lots of hopes and plans (and support!) which make me confident that there are many more croissants to be made!

in the meantime, i've been working on an order of croissants for shanalogic. i currently have 6 done, a few more and some berets and they should be good to go by this weekend! until then :



i also got more screens and bulbs from feltcafe so i will be very BUSY and hopefully have a very FULL etsy shop VERY soon!
