About

So, your tutorials are absolutely fabulous. Just sayin'. Also, has anyone ever told you that you kind of look like Alexis from the tv show Castle?

Hi! I love your initiative and the detail you put in your tutorials. I don't do much more than sewing buttons right now, but I really want to learn more to do my own stuff and people like you inspire me deeply. Thanks for sharing your work!

@Jane: Thanks so much! Will be on the lookout for it

Love your projects!

Your "Don't buy...DIY" motto inspires me. Now, I browse my favorite stores just to see what I can make. BTW, I bookmarked your site so I can check it often.

@katcar~ no problem! I thought your necklace was great<3 The more you practice, the better your creations will get!
Thanks for your comments!

I really love your projects! they give me so much inspiration. now I have to check your website!

Hi Catfish! That's cool that the higher-denier tights resisted shredding too far...I'll have to try that too!
That's awesome they're holding up!
You did a great job - looks fab!
Thanks for letting me know-

Hi Carly
I used quite thick tights (I think they are 60 denier or more) so they were pretty hard to shred. I found that most of the shreds stopped naturally then I dabbed the polish at teh ends of the shreds and around the edges of the holes just to be sure. Have worn them a couple of times and haven't found that they have shredded any further. Thanks for the great idea x

Jelly Jam: You are so sweet! I wanted to...but last season was so awfully done...(did you see it on Lifetime?? BLECH!) Plus, I'm a great knock-off artist...on-the-spot designer tho? Maybe not so much...You're super-sweet though and I'm so flattered!
Thanks for the comment!

You're really good. You should try out for project runway.

Hi eccemullier! No problem - glad to be your friend! I respect anybody who's brave enough to DIY shoes - many are scared of it!;-) (And I do love shoes terribly - working on making my own right now by forming them on some lasts I bought...so much fun.
You're so sweet for your comment! Thank you and hope to see more from you too!
Have a great day-

Thank you edie l.! I appreciate you taking the time to comment (especially when you usually don't!) I just joined cut out + keep after being frustrated with the user experience on Craftster. (It's so easy to upload tutes here!)
I can't wait to check out your blog - I'll leave you feedback when I do!
I'm not sure what you mean about my blog being "amazing" heh heh...it's nowhere near as awesome as I'd like it to be...but otherwise it's just doing a little bit of work on it, day after day, and things adding up after a time, tweaking, tweaking, tweaking. Eventually I have to redesign the interface for it but I'm being lazy now since it's the hols and all.
Thanks for your comment - glad you like my projects!

I normally don't comment on peoples profiles but your projects are just beautiful. I saw your work featured on a blog and I did not know you were on cut out and keep. I love your shredded tights project, which I am going to do soon, and your rodarte inspired heels, if I wore heels I would have already made them
Maybe sometime you could check out my projects and my blog

Thank you judithchen! You are so sweet!:-D And really, building a blog is just lots and lots of time - adding a little bit as often as you can - and then, eventually, it adds up to something really cool! Keep at it & send me the link to your blog!

Your projects are amasing!!

Noelia Citialin: Thanks! The necklace was from F21, no longer sold so my tutorial's a little obsolete now.

GreenEyes0991: No prob! Glad to add you to my friends!<3

Alexis K.: Thank you so much Alexis K.! I actually started writing articles for FashionTribes.com (where I'm a contributing editor) and my blog originally began as a place for me to showcase all the articles I had written in one spot. Then I added more and more, and eventually it took on a life of its own!

Thanks for your comments!
