The Queen

I am so inspired by the Queen Elizabeth I also known as Elizabeth of England. I just LOVE her dresses, and the costumes during the 16th century. I would KILL just to produce one costume, or make something very modern out of it. So as in right now, I am totally crazy about the 16th century costumes AND also Italian smocking. Italian smocking is so hard to understand, I'm gonna look for another smocking book. I am also keen to learn to knit. I've knit before, I know the easy plain and purl stitch, but I want to do cables! Big one! I'm sure some of ya'll don't understand what I'm talking about..so google it!

I've been keeping a lot of books about costumes. I bought some in Paris. There was one costume specialist in my school, Miss Ann Bizette. She's crazy about my books of costume making. Well of course, I bought them from the best author.

One of my favorite books


It's good to be in Paris, you get to buy cool stuff


See what I mean?


In love with these

i was wondering what are you talking about when you say, "The other Boleyn Girl" and i figured that its a movie. well it is!lol!i saw it in Paris with Redza and the title is different.it's "Deux Soeurs Pour Un Roi" it actually means "2 sisters for one King".usually they change ALL the english title there. so funny,sometimes i felt i was in a different space.
