LiD Designs Sketchpad...: September 2009
http://lid-designs.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 3, 2009. I have been working with manipulating my own Sinamay this week. Today I have been testing out making curved Calla Lilies. Sinamay is great to work with like this because it is soft and flexible, but it also hold shapes and twists and turns into interesting forms. They’re not finished yet, but you can see how the shape is holding up. I have used a curled green biot goose feather as a stamen in the large one. Wednesday, September 2, 2009. Centre front – 6” mini beret. You can r...

LiD Designs Sketchpad...: Famous Flags Collection.
http://lid-designs.blogspot.com/2010/08/famous-flags-collection.html
Thursday, August 19, 2010. Well the last 6 months have just flown by work wise. A LOT of bridal orders leading up to and right through the summer. For my birthday I treated myself to a new mini hat block from Guy Morse Brown. And in between orders I’ve been working away on a lot of new designs using it as the basis. Some are already available in the shop. But soon to be released is this Famous Flags Collection. Mini hats decorated in the style of the US and UK flags, perfect for country pride!

http://lid-designs.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 19, 2009. Just a little something I couldn’t resist! And the real beauty is it was less than $7! It is that perfect fun summer statement necklace and is going to look awesome with the new long black jersey maxi dress I picked up last week for less than $30. Recession busting at its best :). Thursday, June 18, 2009. Lady GaGa Inspired Finds. Today I have been pottering about looking out Lady GaGa inspired items on Etsy. Avant Garde Polka Dot Top by LolitaVintage.

LiD Designs Sketchpad...: It’s Vintage Sunday!
http://lid-designs.blogspot.com/2010/08/its-vintage-sunday.html
Sunday, August 22, 2010. It’s Vintage Sunday! As fall approaches I’m currently obsessing about the current trend of clogs. I searched out my own fabulous vintage pair in my favourite shoe shade (I have like 8 pairs of shoes in this colour from boots to gladiators.). And they are a great fit, they dont ‘fly off’ at all, a major clog wearing issue :). But don’t despair, there are still loads of hot clogs still available on etsy, so get in there quick (before the snow comes)! Welcome to LiD Designs Sketchpad.

LiD Designs Sketchpad...: August 2010
http://lid-designs.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. So a brand new goody arrived in the mail today. Brand new as in new to me, but in reality 96 years old. I finally managed to score a vintage child’s Singer sewing machine class 20. It was listed as fully functional but there are 2 vital parts missing, one I can easily get a hold of, but the other is proving harder to research a dealer of. The major part thats missing is the looper which hooks the thread from underneath and creates the chain stitch, it looks like it sheared off...

LiD Designs Sketchpad...: This season I will mostly be rocking…..
http://lid-designs.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-season-i-will-mostly-be-rocking.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. This season I will mostly be rocking…. I have found mine and its fabulous! It’s vintage Nordstrom from Westland. Even Burberry are girlifying their classic trench, taking it shorter and tighter in a softer shimmery fabric. Love the huge hook and eye on the exaggerated collar stand. Jean Paul Gaultier for Target is releasing this nautical mix trench on March 7th. And at only $59.99 I guarantee it will be sold out in the first half an hour! 65 from Secret Lake.

Sunday, September 14, 2008. Working out how to crochet a mini hat.I'm stuck! I want to eventually make a mini beret but for now I want little capel style to wear on the side of the head like the 'Cool Girl' from Fridays 'Spot' embellished with self coloured sequins or rhinestones. Omega Nylon Crochet Thread. The top pic is a shot of the reels and the lower shot is of a quick earring I made up quickly to try out the thread. Saturday, September 13, 2008.

Friday, August 20, 2010. I’m sorry, but, what. the. hell? It’s like Cyber-Barbie. And, um, is it only me but doesn’t she look pregnant? For those of you who don’t know (that would be most people outside of the UK) This is the British glamour model Jordan, real name Katie Price. Now I can’t knock a self made millionaire, this woman has made a fortune out of her body, and for her, this is A LOT of clothing! But seriously love, ever heard of the saying, Before you leave the house, take one thing off? You ca...
