Rococo

I have been a very busy bee this last week finishing on my 18th century dress for my Period Garments class that was due yesterday. Annnnnd here she is! She’s a 1770 Sack Back Gown.

This has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in my two years of WAAPA. I’m so proud of myself, I almost died of joy once I had sewn the last hook on.

Cécile Mimieux

A little while ago the beautiful Cécile Mimieux did a photo shoot with Perths own very talented David Woolley and luck me, they used the costume I made!

I am just bubbling over with joy. What beautidul photos Cécile and David have made.

If you are in Perth or ever will be I urge you to check both of these wonderful people out. Put it on your to do list!

Roller Waitress

This weekend will be my first solo event since V&V disbanded so I thought it time for a new uniform (it'll also double nicely for a lazy Halloween costume). I'll be selling some hats and trinkets at the 1st bout of Perth Roller Derby's second season.

I had a great time making this. I forget sometimes how much fun sewing can be when you have to do it everyday.

VV for Vivian Veil (my stage name. ;)

If any other Perth bloggers have bought a ticket come up and say "Hi".

Muriel and Charlie Webb

A few years ago my Nanny (my grandmother) gave me her old computer, on it there was a great deal of old family photos. The computer itself has long since died but I was able to dig up some of the photos recently so I thought I would share.

My nanny Muriel. I'd like to think that I look a bit like her. :D

Nanny and her sister Joan.

My Grandad Charlie.

Nanny, What a betty!

This just looks like the best holiday ever.

Arn't those glasses amazing?!

Grandad and a friend of his in Germany.

This photo was saved as The Custard House Gang. Nanny tells me The Custard House was the name of a pub where she used to go dancing every Saturday.

On their Wedding day.

I may be a little bias but I think she looks just amazing.

I hope I look as beautiful on my wedding day.

Nanny and my dad, Leslie.

Look how smart dad looks!

Flash forward to the late seventies. Left to right:

There you have it, the Webbs!

I hope you enjoyed,

Night before last I felt like a change. A purple kind of change. :D
