Are You a Rosie?

The Phoenix Art Museum's wonderful "In the Mood" fashion exhibit ended last Sunday, and they offered a free hat and wig-making workshop called "Are You a Rosie?" a few days before it closed. My dear friend Rose and I went, and really enjoyed the class—the wig-making process turned out to be a very creative idea, as they use twisted paper cording to create deceptively simple “hair” pieces. She and I each worked on a hat, though we didn’t have much luck with the glue they provided :-)

Here’s a couple of pics from the evening—I’m wearing the aqua cotton eyelet peasant blouse I made (I’m working on the skirt right now), along with jeans and snood (from Arthelia’s Attic—stay tuned for more photos of her wonderful creations!)

  1. That blouse is perfection!

    BTW, you know the gingham blouse you bought from Katy K's? That was from Lauren's (Blooming Leopold) shop! She loves that you got it!

    I just love that blouse--I even wore it on the way home from Nashville! Maybe I'll get a chance to meet Lauren during my next visit :-)
