New Weezi Wristlets

New Weezi Sign and New Weezi Wristlets

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
I have a new sign for the studio that I am excited to put up...


I just have to put a couple more coats of varathane on it.
My Dad cut it out for me and I think it turned out great.
We are going to hang out right beside the door downstairs.
****
There are some cute little wristlet bags in the studio.


I am going to list them on Etsy over the next
couple of days.

It has been awhile since I made small bags.
They are a blast to put together.


I had to do crazy colour combos...you know me.


I don't really like to make bags that are plain.

Have a great Thursday Pussycats!
Be in touch!! Luv Weezi xoxoxox

I did a search on vintage wicker purses this morning.
I LOVE wicker bags for the summer!!

A whole wall of vintage wicker purses....sigh!

The strawberries on this one are fabulous!!!!

I think they are adorable....a true sign of summer!

This one is amazing...black and white goes with everything!!

I was on live TV this morning.....

I was on live TV this morning.....

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
LIVE from London Ontario it's Thursday morning!!!!!!

I was on the A Channel morning show today at a very early 8:15 am!!
Early for me that is!
It went very well.
I would like to say a big Thank You to Jeremy and
Cheryl for making me feel so welcome and showing the interest they did
in my bags and the studio.
It was a lot of fun and I hope I did seem like a "boob".

Milos was kind enough to come w me this morning to help me carry stuff...


He took some "behind the scenes" pics.
I am trying not to look groggy and tired while I wait.


Good thing the spot was only 4 minutes b/c I have a tendency to rattle on ;)


I think the newspaper bags were a big hit.

Me...always talking with my hands.

It is funny to see pictures of your self when you know you are being watched.
You know what I mean??
It isn't the same as looking at party pics or pics taken w your friends.
It feels like you are more exposed somehow..more "naked" feeling.
I don't know how to explain it exactly.


Anyhow..it was a lot of fun and I was thrilled to be asked.
I really enjoyed meeting everyone .

Have a great afternoon Pussycats!!!
Be in touch!

Cute "Upcycled" Sweaters

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!!!
I found this seller today on Etsy.

The Devil Made Me Do It

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=72117
She is in Washington D.C.

I like what she has been up to...


Here is some of her profile....

"So many people stopped me on the streets to ask about things I'd made that I actually considered (for a brief moment) going to fashion school. Alas, after meeting with the good folks at a couple of fashion schools in New York City, I realized that was not my scene. Not only was it dominated by men, I was also having trouble reconciling the whole consumerism thing. I didn’t want to convince women they didn’t already look fabulous and so NEEDED to buy more clothing. And the idea that people would pay money for Re-vitalized clothing made from Recycled materials was still a long way off."


She sounds like a gal after my own heart!
I have added her to my favourites on Etsy and look forward to what
she comes up with next!
Check her out on Etsy when you get a chance....great stuff!

Have a nice (chilly!) Tuesday Pussycats!
Be in touch !!!!!

I Love British Street Style and my friend India....

I Love British Street Style and my friend India....

When I was in grade 9 and 10 I was heavily inspired by
British fashion. I would pour thru British magazines looking for
inspiration on what to wear the next day.
I would comb thru Sassy and another mag called In Fashion and
my favourite from the UK...19 magazine.
I had an "in" at the time to how the British mind worked thru my
very eccentric friend India. She came to my neighbourhood at the just the right time.
Straight off the plane from Manchester and right onto my street.

I was soo impressed with her and her accent and her style.
She taught me about Fun Boy 3 and Selector.
Anyhow!- I digress...she was loads of fun and who spend hours putting crazy outfits together
to try and be as different as possible
from all the preppy kids we went to high school with.
Our high school was very conservative and we tried to be as different
and over the top as possible.
The idea was to shock and we tried our best!
My Mum was shaking her head every time we left the house.

Why I am telling you this?
Because whenever I go to the HOY web page I think of India and how much
I love British Street style.
http://www.hoyfashion.co.uk/about.php

If you like to check out street style....you will love this site.


I will have to see if I have any pics of India and I anywhere to scan in.


This is one is my fav today. I LUV these jeans.
I am inspired to make myself a pair like this.
She doesn't look too much taller then I.....hmm!
....a project for me!

Have a great Sunday Pussycats!

Today is Fashion Show day!

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Today is the day!!!!
Finally, after all these weeks of planning and organizing and list making
it IS the day to COME ON DOWN!
I am really excited!! It is going to be a very fun show!
After many hours of sewing and taping and gluing we have 55 fabulous dresses
for you to look at and 5 fantastic games to watch.
It will be an hour that will entertain you!

Here is a sneak peak at some of the dresses that will be showcased tonight.

There will be a mix of dresses that have been influenced by different decades.
I have some from my favourite decade the 50's...


And a few from the 70's....b/c I do like the silhouettes from the 70's.
I just wasn't a big fan of the fabrics....grrrr! all that polyester!

And there will be some Weezi favourites in there too like the Charlotte Dress
and the the Party Dress.



Lastly, I have a little bit of re-worked vintage in there too.

If you need any details about time and place call the CEEPS
at 519-432-1425.



The show starts at 8:00 in the CEEPS at the dance floor area.
It is free and it is all ages.
There is parking behind the CEEPS and on the street.
The kitchen will be open and they have some mighty fine "eats" on their menu!

Hope to see you all there yelling out whether
it is "higher" or "lower"! ;)

Be in touch!
Luv Weezi xoxoxoxo

Condom Fashion Show

Condom Fashion Show (not mine!)

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
My Auntie sent me these photos last night....and WOW!
Check out these dresses!!!!


There are incredible!


I did a search and found this info on what they were doing...

Models parade in outfits made of condoms during a fashion show at the 4th China Reproductive Health New Technologies & Products Expo in Beijing July 11, 2007. Condoms of all shapes and sizes were used to make dresses, hats and even lollipops. Models fought through extravagant soap bubble special effects to show off tight-fitting wedding gowns, scaly-looking evening dresses, outrageous bikinis and other garments made entirely of condoms.
I would never have the patience...ever.
OMG! all the pinning and placing and measuring....grrr!


Some of these are really quite pretty.
I would like to know how many are in the dresses above.


Anyhow...speaking of fashion shows.....
2 more days Pussycats and then it is time to COME On Down!!!

Wed.night at the Ceeps 8:00
The Weezi Price is Right Fashion Show.


Be there or be square!
Have a great SUNNY day!
Luv Weezi xoxoxoxo
