I tend to go through intense sewing phases and then don’t touch my machine for months, and obviously this is one of those phases. I’ve been so desperate to give my altered McCall’s M6085 dress another go, I combed through my rather limited fabric stash and squeezed this dress out of what I had in…
Just a reminder that your opportunity to get 10% off one of my prints (and other Fancy Lady Industries paraphernalia!) ends tonight at midnight (Australian time). There’s a super limited selection of original art pieces still left too. Check out Fancy Lady Industries (or definatalie.bigcartel.com if the domain doesn’t work, which is an ongoing and…
I saw this dress on tumblr the other week and fell in love. I do this often, not just with dresses either. Shoes (I need some blue velvet sneakers ok), jewellery, rainbow coloured smoke… it’s just a daily source of unfulfilled desire basically. I figured I might be able to make this dress because when…
Last night I brought Fancy Lady Industries back online after a six week break, that is… after I broke my ankle. I’ve stocked the store with a couple of new and interesting things, too! Most notably, the art prints I’ve been promising for many months are finally available to pre-order! I put up the five…

You’ve been asking for prints for months and months and now I think I’m ready to deliver! Before I go ahead and order prints, it’d be really helpful to get an idea of which prints people would purchase and how many I should order. You can vote as many times as you want, but please…
Lately I’ve been looking through my sketchbooks and revisiting bits and pieces of drawings that I want to resolve to a point where I’m a bit happier with them. This fat lady sketch is from maybe 1-2 years ago when I was fascinated by fat lady sideshow performers. And this is my resolved drawing. It…
I picked up three Orly nail polishes for $10 the other day (ie: a BARGAIN) and wanted to use Glitz, a gold, immediately! I didn’t want to do a plain gold because after receiving my WAH Nails book in the mail I felt like I ought to get a bit creative. Nail time is self…
I’ve only just gotten around to pulling the photos from our holiday off the camera, and unsurprisingly there weren’t that many! We did take photos of the little bit of time we spent in Armidale visiting the lovely Sonya so I will share a few here for you. [Warning: Animated gif at the end of…
