Hanging hoop Art

Posted on April 2, 2012 by April Alayne

Here is a new little project I have been working on.

This is just for fun to bulk up some items for up and coming craft shows this summer! I absolutely love the look of vintage textbook style illustrations and wanted to go further then just a framed picture.

I wanted to create something that would look great collage style. It is one of my favorite looks! Like this!

This look is especially great if you are unable to paint your apartment walls. And is fantastic for keeping you inspired.

Each image is printed high quality on thick textured re purposed duck canvas and stretched in various sized wood embroidery hoops. Some I have incorporated some fabric also to make them a little different!

I am in debate on making these available in my etsy. What are your thoughts?

I will see how they do at my 1st Craft show in VA on April 15th Please come by!

I love making these little guys! And I can create custom ones if interested. They could be sweet for wedding decor I feel in addition to home decor!

But all the same this is what I have been up to! I hope everyone is enjoying April so far. It is a pretty swell month I must say.

March Madness! For curvy vintage.

Posted on March 27, 2012 by April Alayne

How has everyone enjoyed their March so far? I am loving this warm weather and wind! Simply my favorite season.

So I have done a bunch more shopping for my curvy soul sisters! I know how difficult it can be to find all those cute vintage dresses out there for a curvy size so made it my mission to hunt them down and make them available for you!

Here are new dresses I will slowly be introducing to TOH on Etsy

The lot for march is an exciting one if I do say so myself!

These will be available for purchase soon in the shop! Just keep a close eye.

If you are dying to make a dress yours before I list it on Etsy you are more then welcome to contact me with the little number you have in mind! I don’t mind one bit! I will give you the rundown of price and how it fits and we can talk further from there!

Hooray! Here is to more great shopping and fantastic new finds!

I hope you all have a wonderful night and thanks for stopping by!

Balsamine

Posted on March 8, 2012 by April Alayne

Please welcome “Balsamine” to our family.

Balsamine represents the impatience of spring. This wild Maryland weather is such a tease for those who love the season.

She was created on a 14 X16″ sheet of Bristol and graphite. Like many of her sisters

She will be available on AlwaysApril soon!

I hope everyone is having a great night!

New goodies for TOH

Posted on February 15, 2012 by April Alayne

I went shopping again for ThreadOverHeels . I LOVE these little vintage numbers I found!

OK… they aren’t ”little” but who cares they are fabulous!

Also I decided to get fancy with my eyelashes just because it was on Valentines day.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Also. I just wanted to share my outfit for Valentines day. THAT SHIRT. An old ASPCA shirt thrifted. It makes me laugh… then cry. It was a whole 50 cents and the best 50 cents I have ever spent.

I spent my Valentines holiday with dear friends with 6 dollar pitchers of blue moon on Karaoke night.

Celine Dion’s All by myself… 2 pitchers in at a dirty bar… That shirt. Picture this.

HOT MESS. And a wonderfully perfect night.

Cute quirky T-shirts, classic pencil skirts, chuncky cinch belts and bold shoes (mine are Candy’s from Kholes – $20!) is always a fun way to sassy up your weekly wardrobe!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines day! And have a better week ahead!
