Some time ago, I wore a pair of shoe clips in an outfit post that I had made which I thought were kind of cute. One of my blogging friends, Olivia from Wait Until The Sunset , asked me if I was selling the shoe clips and could she buy some from me. I told her that I wasn't selling them, but I was happy to make her some.
I was kind of in a "craft rut" for a long time so it took me a while to get around to making them (sorry Olivia!) but they are now all finished and at their new home in Brisbane. I felt so bad for taking so long to make them that I made four pairs instead of one and here they all are as modelled by my gold shoes.
I was pretty happy how they turned out - I think I like the blue ones best though. I think I'll have to buy some more clips to make some more. Anyone out there in blog-land been up to much crafting lately?

Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge - Nail Polish
Another easy wardrobe challenge this week - nail polish! This looks like such an awkward photo of my hand. The nail polish actually has flecks of green glitter though it, but its really fine and didn't show up in the photo at all.
I could have just shown you the nail polish, seen as that was the challenge, but here's the rest of the outfit!
I have had this vintage frock FOREVER but it was originally a really weird length - it fell mind calf which really isn't flattering. In fact it looked just plain weird. Last night I FINALLY got around to shortening it.

I love my wee horse necklace even if I don't really like horses that much! The last time I wore it one of the ladies at work said I should have worn it on Melbourne Cup Day - that would of been brilliant! Perhaps I'll remember to wear it for Melbourne Cup 2012.
This photo looks slightly like I am clawing at the wall trying to escape - I promise I'm not. I just wanted to share with you what I think is an octopus ring, although it only has four tentacles, I am pretty sure it's meant to be an octopus.
I am the first to admit it - pink shoe clips don't really work so well with pink tights! But you guys get the idea. I really want to make some more now.

A close up of the sparkly polyester awesome-ness.

The collar on the frock is pretty epic and it has wee plastic golden buttons down the front.

I bought this a while back at Craft 2.0 and I love it!
