Elf Cuffs & Fantasy Stuff - An Etsy Shop Re-Launched

I've recently just re-launched my Esty Shop, "Chameleon Candour - Elf Cuffs & Fantasy Stuff"! There's not that much there yet, but there is much more to come! Here's a little look at the stuff I've made available for purchase so far:

First up, a pair of what I call "Elf Cuffs", in a rusty orange coloured wool, with wool yarn felted into the base to make a pattern:

Second, another pair of Elf Cuffs in the same type of wool, but these are decorated with crochet flowers:

Thrirdly, and lastly for now (but not for long!), is a my signature leather belt (seriously, I wear this pretty much all the time)! It's not in stock, as this is made to order, and I tailor it to fit spesific measurements:


My sewing and crafting has mainly been a hobby, but it is as costly as it is time consuming, so I've decided to start selling certain products that I've received positive feedback on, in hopes that this hobby might actually start earning me a little money as well. I won't lie, it would be a dream come true if it turned out I could partially live off running an Etsy shop!

I would therefore be beyond thankful if you, my kind readers, would pop by it, have a look around, and, if you like what you see, favorite my shop and share it with your friends! And, of course, buy things from it, if you see something you want! ^_^

Other sewing projects

Life has really been keeping me busy, and I've been sewing all sorts of things not related to the Kíli Project. I've been doing medieval and viking markets, plus a larp, which have kept my fingers busy and here are some of the results:

 This was my outfit for Oslo Medieval Festival.
I made the rusty coloured skirt, the leather corset, 
the high waisted leather vest, and the leather hip belt:

This was a green linen dress that I made for the 
second day at Oslo Medieval Festival, which I 
wore along with the leather corset:

 Here's my brown linen viking gown, most of which
is handsewn, over a chemise I quickly put together
out of white, thin muslin:

For the Viking Festival in Sarpsborg, which I visited 
briefly on my birthday, I used the green linen dress 
under the viking gown with some of my viking bling:

For the larp, I made a two way bodice with lace-up 
front and a short sleeved gypsy blouse:
 
 I also made this skirt two times, out of unbleached 
cotton, and then dyed one of them a mossy green
and the other a sharp purple:

 I did the same with this blouse, only, I made three 
instead of two and kept one of them white:

 Then, because I felt up for a bit of a challange, I made
these leather boots. Unfortunately, they're actually a
bit too wide, it seems, because the shaft of the boots
tend to end up in one big, crumpled heap around 
my ankles when I wear them. But they look good 
for 30 seconds! ;)

For the larp, I also made this huge, squishy, 
colourful pillow:

 And, lastly, I made a new cover for my Kindle in 
light grey leather, which I dyed into a tan brown:


So, as you can see, I have not been idle, even though I've been sorely negligent of my blog, for which I apologize profusely! I will do my best not to leave it this long before I blog again!
