Here's one of the skirts I made
And
this is my Hollywood waist skirt that gave me so much trouble with the invisible zipper. I wore it on Saturday night and it didn't fall apart
and I got quite a few compliments.
And
these are otedama, Japanese juggling toys. You can't tell from the photo but they're only a little more than an inch on each side and filled with rice. It's also traditional to make them look like fruit or animals but I haven't had time to try that yet.
