New Design Cuff Bracelets

I am one of these designers that just don't like to waste anything so I design and make shirt aprons and have left over fabric and decided there has to be something to do with the cuffs of the shirts and came up these pretty Victorian cuff bracelets.

Blue and beige plaid with cream ribbon and ruffle trim.

Which Barbie Are You?


I saw this the other day on Facebook and had to share.
Which Barbie look are you?
I love the retro and rockabilly pinup look.
I'm a brunette but the ones here don't have my hairstyle that I like to wear.
I like the blonde in the upper right hand corner for my favorite hair style.
Love that blonde bombshell look but it works work for brunettes too!
Share you with us which Barbie are you?
