10 October, Blogtoberfest

I got something crafty done!

Top right corner of George's quilt.

Not 100% happy with one bit of my piecing, I have a small tuck, but I think the grey might have stretched and I couldn't get it to ease any better than that.  Hopefully it's the only one and in which case can be my one error so as not to offend.  Apologies for the photo, I used the cheap camera and had to adjust the brightness.

No knitting, but that's because it requires serious concentration and I can't do that when either of the boys are around, of course George was all day.

I decided to dress girly this morning, I think this is my favourite skirt in my wardrobe at the moment.

Crinoline is under the skirt, once again the cheap camera, but wasn't prepared to give the good one to eldest.

I love the look of the crinoline and the feel of it, right up to visiting the smallest room in the house where it suddenly becomes a right pain!    I wonder what the chiffon one will be like.   Oh, and the bare feet were only temporary, I put on my buttercream socks with my red shoes.

Tomorrow is the last day the boys have at home in the holidays (George is getting better so will be going to horseriding on Friday).    We're planning on washing the outside windows as the weather should be good.   Maybe some more quilting.   I should clean the oven, but I really, really don't want to!

Wardrobe Wednesday on a day of rememberance.

A year ago today was not a good day for anyone in Christchurch, today we remember and I dressed up for the occasion

I'm wearing my favourite dandelion fairy t-shirt, a favourite stretch A-line skirt that was too big so I've introduced  tucks as a design feature, my favourite socks and shoes as well. 
T-shirt from One-day tees
Skirt - made by me, and then I got smaller.   Fabric was from Fabric Vision
Socks - made by me using Noro Silk Garden Sock
Shoes - Planet Shoes brand, lovely and comfy and good at showing off hand-knit socks.

I'm participating in Wardrobe Wednesday on Sailor Spy


I'm about to start work on that quilt again, same as this time last year.  I'll post photo's later as they're on the good camera and I'm recharging the battery.

Wardrobe Wednesday 15th Feb

Still waiting to hear about the garage and what's happening.  In the meantime I'm organising quotes for a replacement building.

Had a lovely morning yesterday at a fellow bloggers meeting.   Lovely people and food.   I got some knitting done on the sock and now the sock has said it's for my husband.

Now, onto the purpose of today's post.   Wardrobe Wednesday.   Today I'm wearing a pair of cords I made in the winter which I love.

I've got to find a better place to take photo's.   They seem to be a little bigger than they were; this is I think a good sign.

Wardrobe Wednesday 08th Feb

I'm participating in Wardrobe Wednesday at Sailor Spy.    Today I am wearing my favourite dandelion fairy t-shirt from 1-day t's.   The skirt is one I made a few weeks back; it's a tiered skirt using a lightweight cotton.   Underneath I have my favourite bloomers on; love those things!   Good for modesty and comfort, especially considering they're made from an old egyptian cotton sheet.

Wardrobe Wednesday

Photo taken by my eldest son, took 3 goes to get a semi-decent one.  I'm wearing a sea monster t-shirt from the one-day t-shirts website a couple of years back.  Trousers are Limewire workout pants and the cardigan is one I knit from Purewool 3-ply and some handspun.   You can't see my shoes, but they're Shoe Planet sandals and very comfortable.
