Blogtoberfest Day 2

Watercolours are mesmerising. The magic and delicate nature of them enchants me. Too much water and the paper is soggy and ruined. Not enough water and they are rough and 'scratchy'. Certainly a skill I want to develop. Maybe some of my Dads' talents have rubbed off on me? We can only hope!

Raining this afternoon. Three kids have built a 'camp' in the rumpus room, and I am dreaming of what I might be able to paint.

She started it with her beautiful drawings... who's inspired you lately?

Spring - sew what?!

Little efforts to share from today. Found myself frogging the lace... this is all that's left... only 135cm to go...

Clips for the new do - not used to hair out! Got to get moving on my button orders anyway, so great to dust off the population!


Skirt for me, matching dress for Miss 2 (yes, I HAVE read Mommy Dearest - no Joan Crawford here!) Spotlight has this cheat's skirt fabric, already elasticated/gathered, ya just hem it for a quick bit of satisfaction. Fun for us and rather Summery, just right for our upcoming visit to the coast.
Bunting for a market I am selling at prior to Christmas - cute fabric, needs to be on display. Forgot I had it until the recent airing of the stash...


Miss 2 found the fabric paints I have for a secret Christmas project for family down South - shhh! Pity this isn't on fabric...

All in all a good day's work. We are rather pleased! Off to finish off some album-cover art to adorn the walls - stay tuned!
