Things are moving very slowly here
and as another year ticks along
another birthday was celebrated
over the weekend
and I made a frock
the birthday frock
when a hand towel was tossed over a chair next to a filed skirt
REinvented from a mens shirt
and a too-big-skirt
using the Piece of Cake pattern
as a guide
with a favourite felted collar & frippery combination
where vintage treasure was rescued
and too much food was eaten.
Happy Birthday fellow ex Kiwi - must of been that wonderful winter magic in the air that you get in New Zealand as I was born today and will celebrate next weekend. Busselton here we come. Its been very quiet lately without your blog posts - trust all is well as we start seeing the warmer weather. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother Leo and a Kiwi one at that.
DeleteI was the first of four children Leanne, each born respectable distances apart in every season so I think in the case of my parents they were slow learners!
All is well. x
It is lovely...green and pink great combinations....
