Matching




I only have this picture, sorry! Check out those sassy girls...fresh from the pool!


I ended up making 5 skirts from the same pattern. The one you see above was one of the first. I also used the scraps and a home made pattern to make one for the girls.


My favorite one is white linen and I sewed wide black rick-rack along the bottom, then about an inch up, a wide red grosgrain ribbon and then another inch or so up, a thinner black rick-rack. It is so stinking cute I can't stand it. It is at the dry cleaner right now so I can't take a picture but I will try to remember.






And finally...the postcards. I've been hesitant to post them because I am just over the top in love with them and I know that they really aren't that terrific. I think I love them so much for a variety of reasons but the biggest one being that they are my first venture back into something that I loved and had abandoned.


It's a big long story that almost everyone who reads my blog already knows so I won't go into the sordid details...
So, anyway..I love paper. I love it so much that is is probably unhealthy. I don't love it for any particular function. I just like to own it and look at it. If it happens to function as a card then I will send it. If it happens to function as wrapping paper then heck yes wrap it up...I don't own it to save it, I want to share the love, but that being said...I own a lot. I wanted to find something to do with all the odd and end flat pieces that I couldn't really write on so this was it.




And in other news... I guess there isn't any!

Those skirts are cute! And it helps that the girls are "posing". Very talented!

We had this conversation the other day, but I'll say it again. I love paper too! And fabric. I love the colours and textures and have amassed a large collection. Sometimes I will pull the paper or fabric out and just look at it. It helps to spark my creative energies. It makes me feel happy all over.
