new spring wardrobe day 9
Here is my final addition to my fantasy new spring wardrobe: a highly essential hooded mac for the showery days! I'd love a grey blue coat, with pink lining, fish tail hem, and a dragonfly embroidered on it : )
I've already thought of a fab new blog project for April.

New spring wardrobe days 6, 7 and 8!
I had a lovely and exhausting weekend away over easter - seeing lots of my family, age ranges 5 to 80! It was fun seeing them, but the travelling was a nightmare, thanks to engineering works. Anyway, it has taken me a few days to recover, so that although I started painting the lovely pink cardigan on Tuesday, twas only completed today. In fact, this is an example of wanting to have exactly the same thing again: my beloved pink cardigan is rapidly wearing out - I keep finding new holes in it! The jacket is soft, dusky blue cotton, with more of that wonderful hearts print cotton for lining - and it is fully lined with this - none of the awful shiny polyester they seem to use for sleeve lining these days! The pretty skirt would ideally be silk crepe de chine, proper 1930s style : )

here is the missing address
Both blogger and Firefox are giving me grief, so the link to Catherine's blog got missed out of previous post today: http://www.scatterboxtwo.blogspot.com

I've decided on a theme for a mini-series until the end of March: with spring coming, I want a whole new wardrobe! A virtual one will have several advantages: I can choose exactly what I like, regardless of whether it is available in the shops this year; I won't need to worry about whether it fits (especially an issue in the case of shoes for me); plus of course, a fantasy wardrobe will cost a lot less. So watch this space..
Thanks for all the lovely comments about "sleeping beauty"!

I love the things Catherine makes, and am already the proud owner of a fab blue bag : )

New project
Well, I have been feeling that something is missing from my life since I completed "sleeping beauty", and am looking for a new story to tell here - maybe Sinbad the Sailor, if I can work out a picture sequence. In the meantime, I have begun a new project of painting 100 ethnic kids. Here are the first five:
