Its been a pretty gloomy fall here in Washington! The bright side of which is a lot of time in the evenings for creating. This little pumpkin garland in a variation of
this- with a crochet vine and leaves added. The color ended up a bit more tomato than pumpkin, but that means I could hang it in my kitchen year round!
This dress is one of my favorites, but I like it better now with the addition of some shell buttons stolen from a garage sale skirt. Project cost? Fifty Cents! Which is just about right for me.
Lastly this skirt has been in the works for oh...two years. The fabric and pattern came long before the guts to try it out! But after exhausting my store of curse words on the machine, my iron, and anything else in the vicinity its more than an idea. And it was really quite fun in the end! Isn't it funny how much more intimidating things grow in your mind? But I'll be enjoying this skirt and a little increased skill for a long time to come. The under layer, by the way, is an old curtain (which I din't have to hem, ha!) What do you like to do on those long winter nights?
