Swing Cardigan Vikki Vi

For Tam - I just found this with the front seam - I think it's cute!

For Tam #1

I like this purple outfit.  I think the skirt could look really good in Pendleton with a black or white turtle neck sweater.  The waist area is a little full so some of the fabric might need to be removed to make it transition smoothly over the hips.  It depends on the fit.

With tights

Short skirts look good with tights - I like the red outfit.  Others a bit too preppy.  Mind you, so is Pendleton.

Preppy

unflattering

This style skirt is popular now but I don't think it's flattering for the average figure.  Maybe it would look good on a vertically and horizontally petite young lady.

Not my choice

Playihg with texture again.

Retro Sewing Patterns

Various fashions sewn and worn by me over the decades.

Mist over the lake

Before 7 AM Silver Lake. It was cold outside, but I wanted to take some pics of the mist with or without my slippers.

As Time Goes By

Each year I save the roses from dh bouquets and place them around this Butcher's Rack.

Silver Lake Reflections

Another photo with textures. The textures come from Painting With Brushes.

Lots of textures, and played in Photoshop.

Afternoon Tea

Today I made cupcakes, so we had afternoon tea with my sister Cathy's china.

I should have chosen another photo to play with Paul Grand's texture, but this was handy! Some of my textures too!

Playing with many textures. Some mine, and a couple generously shared by Paul Grand, plus a smidgeon of De Anna's (Rubia) outline technique.

Valentine's Day!

I got Roses for Valentine Day

Chocolate for the Scavenger hunt!

I bought this small bar of Dove chocolate specifically for the DD Scavenger Hunt challenge with the intention of shooting it when we got home, but try as I could, my addiction got the better of me. One small bite led to another and this is all I have to show for it! :(
