Looking for sunshine

It seems hard to even remember when we had a sunny day. I am thankful for the rain. It would be terrible to live in one of the many places that are suffering from drought. And, according to weather reports, Wednesday may actually be sunny. That will be so great ~ but I am not holding my breath :-)

Photo shoot cat

I was playing around with a new background to use for my pictures ~ which I ended up not liking at all ~ and didn’t notice I had an observer until I was editing the pictures :-)

I guess he was thinking “Momma, that looks pretty bush league :-)

Photographing fabric

Photography is not my forte’  ~ I have gotten better over the years but it still is so hard especially when you are trying to give the best representation of color.

celadon, black, lt tan

These are the hemp/cotton blend fabrics I have available for my new tops, skirts, and slacks. The celadon in the above picture is actually a tad more green.

marigold, ivory, stone

The ivory actually has a slight green cast ~ do you think I could capture that? How can the 2 colors on either side be right on and the one in the middle not look quite right?

cinamon, purple, brown

Stay tuned  for more pictures of my new clothing items as I roll them out ~ you’ve seen the tunic and skirt I wore to Kate’s wedding. I’ve a pair of cropped slacks and 2 more styles of top coming, too!  The shawls and scarves will be made and listed as I feel so moved :-)

It’s a wrap ~

Another addition to my wardrobe is this wide long scarf made out of a beautiful lavender woven cotton with a delicate embroidery damask in just a shade darker thread. I sewed 100% cotton cluny lace in antique white all around. Doubled and tied around the shoulders it will serve me nicely for a chilly restaurant and will make me feel like a princess :-)

My newest whimsy ~

The Nomad ~ a trapeze top

The Nomad trapeze tank

The neckline is smooth and just low enough to be flattering without being so deep as to be uncomfortable.

The Nomad trapeze tank ~ neckline

The hemline is equally marvelous. I am totally in love with this and I am planning on making a gazillion!

This one is for my daughter Tara and is made out of a hemp and cotton blend. I am currently checking out supplies for linen, linen/rayon, and hemp/cotton. So excited!
