Spring In November

I made a dress for my girl, yay! It's a pretty little number, ideal for the upcoming warm months ... :)


Seriously, I have been making this dress for aaages and it so happens that I've managed to finish it in November ... so what?



It doesn't really bother my little girl ... She throws on a pair of tights, a pair ob boots, a warm jacket and heads to school ...


Like mother, like daughter :)

Copycat (Bird)

This robin! I'm so anxious for the little package to arrive that I had to make a brother for the tweedie bird :)


I totally copied Alison's design, I'm afraid - I had a tiny little Harris Tweed swatch that Alison herself sent me some time ago. I used felt for the belly, though, as I didn't have any red Harris Tweed. 

I made a sweet little brooch, and Alison's robin might end up on my keys :)

Christmas Is Coming

So many pretty things! 

This sweet little Harris Tweed robin 
was another love -  
handmade by my dear blogging friend Alison
how clever is she?

It had to, just had to be mine! 
With a bit of luck, 
it's already winging its way 
to its new home - to me :)

Uniform

Every season I tend to (unintentionally) pick certain clothes & accessories which I wear more often than others.


Apparently, this autumn we're talking about 
my navy blue fedora,


navy blue jacket with oversized floral buttons


and heeled brogues.


Outfit details:

- brogues - Boden
- tights - local boutique
- dress - Joules
- bow leather belt - VB (local brand)
- jacket - Boden
- silk scarf - Joules

I believe Johnny & Tom 
could hire me for their ads, 
don't you think?
