Hoping February showers will bring wild flowers. We welcome all rain in Northern California. This weekend I will be planting vegetable seeds in the greenhouse.
Making progress on the poinsettia Christmas tree latch hook rug skirt. I will fill in the center with the remaining cream color, then fill in the dark green background when the flowers are done.
It is really looking lush💜 I hope to enter this in the county fair.
Art class update: We have entered the phase of duplicating objects using charcoal. I haven't decided whether I want to continue to create art or just learn about it. Not a good sign when you chafe against completing assignments.😕
Daughter wedding update: The dress, my dress, finally arrived. The back story - I bought it from an online auction site last October. A couple of weeks went by and the dress never arrived. Seemed it had gotten lost in the warehouse. I was credited back and life went on. I kept lurking on the auction site, looking at other dresses, hoping the one I wanted would reappear. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, the dress showed up again. I won the auction and the dress will make its appearance in September. It fits perfectly other than needing a hem for my shoes.
Playing with photoshop, I decided to post the "cutout" version of me wearing the dress.
One of my scrolling passions is viewing high fashion. I see the trend as less jewelry with the gowns, very few necklaces. I purchased a pair of EFFY Collection blue topaz rose gold square cut pierced earrings. Oooo la la. 👀
Lastly, a thrifting update - the holy grail of sewing patterns, the Folkwear line. I found nine uncut ones priced at 99 cents each. A rustic doll was another 99 cent find that will make an appearance in an upcoming post.
