How do you feel about vintage fabric? Charmed? Inspired? I instantly loved the print you see below. The picture is of the fabric of a skirt I found while thrifting last week. The design is wearable but I'm feeling tempted to refashion it. When and if I do I will definitely share it with you.
On a different topic entirely, does anyone else LOVE burning scented candles? I get good feelings every time I buy a new one. My latest flavor is called "tropical fruit." Totally out of season but I couldn't resist.
It's been a few days since my last post. I've been busy working on the project below. It's my latest crocheted creation slowly becoming a sweater with long sleeves and all. I'm new at sleeves and am still learning how to taper at the elbow, but I think I might just figure it out this time around.
I feel entirely motivated to finish the sweater because I've got this stack of goodies waiting to be made into pretty things.
It's a beautiful time of year...
Awe, I'd love to learn how to sew and crochet and knit! :p And I really like that skirt's pattern; I wanna see what you'll do with it ;).
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, for burning candles! So romantic and cozy!
Hope you've started the week with a smile! ;D
