and the beat goes on and on

this morning. the park was glorious.lots of people strolling under the snow and having a childhood time.



came back to finish my sewing. have to hem it
and source the buttons.haven't seen anything
appealing so far.the trade offs of leaving a big city.

such wonderful invention

sewing patterns that is. tried this gifted kasuri fabric with instructions on how to make a kosode with fabric rectangles.
japanese women look fantastic because they are petite and their bodies are in scale with the traditional japanese fabric widths.i looked like a frumpy potato sack. however, not all was lost since i just cut the panels in length i was able to use an old pattern  with a minor adjustment.
inside time is making me very productive!

under the influence

been busy chasing the snow. quite the excitement for someone born in the tropics and who has lived in the med all her adult life. keep checking the range and the surrounding mountains. it has gone from a dusting of confectioner's sugar to something more substantial. apparently between today and tomorrow it's going to be the big days. hope the low clouds disperse and i can take photos.

have spent   nice and cosy  inside studio time. it snowed on this WIP as i covered it with acrylic. it's interesting what a thin  layer of snow can do to the landscape.
