Kiss of blue.

Am I the only one who finds it ridicuously amusing when you eat blueberries and your lips and teeth get stained all blue?

Hmmm perhaps so...

In which case, I hope the pretty new sunglasses manage to distract from my ghastly lips.

Flight of fancy.

Messing around on my beautiful Bernina the other evening, I whipped up this top from some leftover furry fabric. It’s a really basic cut, so whilst loitering around the sewing shop on Sunday I pounced on these fantastic feathers to jazz it up a bit.

Half an hour later (with my floor looking like a birds nest), I now have a feathery take on shoulder pads. Such fun!

Bernina love.

I haven't posted in absoloutly forever, and my only reason is that I just needed a bit of a break. In heinsight, I probably should have said this was coming but it was all rather spur of the moment. But I am now back from under my rock and ready to roll.

I spurged big time a week or so ago on my first sewing machine, the beautiful Bernina Activa230. It is pretty much heaven, and I'm shockingly sleep deprived at the moment due to many a late night sewing session. Midnight sewing proves to be highly productive, so plenty of new outfits are in my ironing pile, ready to be photographed. Keep your eyes peeled...
