2x REVAMPED

You  may remember the long pinafore skirt I have? A friend of mine got the same one but felt it did not fit her so she passed it along to me -ssometimes it's good with doubles of certain pieces of easy, everyday clothing. As the material on the skirt got rather floppy after the first wash already I thought I might as well turn the other one into a shorter skirt that'd go well with boots now in spring (and for autumn).

Snip snap with the scissors and a few rounds with the sewing machine and there it was!
And  I - of course -  made a pair of pockets for the skirt out of the cut-off hem.
If you cut a hem shorter (or the sleeves of an item)  it's smart to use the left overs for something to go along with the updated piece, especially if the fabric is patterned. If not pockets then you can make a hair band or scarf out of it.

The blouse is the basic top I revamped by sewing a lace appliqué on.

Dag chose the bangles for me and came and put them on.

BABY LAMBS!

It's baby-lamb season again! Like straight out of a toilet-paper commercial, small and fluffy and adorable they lie there and walk on shaky legs. Usually they are very scared and cautious when this little but there are a couple that are so curious on everything already. These are so going to be the fence-jumpers of this summer the ones that will terrorise our garden later on...

APRIL

Springtime!

 (I know this one totally makes it seem like I would have done some yard work. But I so did not. Have no idea how that rake got there. In fact, I haven't done anything of use since autumn and everything looks there after... Well, at some point I'll have to if I ever want to have people over.)

RUBIES > TURKU

We're off as the Rubies to Turku now to perform at Hylätty Huyvipuisto at Kåren tonight.
And here we are portrayed in our (kind of) Big Fish siamese-twin look by Atelieri O.Haapala earlier this year.
