  • This is an offshoot of my overarching Wednesday Project - the Enid Project! Or at least, the Enid Dress.
    I'm hacking a pattern I've used previously from an Edwardian Shirtwaist Blouse to a modern babydoll dress, and of course require a mockup. Hence - Enid, the colour to Wednesday's darkness

    I hated pink and lavender as a child. I liked bold and neon, my favorite outfit as a preteen was an orange jumper dress with a blue striped mock turtleneck underneath. Now as a senior citizen, I love soft pinks, it's flattering.

    I hate pink but have fuchsia hair, and get so many compliments. Sometimes the colors that look good are not our chosen ones and we end up liking them. I don't wear pink but the hair looks good with my blue and black wardrobe. Whatever make you feel good is right for you. ❤ This turned out very nice.

      Yeah, the spring goes well. I'm sharing a veg garden plot with a neighbour this year. After I finish chasing the pigeons away I can start on the balcony veg and flower patch. I won't have any excuse not to cook, lol.
      Other than that, cleaning proceeds slowly. As per usual. Although I am almost ready to drop more stuff off at the Village of Value...
      OH! And I'm actually sewing something for myself. I found this cobalt blue wool crape at a destash sale. I'm slowly turning it into a kimono sleeve blouse from the 1950's. All hand sewing - right now I'm putting pad stitching into the cuffs and collar... happy sigh. It's been way, way, way too long since I've made anything.
      How goes it for you? How's the fam? How's the Grandkiddo? How is you?

      Spring has been rough this year all the storms are giving me weather migraines. It sucks but hopefully it will settle down soon.
      Cleaning has been happening. I really do have to get back to it but I don’t want to! Adulting sucks.
      It feels like for ever since I’ve sewn anything. I have been knitting but just dish clothes and towels. I did find a bit of fabric at a thrift store. I have lots of ideas. Just no drive.
      Your blouse sounds lovely. It’s a darn shame that we can’t do pictures on here!

    I love your video so much! Just watching how others do things helps a lot! I have a small suggestion about your background lighting at around 8:13 in the video. When you’re wearing black in the foreground of the video and lighting the background really bright it actually can start hurting to look at for long. But also like lighting is hard and I don’t really know the technicalities of lighting for filming, I only know how to light a room because I do architecture but not how to do camera work.

    • @MaireColclough

    pretty kitties. psa on the pins please NO needles in the pincushion. spent about an hour yesterday trying to fish needles out of a tomato pincushion trying to save the tomato (rip tomato) i filled two felt squares 3-4 inches square. it was horrible, but i have a lifetime supply of needles.

      @MaireColclough  2 месяца назад

      Thankfully, I only have one needle in the pincushion, and it's very retrievable (I needed it to be in a place the kittens couldn't get to). Otherwise, I try to remove needles and store them safely when not in use.
      I'm glad you've managed to re-stock via retrieval, though! Did the tomato survive the experience, or is it truly gone for good?
