Two new patterns from Vogue's latest collection.
Sorry Vogue Australia, I just can't wait another season to have them.
Purchased online, direct from the old U.S. of A.
I live in hope of making and wearing these two, asap!
And yes, I have started to sew again after a friend kindly cut out my yellow shirt. Almost finished and ready for show and tell.
Even better, have driven around the block twice,
and the arm, while stiff, does not cause much of a problem.
Will stick to local, short trips for a while.
Freedom!!!
Mother's Day Sunday - wonder if something fun will happen for me?
Be Good ...
How can I have never made scones? I love the idea of whole meal ones.
ReplyDeleteOh Kate looked sublime last night, that's my kind of dress.
Oh and just spotted the red cardinal Yule log - love it!
Who needs scones in the Land of Shortbread???
DeleteKate the Sublime indeed. That dress would look good at the Opera, methinks...
PS Glad you like the Yule log - found those tiny cardinals in Ottawa.
Cool patterns and so pleased to hear you've been able to drive a bit and done some sewing - it must be great to be making progress. Kate did look amazing, didn't she! Hope you have a lovely Mothers Day! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs E. - the light at the end of the tunnel is now winking at me. Goody.
DeleteIs it Mothers Day in England too? If not, have a happy Australian Mothers Day anyway xxx
And to think Wills nearly let Kate get away..Unthinkable!
ReplyDeleteI shall look forward to seeing a visual of these sewing projects Patricia. The cushion is lovely, isn't it a thrill to find one which fits perfectly in one's abode.
You must feel wonderful experiencing some freedom even if it's only in small doses.
Wishing you a fabulous Mother's Day
xx
Unthinkable Indeed Annie! Wills has Perfect Princess and Hollyward Glamour all in one little package!
DeleteGlad you like the cushion .. perfect fit here.
Small doses of freedom in my favourite Autumn season. Lovely :) Driving to the local shops All By Myself today. Wild!
And the bestest lovely Mother's Day to you too!

Dear Val, Thank you for your kindness, and your prayers. I know that the good wishes, kind thoughts and prayers of many people have blessed me through my illness, and I am truly grateful. I do feel happy and upbeat even tho still have medical issues. One reason is Mr C and I survived a head-on car collision exactly one year before my mastectomy, when a truck suddenly crossed the centre of the road and crashed into us. I believed I would die in that instant, and to have come through 2 bad times medically in one year makes me a very cheerful girl :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh, Valerie! Yes, I do remember Koo Stark. You are right - same dark haired, doe eyed, beauty! You win the Best Memory Award of the day!
