What I wore Wednesday + a little craft

Linking up with Janelle, Mardi and Yvette again for What I wore Wednesday. Another day, another park. It's a hard life I lead!!!



Today I realised that I have been so silly - I forgot that I own a really good tripod - why aren't I using it??? I set it up and tried to take a shot, unfortunately the top of it broke so I couldn't get a portrait shot (above is cropped) and the photo blurred pretty badly; by the time I realised it, I had already dismantled the tripod. Sigh. One week I promise I will deliver an OMG awesome self portrait!

Here is another shot, slightly clearer and not in black and white.

   

Today I am wearing:

Jeans Shorts - Target

White Tee - Kmart

Stripey Singlet - Kmart

And thongs. Because it was park day again today!

Yesterday after posting my countdown list... I got to work in the sewing room. Listing things & publishing makes me more accountable, so I have now managed to sew the binding on the quilt & now just need to find 5 mins to sit and hand sew it down. I also came across a little piece of fabric that I had originally intended to turn into a scarf for my girls. As with most of my own creations if it doesn't work out to plan, I throw it aside... unfortunately I'm not to good without a patter. The 'scarf' was too short and too thick (I had added some batting as it was a cut off from the quilt I had just quilted) and it didn't sit right on the girls. A quick addition of thick elastic turned it into a funky headband. Lucky it sits under her hair as I put the elastic on AFTER the band was all sewed up. A little crochet flower (compliments of MIL) found in the bottom of a craft box and a wee button completed the headband. I love it.



Rue is modelling it with one of her new dresses I bought last week, this was in a bundle of clothes from an online forum I belong too. It is so adorably cute on her!
