Turquoise and sand

Today is the most magnificent day, with blue blue skies and not a cloud to be seen…  The last time I wore this skirt I went for bright bright bright, but I think I love it even more with these warm caramelly neutral tones like I’m wearing today.  Colours reminiscent of sandy beaches, crystal clear waves and clear blue skies, no?  I must be pining for the hues of summer already, although the weather today is glorious enough for the most perfect summer’s day.
And have a look at this fluffy little purr-monster.  She came up and instigated a love-fest while I was taking my photos today.  Have a look at those eyes!
Sadly I have lots of office work to get through even though I would much prefer to be out in the garden.  I’ve done a tiny bit more work on my ball gown but have hit a standstill…  I’m heading back up to the fabric shop after work to get a bit more fabric for my flounce, as the one I have pinned to the petticoat now is not as flouncy as I desire.  Must have plenty of flounce!  Flounce is gooood!  Tomorrow I should have more progress to show you.
