Looking at this picture, I’ve just realised that my outfit is vaguely early 50’s, a la “A Place to Call Home”; with my long-skirted, waisted dress, a little cardigan and oxford-style shoes. Ha! A subliminal influence! But I am enjoying all the visual styling, the clothing and home deco in the show so much! You?
I’ve just had a look on the net for images of the women’s fashion worn in the series and there is practically nothing 🙁 But I’m sure there will be, soon!
This is the first morning I’ve “felt” cold even though the temps aren’t really lower today than so far for this month. Funny, that. It’s not even windy, but is just as still as still could be.
After I finish in the office I’m sewing. Nothing will stop me. I’ve had an autumnal dress on the go for about a month. Seriously! I’ve been plodding along, but I think I’d better get cracking so it can be worn just a few times before autumn is out!
Min 15C, max 25C, cloudy

For my family, Craig in particular; this day has been absolutely chocka with me-made-nesses! For activities with varying dress standards; Craig has worn this business shirt, switched over to this short sleeved shirt, then finished up in this hoodie for another part of his day. Whoa! And Cassie wore this Tshirt today.

Love this look. As you say very 50's, but also very elegant and stylish.
Have you been training Sienna to be photogenic too, or is it part of her nature 🙂
It's impossible for her to take a bad shot 🙂

Ha ha, subliminal influence! Couldn't agree with you more though, a fabulous TV show of which I'm also enjoying 🙂
BTW thanks for the info about the linen. I'll check them out.
After yesterday with no me mades in the family they have really picked up their game! I love todays outfit and the shoes (which are killer) go perfectly with it. Yay for a change of season to do some sewing.
I love all of these creations. Your family is so lucky.
Love this dress on you!
It was an interesting day weatherwise.
The photo you've taken is very calming.
Love the top photo!
I love your dress! The rich blue colour is just stunning. Your family looks great in their handmade items!
That's such a beautiful blue!
You look great in the dress and cardi. I love them both.
Very pretty dress and cardigan!
I love this dress with the cardigan and shoes!
I love all the me-made pieces! I am so envious of your talent. Maybe I will be that good someday!
This is an interesting photo and a beautiful look for you. I like it very much, partly because I think it is moody and that is my frame of mind lately 🙂
I like this shade of blue on you. And I love you oxfords!
This is one of my favorite dresses that you've made. lovely!
Your family is looking wonderful, as are you! I forget to say, sometimes, but I love how you match your photo setting to your outfits. The nautical setting this time is so lovely and makes me wish I lived closer to the seaside…
