Thanks to all for the thumbs up yesterday, and I apologise for my very bad explanation, and should clarify with a more complete one: I’m pretty sure the “boring” comments aimed at me-made month-ers in general, that I’ve read on mine and on plenty of other blogs too, are more directed at the fact that a whole bunch of daily outfit posts can become monotonous and particularly for people not so interested one person’s personal style and the pursuit of understanding and creating it, but who are only in it for the sewing tips and techniques etc. And, sure, I understand that point of view. I even “get” it, but only a little bit, since I’m a nosey parker; head-over-heels into checking other ladies’ personal style and adore seeing different ways people mix-and-match up their clothes. And particularly if they are making it all themselves. Insatiably interested!
I didn’t intend to come off mope-y. But a big thank you for the vote of confidence :))
Last night we had torrential rain; which is awesome stuff for Perth. Of course, only this morning did a lightbulb go off that I should totally have nipped out yesterday and fertilised the garden… doh! It could be ages before we get another good soaking!
And I know from experience not to fertilise now, after the rain. Not a good idea, without an imminent watering-in. The neighbours will hate me, the family will refuse to sit outside for dinner. The only household member to be over the moon at my thoughtfulness will be Sienna, who will express her joy and appreciation by rolling blissfully and thoroughly in said fertilised beds, crushing plants, whatever, and then want to come in and rub her odiferous self against the sofa and everybodies’ legs. And then be hurt and bewildered by the enthusiasm of everyone’s rejection.
