(I've pledged to wear only clothes handmade by me this year and to sketch my daily outfits in my Fashionary. I'm calling this the paper doll project)

Hello :)
Tuesday night saw us back at the Quarry amphitheatre for take two of our picnic followed by the Ballet, after last week was rained out. It was a wonderful night, easily my highlight of the week. The performance was breath-taking. We decided it was our favourite Ballet at the Quarry, so far.
My maxi dress was pressed into service again. It was a veeery hot day, but this really is the best thing to wear to a summer evening picnic... you can scramble about on the grass setting up and distributing nibblies with absolutely no danger of flashing anyone!

So. Le stash-busting, pour le February...
I'm doing OK here; since another old thing from the refashioning pile (Cassie's jeans) was remade into something new and useful (a sunhat), PLUS four more pieces of fabric have winged their way from Le Stash to be transformed into usable and wearable garments during February. Namely, my piece of Liberty, the silver seqinned fabric, the large leftover piece of grey jersey knit, and a small piece of pewter silk dupion. And no new pieces of fabric have joined the flock. Yay! Obviously, the piece I am most thrilled to have used is the 2m of silver sequinned fabric... not only am I thrilled with the results but it was sure burning a hole in my conscience!
Actually, I'm kinda amazed that any sewing has been done at all, since I don't feel like I've been very productive lately. More like a sad, wrung out old rag. Thank goodness today is cooler. I might actually get something done.
Talking of baking bread... oh, we weren't? Sorry. But we are now, right? ;) Anyway; I discovered this little gem on youtube. This gave the whole family a real laugh, so I hope you enjoy it. For the record, my husband does NOT bake bread like this, more's the pity....
