Emerald Coast


I love the glare, it says "I've had enough of this photoshoot, I want to go to the park". 

And I just adore these emerald green bathers on Monet.

I have fixed all the little foibles that my pattern had when I upsized it.  I have changed the back of the top and repositioned the straps for comfort.  I also removed any saggy baggy fabric in the bum of the pants and made sure there was no innappropriate gaping.  I can see these bathers seeing lots of sunny days this summer. 

 Next chance I get I am going to make a size 4 from this gorgeous green fabric that used to be a dress of mine.  I hope that someday someone will love them just as much as I do.


The coral coloured linen dress is the last one left from the stock I took to the last market.  I wish I had more of this fabric, it was everynoes favourite.  I am glad I got to keep this one.

I have also discovered Picasa.  It's photo editing software from google, and it's free to download.  Isn't it amazing what it's done for my photos?

My daughter is about a size 10, at aged nearly 9. She is very tall. Just wondering how much they are? And I don't know so much. I just looked it up when I got home. I thought Wedgewood, good brand, looks 70's when I went shopping ... lol.
