Sunday Sunday.

Its Sunday morning.
Bren is picking vegies for the farm shop, Indi is at Lola's house and Jazzy and Pepper are making an extravagant sand tea party outside.

I am dyeing some yarn.

It looks more grey than the charcoal I had hoped for, but I like it.

It reminds me a bit of Bren's dreadlocks when we first met.
He had 81 of them. He still has them in a box under the house.
I wonder if the girls would like to see them.

Yesterday we were hanging out here, when a woman admired Pepper's tree dress.

When I told her I had made it she asked if I could make some stock for her to sell in her shop.

I was pretty excited!

The girls were far too busy choosing a lolly to care.

Today I'm crocheting butterflies and motifs trying to work out the best way to winterfy my dresses. I want to keep sewing with the vintage linens and maybe mix in some denim or cord, long sleeves and lots of crochet embellishments.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. XX

  1. That's lovely that someone loved your work so much to want to stock it then and there.

    Gorgeous photos.

    Nothing says winter more to me than a lovely soft corduroy. I can see it with your crochet.

    Enjoy your Sunday.

Love the dying it looks good and can't wait to see the corduroy and crochet together. Great news about a selling outlet, you had better get to the sewing machine :-)

    I cracked up about the dreads. Imagine if your girls found them under the house, they would wonder what on earth they are LOL

  9. SO exciting about the shop and order Kate, though I'm not at all surprised. Your creations are beautiful.
    Looking forward to what you come up with from winter, liking the sound of cord and denim with crochet very much.
    I think it's funny and cute that Bren kept his dreads, defintely something to show the kids. XO

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.

Kate XX
