Once the rain stopped, my daughter and I went to lunch and walked it off! I'm lucky enough to live in an area that has so many beautiful places right outside my front door.
And I'm wearing one of my favorite, go to hats that I crocheted a gazillion years ago. Did y'all even remember that I could crochet and that this was originally a crocheting blog?! LOL Then it was a knitting blog and then sewing... When you've been blogging for as long as I have, you have to keep moving forward and evolving.
I decided to do some denim on denim. This seems to be the trendy thing to do. And it seems to be appropriate as long as the shades of blue are different.
I had never (to my knowledge) seen a duck like this. I googled "red-faced duck" which lead me to the Muschovy Duck. I guess this is what these are. They were our walking companions!
A great trench pattern! I'm got some amazing plaid fabric I'd like to make into a trench, bias cut pockets and etc!
ReplyDeleteI've had every intention of making another trench, one very Burberry-esque for a while now. I'm moving it higher on my list! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like the denim on denim! And have loved seeing the evolution of your blog and style--love the fashion/sewing mix. (I started reading it long before I commented.) You have a great relationship with the camera, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that any day now you're bound to be discovered!
ReplyDeleteAm only new to your blog. Jeez you can crochet and knit. Some gorgeous patterns in the knitting magazines. Love to be a knitter. Not sure I have the patience. My sewing is done in stages. lol
ReplyDeleteVery CUTE look Erica! I do remember when you used to crochet. What a walk down memory lane. You're talented at no matter what you do and I commend you for evolving so much in your sewing. It's been a joy & inspiration accompanying you on your journey (smile).
ReplyDeleteI believe my first time on this blog was when you made that crochet dress years ago :)
ReplyDeleteIt's still one of my favorites that I wear every summer!
ReplyDeleteErica I started reading/following your blog when it was Hooks & Needles I think....You've been at it awhile and I've enjoyed the ride. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteGirl, that's a long time! Thanks so much for being a reader! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteyes, i'm with the ladies; it's been a great ride, and fun watching you evolve! you're great inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteI remember this trench, and it looks so great on you with the denim on denim look! The cap hat is gorgeous and the boots were also the perfect choice for this outfit!!
