dank and sludge-coloured, The Girl and I settled down to some dangerous sports: my juddering sewing machine on one side of the table, and her acrylic paints on the other.
Both the painting and the silk voile slip survived. We had a lovely afternoon. She even let me borrow her Crazy Band hedgehog. Have you seen these things?
Your challenge is to find the octopus!
The sewing is going well, although I am somewhat in awe of the delicate fabric. I have a feeling this is more of a nightdress than an underskirt, we'll see. Every seam has to be stitched and folded and finished with a tiny zig zag. I feel as if I should be sewing it by hand.
And as promised - the first February sock!

The sock is gorgeous and the colour perfectly complements the design. Look forward to seeing your Cinnamon slip too.
Nice sock - good luck with number 2!

Hee hee hee - perhaps the orange has turned me into a super-flexible yoga guru?!
Or more likely: I set the camera up on a self-timer and stood on the window sill!
Ah - standing on the windowsill! As you do...
