| Do you ever see something in a catalog that you then obsess over? Happens to me all the time. This time though, it was a skirt that just seemed to whisper "Spring is coming, never fear!" And I wanted it. But, they wanted $98 for it. Hmmm. What to do? |
 |
| Make a copy! |
 |
| So I did. Forgive the blurry photo. Ev is still learning the art of focus...me too. |
 |
| And yes, there was snow on the ground. And I did wear about three layers, including tights, knee-socks, tall boots, scarf, and cardigan. But more importantly, I finished my copy in less than a week and got to wear it!!!! |
 |
| The next project. |
 |
| Our second story nest. Have I mentioned how much I love the light in this room? |
 |
| A note on fabric: I wanted to match the gorgeous floral in the catalog as closely as possible. And with a little patience and dedicated thrifting, I found an amazingly close floral--in a vintage sheet, for fifty cents. Doesn't get sweeter than that. Oh wait, my grand total was $2.85. So yep, compared to spending over $100, I feel pretty darn good! |
