Summer Sparkle Complete

 I have been feeling really tired, fed up and sorry for myself the last few days.  But do you know what has cheered me up this morning?  Well read on...I completed my Traveller dress on friday but today was my first chance to get photos.  I started off trying to photo it in the dining room.  Ironically I have been reading a book called "Cut the Clutter" that I thrifted recently.  I have implemented some of the ideas, and have even planned a post about it.  Well, obviously not in this room.

These indoor photos just weren't working due to excess clutter and poor light.  So I went outside. 




My "butter wouldn't melt" face of innocence.  I always look like this when near copious amounts of alcohol.

 Then I had to go and buy bread and milk so here we are...um..yes...that's the alcohol aisle in my local supermarket.  No, I am not stashing wine in my pram.  I may be struggling with the chaos of everyday life,  but it's not that bad. The booze aisle seemed the least busy for the self timer. 

Look closely and you can just see the yellow hem tape I used

Then I tried the homewares aisle.  And that's it...what cheered me up was sneaking around the supermarket photographing myself!   

Oh and the dress?  I don't want to damn with faint praise but it's comfortable, and I am loving the pockets.  It's so cold here I am wearing cropped leggings under it. I made the sleeves with turned up cuffs because that just seemed better than a plain old hem.  I can't really think of much else to say about it.  But that's good cos it's an everyday dress that fits and that I can wear a lot, I don't need to witter on about it.   One problem though:  eeeeeek, I don't have an orange cardigan to wear with it.  Can I cope with that?
