Boring Views

The blog is being a bit glitchy today. Here is a boring view up the road from our living room. Yes, the houses are on a hill! 

Spring Wardrobe

A lovely sunny day prompts me to move into the Spring Wardrobe. Away with the boots and coats. And sod it I will still wear and buy some wardrobe rejuvenating items, even if it is just in the garden or to the supermarket,

The trend colours for 2020 are apparently:
Dark and light green
Purple and mauve
Coral
Pale blue

A nice selection!

Things I have bought or am considering buying:

Stripy tops
Blue flat shoes
Grey trainers
A denim jacket

Let’s spring into Spring!

Boring Views

As an art project I am doing a series of Boring Views from my house or my short local allowed walks. This is the view of the flats to the right of our house as seen from the bathroom window. 

I enjoy drawing all the plumbing, wiring, tv aerials, chimney pots etc. 

Spring Tulips

So many tulips coming up in my garden and a complete surprise as I have no idea what they are going to be like, as we are new to the house. 

Sewing projects

As we are all stuck at home I am getting into some sewing projects. Luckily I ordered a ton of discount fabric before this thing really hit, so I have lots to be getting on with.

So far I have made:

Wol pattern PJ shorts (above)
Stretch black pencil skirt (for work although who knows when I will need that)
Stretch teal pencil skirt

Nightwear is fun to make as you can use novelty fabrics without looking like a complete loon while out and about! Also I think we are all spending more time lurking in our comfy and comforting outfits at the moment.

And plan to make:
Pink and gold brocade wiggle dress
Blue leopard print PJ shorts
Japanese style cotton blouse
Purple velvet cloak (outlier suggestion by a friend, for me to wear while playing Dungeons and Dragons! I actually have a great book on making historical and cosplay stuff called ‘The Hero’s Closet’, which I can use.

Garden video

A new thing for today: a video tour of our garden...

Gardening Series

I am doing a lot of gardening at the moment as it is relaxing. Looking in the shed I was inspired to do another series of things pictures. The blue ones are floral pattern.
