vintage pattern

Longest Night Moon

- robin

I bought this VOGUE pattern in 1999. Does that make it vintage?

I have not had much energy lately and sleep each afternoon….but all I can think about is making a full length skirt from this old pattern. So, I dragged Larry to a few fabric shops and I found this amazing wide whale corduroy to make the skirt out of.

Over the next two weeks I have a few events to attend and need to be as comfortable as possible. I will wear this skirt with a black turtleneck and my Kate Spade Rhinestone necklace. { and Burberry accessories}

The skirt does not have side pockets but I am adding them. I am looking forward to filling the pockets with lip gloss, tissues and mints. It will be nice to go out over the holidays in my new casual/formal skirt. Hashtag:letsgetthisradiationoverwith.

I am reading a book about recovering my creative spirit. I try to be creative, in some way, every day….making a skirt counts, doesn’t it?

Have a perfectly creative day.

Love you beyond the moon that will be full on Dec, 12 at 12:12 am. It is called, The Longest Night Moon.

ART Will Absorb The Joy

- robin

Meditation Experience~ Day 17~Grace Is Perfect. Even When My Life isn’t. I know this so well, but why do I expect things to be perfect all the time? My days are filled with constant reminders that life is a joy, Tremendous things can happen, just from a smile, People are generous and kind and just noticing the beauty of the sky, can make the day so much better.

I have finished the first Hawaiian dress and now for the second. No, this is not a typical Hawaiian dress, but it will be my version of one. A classic Batik fabric with a vintage {1972} pattern. It will be full length. I have not chosen a trim for it yet, but maybe I will not put a trim on it….

I have been walking 4 miles each day and I am tired. Just tired. The worst part is, I WANT to move and get things done, but I am just tired.

Larry is in Dallas. The morning is filled with meetings for him. He has a cold today or allergies and feels miserable. Larry never complains. When he does it is bad.

The windows are open and the birds are singing. I am going to cut out number 2 Hawaiian dress.now….I believe that when you are creating and your surrounds are inspirational, the project or ART will absorb the joy of your environment. Life.

Love you,

Me
