Embroideries

On the subject of embroidery, before I get lost in my own personal waffle, do head over to Ang's blog to see the complete Postcard project that she and Kirsten have been working on for the past year! It's been really exciting seeing what they each embroidered every month, before sending back to the other for the next installment!

Here's a throwback to the first Saturday of Half Term (I think!) to an outfit that was pleasingly coordinated!

It came about because I found this cute cotton embroidered top in the charity shop that would be excellent for Summer for school. However, I was itching to wear it and I took inspiration from Vix who wears her lovely embroidered tops layered over other items. In this case, a boring but much worn cotton top from the Lidl middle aisles quite a few years ago.

I knew it would go brilliantly with my Zara velvet, embroidered trousers which I brazenly copied Anna (Anna's Island Style) by buying!

Here they are up close- worn with my Remonte teal boots- bought from Finale in Corbridge in 2021, to replace my DMs which are not waterproof anymore.

 Yaaaay, I found some more of my hats- there's a box under the stairs- Mum made this beret for me! 

The earrings are more from Lorelai LQ- these were some of her earlier pieces when she was first experimenting with reusing plastics- they are made from plastic bags and go so nicely with the colours of the top.

Hope all is well with you. Stay safe.

I had a lovely weekend with the foraging walk, church, around 3 hours of Gamelan practice by myself at home, some marking and making nettle soup as well as a little gardening!
