Dotty about you!

Hello from the depths of feeling ill misery!  I'm not quite sure what's wrong with me but I've got rotten bunged-upness, headaches, Pains in my lower back, aching tummy, feeling queasy, sore muscles and feeling generally exhausted. It just makes me think about how wonderful it is to be well!  Woe is me!

Anyway, yesterday, we had a fund-raiser at school for Children in need where we had to come in wearing spots or dots.  Everyone made a great effort I must say- there must have been a real run on spot stickers in Tescos and in all the clothes shops.   I saw this as an opportunity to wear some of my favourite clothes plus a little creativity.  I wore a red spotty scarf around my hair plus a thrifted red-spotty cardie, with Cath Kidston long-sleeved spot top underneath for warmth and on top, a blue vintage dress with red and white spots on it (plus net petticoat)

 On Wednesday, I was pondering about accessories- I wanted to be a little creative so I decided to make a necklace and earrings to go with the outfit.

All I needed to make this necklace was a star-shaped punch, a larger star-shaped cookie cutter, red and blue funkyfoam, Pebeo 3D pearlescent touch paint, and some red thread.

 The earrings proved a little more problematic until I remember I had a pair of red-heart shaped earrings that I could use to attach the stars to.

 My head was really taken with the pattern of the dress.  I quite-liked it too.

 Alas, I could not find my red-spotty ballet-pumps so I wore these red ribboned slingbacks instead.

All in all, I was pleased with my effort- it's such fun getting dressed up for a specific purpose!

How are you today?
