This was one of those weeks were I was hopeful and positive that I would get a lot done. I should know better at this point, that most things don't work out as expected! I did not get too much done this week, but perhaps the weekend will be different. I did manage to get my Datura blouse that I have been working on mostly done. I still need to decide on buttons and I believe I am going to hand stitch the hem, but for the most part it is finished. I think I am going to write a review of the Deer and Doe pattern for the Datura blouse, but that will come a little later. Below is what I have so far, what do you think?
I used Kaufman Essex yarn dyed linen in flax for the yoke and The Way of Flowers from the Koi Collection by Rashida Coleman-Hale for the bottom. Both of these are two of my favorites! I really love this print. The colors are wonderful and I love the little dragonflies scattered about.
Today's post is going to be short because it is my husband and my anniversary today, plus we are trying to get ready for a 13 year old's birthday party...this should be interesting. I love how I didn't realize what date it was when I said yes to the party....ooops. Anyway, I am going to try and have a big finish next week, wish me luck! Until then have fun creating!
