A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Happy Friday!

September 21, 2012

My standard uniform nowadays consists of yoga pants, a tank top and hoodie. The I-plan-on-going-to-the-gym look (“plan” being the operative word), worn mostly for the comfort. Once in a blue moon, though, I wish I had an opportunity to wear something fancy like the Valentino-inspired dress above. K saw it and said, “Is that a witch’s dress?” Hmmm…not the look I was going for.

Even if I’m not presented with ball gown worthy events, I could probably swing something fun like this:

I love painting outfits! I’ll have to do more of this.

I have another cute top + skirt combo that I made for K to share on Monday! Have a wonderful weekend, friends.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! I’m spending time with family in the Midwest and there is much to be grateful for, not the least of which is the slower pace this week. Sending big hugs to you! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Incidentally, this ikebana floral arrangement is one of the illustrations that didn’t make it into my book SHIBUI — I painted a lot of extra illos!
