Autumn into December
We have enjoyed a beautiful -if ludicrously mild- autumn. I’m kind of running out of superlatives to describe the rapid changes to our climate on the blog, but yeah, “there was little need for a sweater the entirety of October and my entire balcony garden […]
Night Sky Ogden Tier Dress
Hi all, I thought it was time for another sewing make on the blog. This is a dress I started when summer just rolled around, finished by the end of summer when we were moving towards autumn, and photographed in earlier autumn. Now finally it […]
