Getcher Bather On !

I'm sorry, is this the cutest suit you've seen, 

like e.v.e.r?

I need this, want this, and am going to have this

if it's the last suit I ever purchase!

the fabric was designed buy (that is not a typo)

for

Dreamin' My Little Dream . . .

...Don't ask me what I WANT or NEED for my birthday...

Cuz the answer is not what I'm going to GET!

ANSWER: ~ Les Soeurs Anglaises Workshop ~

...A residential workshop in south west France...

...This one would suit...

stitching and knitting with miscellaneous collected objects

by ~ Julie Arkell ~ 

...or this one...

...Creative Embroidery with ~ Susie Cowie ~...

I think this fits in the need category, so 

my chances are better, right?

~ Susie Cowie's ~ work is so delicate, so special.

I fell in love with her work in my ~ Selvedge Magazine ~

and have dreamed of a workshop with her since.

{these bowties kill me}

 

{sweetest cami}

Now back to ~ Les Soeurs Anglaises ~

I'd go here for just about any workshop!

...or no workshop at all really...

 

 

And how's this for the "cheap seats" in the dormitory?

If I went with 3 friend stitchin' buddies,

we could take over this loft!

I'm just dreamin'...but this is one dream I wouldn't 

mind coming true!

I just asked you to ~ turn out your lights ~

but LOOK @ THESE!

~ Madeleine Boulesteix ~

"Madeleine has always loved making things since she was a child. She went to Art School to explore drawing, sculpture, photography print and textiles and later found her happiest way of working - making the chandeliers - quite by accident after finding some chandelier glass. She has always worked in the creative field whether as a photographer, theatre prop maker or teacher before working on the chandeliers full-time."

~ Anya Hindmarch ~

I love her little logo!

Turn Out The Lights!

Don't forget, tonight @ 8:30,

TURN OUT YOUR LIGHTS!

~ EARTH HOUR ~

...That's a tall order if you have any of these...

but do it anyway!

This is not exactly what I picture when I think BANDIT,

But she's the coolest bandit I've ever seen.

I'm guessing she got away with her crime or anything else she wanted.

Ok, out comes the jean shirt and I want a great new belt...

~ Free People ~

I like the buckle on this one and the fringe is

so fun, but I guess that's also why it'd be hard to wear.

~ Free People ~

This one's pricey, but great looking!

~ Garnet Hill ~

Is this one tough enough?

Cuz you could wear it with everything and it's only $38 bucks!

Maybe I could add something to this one to make it bandit-like and not so simple... just a little bit more... Maybe stamp in some designs like we use to do at camp and add some brass studs or add some strips like  ~ Mr. Piecey Price up there from Free People ~ Maybe just in the front so it wouldn't be a chore to get it through the loops on your britches... I'm thinking I need to get my friend Cat to help me with this little project...

~ RoseWoolls ~

I'm creating quite a list for Cat to help me with.

Remember my ~ spinning urge (park 'n drive) ~

Cat is also ~ Tangles & Mud ~ but she's not posted there in awhile.

I'm guessing she's covered up with her leather goods.

...I want one of her headbands too...

Cat, looks like we need to get the gang together 

and make some stuff!

Reeve? Shellie?

Woolie Little Crush . . .

I think these would make the sweetest little

somethin'-somethin' for a nursery.

...used in a garland maybe...

ADORE!

I Think It's Time . . .

...to make a cozy grey cabled sweater that I will

want to wear with absolutely everything...

oh, I mean another one...

Ok, so I have a favorite pair of jeans. I don't even know how old they are. Honestly, they are not that old (or are they Lora?), I just wear them to death...haha literally! They are were Chip & Pepper's "Sorority Girl," but now they are... just hanging on by a thread! I've tried to replace them, but NOTHING fits like these. Even another pair of "Sorority Girls!" Believe me, I've tried! They hang on my hips and baggy in the fanny (what's left of it) to perfection. BUT, when I saw these below today... I wish I could just put mine in a shadowbox frame, hang them on the wall and start over... My patches have patches and they have to be repaired to decency after every washing and it's painfully time consuming.

I adore this jacket! It'd look great with my patches!

ps NO, you can't buy my jeans, and I can't fix yours, 
it's hard as heck and so time consuming it blows anybody's budget!
