I'm sure Hazel will find it hilarious when the big kids play puppets.<br />I doubt if it's really true, but I subscribe to the theory that only bad/cheap wine gives me hangovers!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-72028744303500409432015-02-25T00:05:14.277+11:002015-02-25T00:05:14.277+11:00My kids fail to understand why I can't sit the...My kids fail to understand why I can't sit them across my foot then do 360 leg swirls where they end up almost head height.

Perhaps I'm more of a merlot than a marsala.... I should have opened a few more bottles to get the colour/grape match right! I've seen the camas in some woven fabrics and it can look great. There's a lovely gold silk one that I found online. You'd only need to check the sleeve width as that's the part that could require some stretch. Go for it!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-50484106951345852072015-02-25T00:00:13.871+11:002015-02-25T00:00:13.871+11:00:) Well I won't confess to what time it was wh...:) Well I won't confess to what time it was when the pictures were taken! The best light is sometimes in the morning, though. I wish I had a nice big window to one side to get that sort of light for photos at home, and yeah, the wallpaper is pretty awesome.

I also want to make the hats, I think. Where was I when you were doing the ultimate epic challenge?!<br />You look lovely and your brother reminds me of Dan! Such a stud! ;) Love the wine staging, too. Oh the days when I could drink wine without having to pay so severely the next day. My tolerance is so low and the hangovers are the worst - especially with reds. Even one glass and the next day I feel bad.

This seems like such a wearable pattern. The plunging neckline is very flattering although I'd definitely have to watch how deep it plunges if I plan to wear the top to work! LOL! I am trying NOT to buy new patterns, though, and I'm currently helped by the fact that my machine is in the shop and I'm stuck with a 1951 straight stitch machine for the next couple weeks.

I do for sure cook with Marsala wine though! The top looks amazing on you.<br /><br />We are selling the Thread Theory patterns on our site now, so I really need to make up some of them. I've got plans for the henley and the Jedidiah pants for my youngest son - my husband is threatening to model some Comex trunks though! <br /><br />I wonder if this top might work in double gauze....hmmmmmm.....Janice https://www.blogger.com/profile/15516765600724614193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-37065680545787013512015-02-23T03:11:57.336+11:002015-02-23T03:11:57.336+11:00Beautiful photos!
