Cotton blend

Wearing self-altered jean jacket, Express cardigan, ASOS dress, H&M leggings, ASOS boots and random scarf

I've had this jean jacket sit in my closet for months and wore it maybe twice, so I decided to alter it. Swapping the jean sleeves for hoodie sleeves made it much more wearable and 80s. Very happy with the result. I really like the bulk the scarf gives it too.

So I stumbled across a series of photos on yellowtrace of rooms at Boulevard Leopard, a bed and breakfast in Antwerp, Belgium. This is one of those photos

It immediately reminded me of the dollhouse of Petronella Oortman in the Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam, which I've never seen, but I remember having a book about it. I remember loving this book.
The antique finishes and the partially concealed second room are so simple and beautiful

Projects in progress..
I love making summer dresses! This one needs a zipper..and I was really hoping it would survive on stretch alone but no. Wait for more progress next week.
On an unrelated note sometimes humidity does amazing things to my hair.

practice makes perfect

right?

Foxtail

Hopefully the last set of gloomy photos for a while.  The bright orange foxtail has been helping add some color to the white skies here lately.  Maybe that was a good h&m impulse purchase after all?
Finished the dress, wearing it in the third photo though I realize you can't see it.. and that I'm being completely unhelpful..
Now on to dress 2!

City Trains

Some random photos from the last few days
I realized how much I miss trains in foreign cities; knowing where I'm going and not knowing where I am
