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

Blurred spring start

Wearing Old Navy jacket, brother's old sweater, skirt made by my mom, tights, ASOS boots

Grainy photos on a warmer evening and my attempt at mixing prints.
Currently working on a jersey dress and crochet tank. I hope to post the dress soon!

Déjeuner du matin


Il a mis le cafe
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de cafe
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le cafe au lait
Avec la petite cuiller
Il a tourne
Il a bu le cafe au lait
Et il a repose la tasse
Sans me parler
Il a allume
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fume
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder
Il s'est leve
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur sa tete
Il a mis
Son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Et moi j'ai pris
Ma tete dans ma main
Et j'ai pleure.

~Jacques Prevert
