I made this skirt last summer. I have since sworn off patterns and am now making things freehand, which is much less stressful for my non existent left brain. It did turn our like I imagined. I searched high and low for Houndstooth fabric and finally found it in the upholstery section. Now that fall is here, hounds tooth is everywhere of course. Anyway, I imagined it with a black blouse, orange sweater vest and orange shoes. I thought it was really striking together. I am going to add some antique lace applique's to the front stomach area. I hope it gives it a bit of a french look and softens the sharp houndstooth print. What do you think? It's not ironed here, but you get the idea.

Hooray for houndstooth

Happy Thanksgiving
Although THanksgiving is quite short being between halloween and Christmas, I love to decorate for it. Fall colors are my absolute favorite and the warmth of it all seems to set the tone for christmas.
