Hopefully everyone has checked out the list by now.
Hopefully that little linky to it works, I don't always have success when trying to link to something within my own blog!
I was given a huge box of fabric today. A gentlemen at work (and he really is) has been clearing crap from his garage and all over his house, and has stuff left by his ex-wife, such as fabric, to offload. So he brought it in today, and as it was raining, we had our car, so there is a box of fabric for me to go through sitting in the foyer. I'll look at it after dinner.
I have to say, I'm really enjoying sewing at the moment, which is nice. So I've been doing little bits here and there, and getting more than a bit accomplished. Of course, not everything I would like; I have about 5 frocks still in need of altering, plus 4 frocks I really, really want to make and wear now. Not to mention the pair of pants I have started for G, and the pair I really want to make him for winter.
Amongst other things. I'm very good at overloading myself and sometimes setting ridiculous goals!
Today I wore:
Frock-retro, opshopped and revamped
Cardi-opshopped
Coat-retro, opshopped
Handbag-vintage, school fair
Fishnets-Trade Me
Shoes-K Mart sale
Hat-vintage, opshopped
We also got some rain on Sunday.
I really don't mind a rainy Sunday.
We watched a couple of movies, "A Single Man", with the divine Colin, which was wonderful, and "Coffee and Cigarettes", which was not really my thing.
Julianne Moore looked amazing in "A Single Man", her eyemakeup was superb. The set and costume design was weepingly good also. And Colin!!! EEEK! I want to do dastardly things with him....oooer.
He is freakin' HOT!
Sigh.
Lucky I have G, really. He too is HOT!
Hurrah!

Wonder what fabric treasures you will unpack hope we get a looksee.
Ridiculous goals are great! Dream small, achieve small I say.
You look scrumptious and I am looking forward to seeing some of this fabric loot in action
I just love the photo of you in the rain ~ you simply glow in that gorgeous outfit against the deep green of the hedge. Very autumnal indeed! (Have to admit that it does seem a tad weird that you are in autumn whilst we are in spring lol)
I don't set myself enough goals, that is something I need to change! I did indeed check out the list I can't wait to start seeing blog posts about it. *exciting* x
It's very easy to end up with too much on your plate, especially being creative! How lovely that the chap from work thought of you when he found the box of fabric x
Love your redness in the rain, it brightens things up.
The weather here is finally starting to improve (touch wood). Phew.
Can't get over you with your fringe. It soooo suits you. Love the red shoes in your first picture.
Totally loving the red, white & blue. I realllly want to see A Single Man....
I LOVE AND ADORE the shoes you are wearing in the first picture! So bloody cute! The handbag is gorgeous also, the colour makes it look very nautical!
Please may I have your leopard print brolly? :p x
Red is DEFINITELY your colour! reow! Allthough you do look freezing under that umberella! I have been getting excited over wearing coats and tights every day :) Ohhh, a box of fabric to exploure sounds fun! I have a couple of bags of clothes that were under someones house for a few years to explore in Haydens boot...thing is, I've got to find his keys before I can rummage through them! Might go and find them now actually!
Love to you Helga! Can't wait to see your sewing creations!
Xx

you look adorable in both outfits. Love the blue purse in the first photo! and both shoes!
I love the coat of yours! I haven't managed to get around commenting all your post (form the last errr...3 weeks. Bad me.). You look mighty fine with bangs!
A rainy day in watching Colin Firth, perfect! Love the coat. x
And how nice of the guy at work to think of you.x
Dearest Helga, you look wonderful in tartan. And the orange frock and petticoat! I love it.
I must see A Single Man. It's on the list xx
love your tartan coat and all that red color on your outfits, specially red-orange tights and shoes (loving them a lot)!
And don't worry, dear Helga, I think every girl knows how to overload herself!
besos
I had the same animal response to Mr. Firth in A Single Man.
Oh YES, I love A Single Man. It even made me look at Nicholas Hoult in a whole new light, although I think I'll always struggle not to remember him as the geeky kid in About A Boy.
You're looking pretty damn HOT in red! Love the ensemble, all of it!
...overloading can be good... I say, one life to lead it all...go for it!
See you soon!
You look so totally amazing!!! Fall weather works for you! :) It is supposed to be spring here, but we will have either freezing rain or snow tomorrow. Ha ha, oh weather...why you mess with me so! ha ha. :) I rrreally love the bangs your sporting and cannot wait to see what your gonna make with that fabric. :) Hearts, Janna Lynn
I have a LEOPARD ummbrella too! And I adore it.
