Skirts

 I've been slowly working my way through the fabric I received in December. After the polka dot dress, I made the daisy fabric into a pencil skirt:


I've made two long skirts. First the green:


And then, yesterday, a similar skirt with the peacock fabric, a fabric that deserves a close up:


I had thought I'd wear the skirt with my turquoise silk top with tatted edging around the neck:


But when I put them together, it turned out that the turquoise is too green and they don't look good together:

Hmmm. I sent a series of photos off to my daughter, trying out different tops, and eventually the consensus was that this one works best:


So now I'm set for a trip away for a few days. It's funny how you 'never' go away and then find yourself taking two trips in a month. I'll check in when I get back.
