cashmere leggings

these are the one-and-only finished product of my attempt at maternity knitting.
i was going to add a ribbon as per the pattern but i opted for a more practical elastic. not as pretty but distinctively more vintage looking. i feel like this came out of a box of my own baby clothes.

owl towels

new tea towels from some vintage woven fabric i found on etsy:

I've had this dress in my mind for awhile, and a few weeks ago, I searched for some material to correspond with the front piece which I could use to make a cowl neckline for the back. Rebecca showed me how to make the pattern from a shirt I already had.
I'm delighted with it. A good way to celebrate the beginning of a week as my alter ego (without offspring). Brett and I are a bit lost to tell the truth, but I have to admit dinner was so enjoyably civil....with well chosen words and deliberate conversation.
