Life's a beach.....

I finished sewing an outfit today that has a 'nautical' theme to it...well the fabric of the top has anchors on it, does that count as nautical?  I thought I'd take Wren down to the beach to photograph her and was glad I did.  The beach was completely empty and it was really lovely just sitting there listening to the waves.  It was a bit windy so Wren fell over a few times in the sand and her sand in her hair and a bit windblown but I think she enjoyed herself.

Wrens hair ribbons were tied nicely before we got to the beach but she soon had them hanging down!!!

I was a bit worried that she'd ruin her lovely JJ sandals but they're made of sterner stuff and survived her jaunt on the beach!

Wren has such a dreamy look in this photo!

Sunshine on her skin....

I was taking some outfit photos this evening and Wren, my 1969 Kilt girl, was modelling for me.  The sun was just starting to go down and the light was really pretty.  This photo was one I took just of her face and I was really pleased with the colours......the sky was going quite pink and it seems to have given her face a particularly nice warm glow.

A bit of sewing....

I brought some unfinished sewing to the coast with me and today made a start on a couple of items.  I finished an outfit that I'd started a couple of weeks back, and also adapted some patterns that I wasn't particularly happy with. 

Here is little Wren (I recently changed her name from Aspen as it really didn't suit her!), my 1969 Kilt girl modelling it for me.  I really do like the look of this girl, she has such dreamy eyes.  Sorry about her bare feet, she only brought one pair of shoes with her and they didn't go with this outfit!!
