monochrome




Hello! Yes I am alive. Just. The past week has been busy with my mother coming to stay (yay!) and also visits to the chiropractor. Lucy thought it might be fun to jump on my back while I was crouched down playing with Audrey. Not her best move, but in her defence she just wanted to join in on the fun. Turns out all the pain did mean something too - she had actually pushed forward and rotated my pelvis! My spine looked a bit wonky in the x-rays, but with lots of yanking, cracking and pulling my back is starting to smile again.

And on the shop front, I've just listed some new leggings for adults - this cool monochromatic print I fell in love with the minute I saw it (black/warm grey). They're bold enough without being over the top. I'm getting cosy in mine right now, but with Emu boots (so good I live in them permanently at home) and a wool jersey. It's undeniably cold here today, which made taking the photos in t.shirt and bare feet rather unpleasant. We've had a week of no-cloud blue sky days but today it has all changed. Audrey and I might just have to light the fire and get down with the lego this afternoon.

  1. Oh my, I have two pairs of these Emu boots, and also live in them around home! Aren't they wonderful!
    Also, great tights!
    You are a supremely clever seamstress, I am so impressed with your top stitching, I can never get it anywhere near that straight, especially with a little boy tugging at the fabric as I sew. Well done Catherine, I love LOVE all your posts on your sewing, and beautiful children.
    Enjoy the weekend.

  2. You're too kind Melissa!

    Lucy also has Emus, even Audrey! I have been meaning to get a picture of us all lined up. Audrey got the Walkervilles, very cute and they stay on (unlike the bootie-style pair I first bought). It's so pleasing when I take her shoe off that it's toasty inside. If I ever lost or damaged my pair I would be getting a new pair so fast you wouldn't believe. That's how much I like them.

  4. gorgeous print on those leggings. i'm guessing those emus would suffer in the snow and slush as much as my uggs? i'm already on the hunt for the perfect pair of winter boots for leon.
