All dressed up for the @hi.de.ho.swing end of term party (theme: Queen), I can now tell you that it is possible to dance the Charleston while dressed as Marie Antoinette 🍰 I also ate lots of cake that night, an excellent way to celebrate Queen's birthday.

Fresh on Etsy! A selection of hair bows in bright colours and fun prints from my extensive stash of off cuts and remnants, I've found that the red gingham goes with just about every outfit I've worn the past week! Which would you choose?!

Details of my latest make, with pointy collar and matching pointed cuffs. The fabric is a herringbone stripe on a denim blue background, it's from the stash and of unknown origin, although I think it might have been gifted by @nicks_kitchen_garden anyhow it's the perfect weight for autumn and I love the colour against the tall grasses.

Last month I started following @aclotheshorse on Patreon, I've been inspired by her photography ever since I first found her on Instagram, and it feels so good to be supporting her small business and at the same time learning from her expertise. It's also great fun to crash about in the long grass, wearing my latest creation, with the camera on a tripod and surprise the cyclists who race past!

Doesn't @belbeinalee look picture perfect in her Twinkletoes beret? Its one from my 'Napier Nudes' mini collection and features the Deco Lady of the Napier Municipal Theatre. By some fabulous coincidence I just restocked a couple of these berets at @thedepartmentnapier today (swipe to see them) so do pop in to nab your own!

Renovating our 1951 house and I love the details of construction coming to light. Pictured is a little piece of kiwi ingenuity - using beer bottle caps to hold building paper in place - part of the make do mindset of the postwar period? And picture two shows the geometry of the structure behind the stucco, I was so pleased to see our little house has such decorative bones. These will soon all be covered up again by new gib and paint, but it makes me happy knowing the beauty of the structure within.

One happy hound and two happy humans galloping at the beach with not a cloud in the sky! Nothing is so joyful as a greyhound sprongling about on endless sand, legs made of springs, as though she's part kangaroo 💙

Happy birthday to our big girl! 6 years old today and we are pleased to report she loved her birthday treat of banana/egg/peanut butter dessert with a berry on top 🍰 she started the day off with some excellent zoomies in her PJ's and spent the afternoon lounging in the sun. Oh to have a retired racing hounds life!

A new batch of 'Napier Nudes' berets are underway, and there's nothing more peaceful than a whole day spent hand sewing.

A successful morning's op-shopping! A couple of super cute '60s patterns and a bulk lot of ombre tassels! I've been watching a lot of Endeavour (early inspector Morse set in the 1960s) recently and am loving the fashion. Time to raid the stash I think and make the most of the long weekend!
