This came together pretty easy using some vintage fabric I scored at a garage sale or off craig's list, I can't remember which. The only bummer was slicing the sleeve while I was trimming the seam! At least it's in the back and the pattern is so busy you don't notice.
I try to remember simplicity is my goal as I rearrange my things in the newly renovated suite. I also try to remember simplicity is not an impossible goal even though the suite is only 328 square feet in size and both Tessa and Sole arrived with a lot of baggage. ;)

I used a linen/rayon blend to make up this skirt. One of the easier patterns I've used - a quick and simple project!

Simplicity. San Jose, California. December 28, 2011. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A small appliance store front window with many colorful signs, San Jose, California.
This is another in the "walked out my front door and made photographs" series, being a store front that is within a half mile or so of my home. I'm a bit of a fan of photographing the fronts of these small businesses that appear to be anything but chain operations. Each one is its own unique universe and, I assume, reflects the owner's personality in many ways including the cumulative effect of focusing on one small area of the world for many decades. I often wonder what it must be like to live in a world of vacuum cleaners for more than five decades - and I don't mean to imply anything by that question beyond a serious interest in how our primary interests end up influencing how we experience and see the world.
The visual quality of these places also interests me. I can initially simply be overwhelmed by the details that must have accumulated over time - the many brightly colored signs, a few things hung on walls, displays of specialized equipment and materials with brand names I barely recognize. Yet there is a very carefully created order in all of this. It is fun - for me at least! - to spend some time looking at these scenes and starting to pick out the small details that I might not initially notice. (Of course, that is easier with a big print than it is with this little jpg!)
