Simplicity vintage barbie fashion doll pattern

I bought the fabric (Lisette lawn) and made the muslin for this top during last year's sewalong, but the muslin didn't fit quite right so I set the project aside. Pulled it back out and made the top this week--and I like it! A lot.

 

Next time I make it, I'll take some of the fabric out of the back. It's a lot of fabric to gather and I ended up with lots of pleats. They fell sort of symmetrically so I just left them there. Shhhhh.....

I finally did some water drop macros with my tamron 90mm i have gobs on my comp they are all good photos but i am not going to populate my photostreme with them, that wouldn't be fair to the other pictures =P

The daisies have started to bloom in my garden. Such happiness in such simplicity.

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!)

Pain throws you heart to the ground

Love turns the whole thing around

No, it won't all go the way, it should

But I know the heart of life is good.

I don’t drink coffee but I like sitting in every now and then to enjoy the simplicity atmosphere with a cup of drink, with a book, with my laptop and music on even though I was alone sometimes.

 

I wish it could stay that way forever.
