One of the most interesting trees I've ever seen. This was located at the butterfly house in St. Louis, Missouri.

🌸 The Taya Top — By Newphe 🌸

I slip into my favorite coffee shop, where the scent of roasted beans mingles with the sweetness of pastries stacked behind glass. The barista—the one with the mischievous smile and sleeves rolled just high enough—already knows my order. But today, as I lean across the counter in my Taya Top, I let my eyes linger a little longer, teasing him with the soft promise of fabric that whispers flirtation.

The silhouette is playful yet refined: an off-shoulder drape kissed with ruffles, cinched at the waist with a sash that recalls a ribboned secret. Its blooms, delicate as pressed flowers, nod to the rococo salons of 18th-century Paris, where flirtation was art, and every bow or gathered seam a coded message of desire. It also channels the youthful 90s revival, when girls in candy-colored tops and lace trims lingered at coffeehouses, sketching dreams into notebooks while stealing glances at strangers across the room.

In this café light, my Taya shines—a pastel poem of movement and skin. I stir my cappuccino slowly, knowing he is watching, as if the curve of my top carries an invitation written in silk and color.

✨ HUD Features

The Taya Top Fatpack HUD offers a rainbow of choices: vibrant primaries, soft pastels, sultry jewel tones—each hue able to transform my mood. The detailing, from floral appliqués to delicate sash and trim, can be adjusted individually, letting me flirt with contrast or settle into monochrome perfection.

And as I take my cup, brushing fingers against his just long enough, I smile—because fashion, like flirtation, is the timeless language of being seen.

I wonder if the rain turns purple here too?

These bottles were burst-off from the blowpipe and received no additional finishing which resulted in the very crude and sharp finish visible in the image. This method of "finishing" a bottle was common with cheap, mouth-blown, utilitarian bottles made in England in the late 1800s

I'm sure I didn't look at all silly squatting in my living room in the dark in the middle of the night illuminating an empty bottle with the rear light from my bicycle.

6th part of the year review:

In October I did a roadtrip to the Eibsee because I wanted to see it during fall.

Despite the lack of colors I really like the structure in the mountain and the fog that came rolling in right after sunset.

Ideally placed in the top garden at Quarry Bank, Styal.

Okay, so it's a little bit windy out today :)

I couldn't stop thinking about that spiral quilt in the "Infinite Variety" show - and I had this color bundle that I picked up with Kelly. So here's what we've got:

The top is DONE! It's also GIGANTIC - somewhere around 78" or so. I had to add a wee little quarter-sized circle in the center because the center seams are UNBEARABLE - there are 48 seams in there. Other than that, I'm happy with it so far. I'll be heading out this afternoon to get some grey fabric for the backing, and I'll be handquilting it - matching colors, following the spirals out along the corners. I don't know what I'm going to do with the white corner parts yet.

Wheeee!
