An alteration of an alteration! The Dual Wear Drape Front Cardigan (click for instructions) offered such a cozy feel while still looking smart, that we wanted to use it again!
This time we extended the bottom hem 10 inches and made it from Smokey Turquoise Two SK804, a viscose/Lycra blend sweater knit.
I didn't check. (Something weird is going on with that Konica, that's what's going on with the blur in the bottom. I kinda like it, though.)

This is Stanton Hall circa 1857. This is one of the more famous antebellum homes in Natchez, MS. I've probably taken 30 pictures of this place and hated every one of them. There are two huge walkways on the corners of this building. That's where most people photograph this building from, as you can eliminate many of the enormous oak trees on the grounds. Yesterday I decided to embrace the oak trees, and w/o question, this is my favorite photograph I've taken so far of Stanton Hall.
The blue and white drape material you see here is being used to seperate vender areas into Booths.
The booth consists of an 8 foot high backwall, two 3 foot high siderails, a 6 foot table with skirt & cover, two chairs, and a waste basket. Many times a sign is included in the package with the vendor's name on it. Note in the foreground how this expo coordinator wanted only a three foot high backwall in the middle of the room. There was a stage with instructors and entertainers at this show, and they wanted all the attendees to be able to view from anywhere on the floor. www.camelotspecialevents.com
I took a draping class with sewing group at DAAP, and got to play with the fabric :) It was so of fun!
The back is a little hard to see because the sloper is underneath, but it's just a "v" toward the right.
Yesterday was another incredible day in Boston. Spring here just keeps getting nicer. The most interesting part about the Boston Public Garden is the number of different people who are seen walking around. They range from business men, to mothers, to lovers, to musicians, to painters, to photographers. Here are a few shots from this beautiful place.

I'm not really a big fashionista. I say 'not really' but the truth is, I'm not at all. I'm the wrong shape and height to wear most fashion items well. That and my general 'tromping about' style, carting around a bag full of cameras and film, wearing my shoes down, wondering where I can find something nice to eat after rushing about only just managing not to be late to everywhere I go (sometimes at least).
Cool, calm, poised, big clothes budget, delicate heels & high class handbag dangling from the crook of my elbow; eschewing food and on the rare occasion that it is eaten, it is done so delicately without EVER dropping crumbs or sandwich insides over clothing.
Nope! You've probably guessed it, that's just not me. :)
So I found myself in this exhibition having just been put off by the enormous queue into the Picasso exhibition and having decided I'd go there early on a weekday instead, (when it would be much quieter). This was nearby, it was free, and I'm supposed to be absorbing as much of the culture here as possible. So here I was.
I'm a bit lost about the point of it all really. I'm stunned that a woman has primarily been defined here by her wardrobe and the fact that she was married to a wealthy business man, and by the end of this exhibition, that is all that I know about her. Having never heard her name before, I find that disappointing. Apart from wearing nice clothes and being perceived as having style and dignity in keeping with her social position. (That imperative in itself drives me nuts!) Who was Maria Brillas? What else was she interested in (other than looking nice in public)? What did she DO?
I think I've slam dunked myself into 'another generation of women who had to appear a certain way to be accepted into their social class'. It's become clear that Maria Brillas achieved this spectacularly. I hope though, that for Catalan women, and ALL women, that we at some point liberate ourselves of this nonsense! Not much has changed I guess. :(
Those broader misgivings aside, I could appreciate the fabrics, the design skill, and the way in which the 'wardrobe' was displayed, and I'm glad I went.
The exhibition runs until 28th August 2011. Free Entry.

Day Eleven .. Visiting the Liverpool Docklands before making our way to Blackpool for the night.
Tate Liverpool is an art gallery and museum in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, and part of Tate, along with Tate St Ives, Cornwall, Tate Britain, London, and Tate Modern, London. The museum was an initiative of the Merseyside Development Corporation.
Housed in a converted warehouse within the Albert Dock on Liverpool's waterfront, the gallery was opened on 24 May 1988 by HRH Prince Charles, an event covered by BBC Two television. The original conversion was done by James Stirling but the building was given a major refurbishment in 1998 to create additional gallery space.
Bringing together artworks from all over the world, Tate Liverpool prides itself on staging an ever-evolving programme of unique and incredible collections. With past artists featured including Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Claude Monet, we’re always looking forward to what the next Tate Liverpool season will bring to our doorstep.
