With all the polkadotty items I have in my closet I thought I'd take Yayoi Kusama as an inspiration and just throw them all together. I think it works for me, do you think it works for you?

Shot for Strobist Boot Camp Assignment II. First time shooting with food! Lit with one speedlight from above through a diy "lunch box." Had a little bit of window light coming through the side as well.
Overall, a delicious day of shooting.
New clothes! Yes, I know, I just did a major culling of my wardrobe...but I discovered I had room for more things than I thought, so I've been looking for some new stuff...like this dress:
I have mentioned how much I like polka dots, right? The belted peplum dress is by Stitch Btween, and I found it at Foreman Mills today (March 2014); the shoes are Mossimo "Viveca Blingy" green suede pumps from Target in February 2013. Other accessories are silver bow, silver and chunky jewelry, and natural hose.
More black-and-white--polka dots this time, combined with the red satin blouse and the new white belt. Both skirt and blouse are from Wal-Mart. Someday I'd like to add petticoats to this skirt (among others like the yellow one)...and I may have come up with some places to get them.
Accessories here are red headband, gold jewelry, dark hose and red baby-doll pumps.
I took the Polka dot challenge today. Polka dots are not in my stash, but then I realized that I had leftover Spring/Easter fabrics, leftover scraps from my classroom stitching, and I had the leftover scraps from a black and white challenge . The biggest piece was the blue polka dot fabric which was a fat quarter impulse buy. That meant that would be the background piece. I got the long thin 1/4/ yard green polka dot fabric for a baby quilt, but it didn't match the sagey greens well, and the two pink polka dot and sage green polka dot used for the trees are swatches from the corners of fabric I am making the baby quilt with. What to do? Then I realized the blue matched the crazy quilt learning piece I'd made years ago and had hoped to sew into a sewing machine cover. The aim was in a few hours make a sewing machine cover. I didn't want to spend time hand stitching as this was a half a day play date with myself. The house was born, the trees followed, the sun scrap fabric was unearthed from a long ago orange and yellow challenge. I spent more time looking for the polka dotted fabric in my craft room than I did stitching the piece. Good thing I'd redone my craft area, I knew where to look and was able to put things away again nicely! Tah Dah! A whimsical piece all made from polka dotted fabrics, my play date made my day!
I finally finished my Polka Dot Sampler a few weeks ago. I got it back from the long arm quilter in the summer and it took me forever to do the binding. In total, it took me about a year and a half to finish this quilt. Now that it's finished, I can't for the life of me understand why as the quilt turned out so great.
The back is made out of Amy Butler's Lotus fabrics.
Pink waistband, wall, "marble floor" and chair. Neutral/off-white books, trim, floor, rug & polkadots. I was trying to soften the tones in this room.
These seven art pieces are made by the fabulous Charlotte Thomson!!!

I picked this up at a yard sale for $5, but then I had to leave it when I moved to CT.
The dress was a 1940s sheer white with red velvet micro dots, tiered skirt, and puffy cap sleeves..

I am amazingly unadorned in this outfit...not accessories other than my spazzy hair! You can see some closeups OVER HERE. Happy Tuesday!
