I've found a new love for reading I thought I'd never had. Books rarely captivate but I'm finding myself going through the book case next to my desk getting lost in my own world.
I need to put my creative thinking cap on. I'm not feeling very satisfied at the moment with my images. I feel like I'm in a daze, I need to get back to feeling myself.
What I love in Adélie is her simplicity.
Her dress is vintage linen fabric I hand-dyed blue. Her little baby's bonnet is also vintage; I found it on a flea market this summer! It is made of lovely white extra light cotton, trimmed with tiny lace.

This dress has an elastic waist but feel it needs a belt so it's not too boring. I don't wear this dress much but think it will be in rotation more often this summer with my favorite rainbow polka dot wedges.

Tu non sai
come spunta una gemma
a primavera, e come un fiore
parla a un altro fiore
e come un sospiro
è udito dalle stelle.
E poi ancora il silenzio
e la vertigine dei pensieri,
e poi nessun pensiero
nella lunga notte,
ma solo gioia
pienezza di gioia
d'abbracciare la terra intera;
e di pregare e cantare
ma dentro, in silenzio.
David Maria Turoldo
I read on someones blog, that someone else was doing a ZT "simplicity" challenge on their blog...so here is my "simplicity", not so sure it is entangle though.
No belt

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.

Trying to capture falling feathers - not very simple! The quote is apt.
Note to self: Think of something more simple next time!

Simplicity if the ultimate form of sophistication.

A simple pleasure - the Cigar. Although it's not so simple to keep the right humidity in the Humidor. I'm keeping a stock of dried up expensive Cigars - at least useful for starting a fire.
It's also an effort to make a simple and elegant design on the label - which I have designed for a Friend.

This dress had so many little pieces, which was perfect for using up the ends of some favorite fabrics. Very fun pattern! The headband is not part of the pattern. . .made that one up.
