To Do:

I found this pattern for free on Collette while searching for simple vintage underwear patterns to try out. I Find under wear and bras in general to be overpriced, poorly made and poorly fitted, and it stuck with me when a dear friend had had enough and began a search for the perfect bra pattern for her own shape. While that is a more complex sewing project than I'm willing to try when I've only just got my sewing machine out of "storage" at my folk's house I'm totally dying to attempt these bloomers.

Simple and perfect.

True blue love.

Under the guise of research honing my aesthetic as an artist and as a general lover of beautiful things I have the urge to share these beautiful things from anthropology.

Back In Steel town now, trading in the sea breeze for the light general aroma of industry. I accomplished most of my goals while in Halifax including the acquisition of some lovely souvenirs...I'll post some pictures of those soon. With all the whirlwind of leaving one home and coming here to the other I have not posted in some time. I shall most certainly try to post every week at least - however I am of the general belief that life being lived is a thousand times more potent that life reflected through cyberspace. On the other hand life being written or read about is most defiantly life lived. ....or life photographed because I really like my new camera.


Here are some photographs taken of the landscape I lived in for most of my life,


I swelled with the ocean, am set in the the rocks and my thoughts have tangled and clung to those rocks like over-tall scots pines in three feet of top soil.


this is home.
