Spent too much time researching Cat poses for a client. He is very bendable, I've noticed. Got disracted by cute fashion blogs and art blogs. Drooled over sweaters.
And I watched the snow. Beautiful day.

What I Am Loving/Doing
This Antropologie sweater-jacket made me sigh and wonder, "How can I make that?!" Love the bias cut ruffle closure with buttons. Yummy.

Altering Sweater Finds
Tis the season-for sweaters!
The blue 100% silk sweater ($2.48 at my favorite thrift store) used to be a turtleneck. Now it is a crew neck, very wearable. It was easy to cut off the offending neck and sew with matching thread.
I tried Day 13 from this blog inspiration, and Suzanna liked it! Take a white/off white sweater and sew couplets of lace on the shoulders. This is my favorite alteration, so far.
Imagine this without the silver turtleneck (the bottom half of the silver sweater turned into a bolero for a dance jacket---must get a picture of that on the beautiful model to show you!
I tried Day 15 with a nice ocher polar fleece sewn to the hem and neck of a yellow bolero and left longer piece to wrap around neck-super cute-and then made another ochre scarf, loving the organic leaf-look.
