Retro Hair...

I had my hair cut a couple of months ago; and although short hair suits me, I miss having enough hair to curl.  I am back on a mission to grow it a bit for summer, so I can set it, add over-sized flowers to it, add slightly ridiculous over-sized bow headbands to it, and anything else age-inappropriate to it!!  I really like the first two pics., but think I may look slightly more like Joanie....




I Heart Pom-Poms!

I LOVE the retro-ness of a pom-pom;  the same way I do with ric-rac! (Another post...).
Just before Christmas I made some pom-pom collars, which I called 'Carnival Collars'.  They have a slight Mexicana/Frida look to them, and are really fun looking on!  I think you are either a pom-pom person or not!  Are you...?

I have been woefully absent for the last month or so.  But here I am looking forward to the year ahead.  I hope you are too...

Ding-dong..... Yay, postman!  Some very nice deliveries; thank you very much.
The latest edition of Mollie Makes, (look out for next months, as I have supplied the free cover gift), and two editions of the total-style-porn, Paumes design  books  www.paumes.com . One on Marimekko designers and the other, Nordic Deco Ideas.   Ohh, I almost can't wait until bed time......
