Sitting in my TV chair by the window, I happened to glance the other way, and my eye caught this shadow, which seemed very appropriate as a celebration of the Autumn Sun...
It was caused by the sun hitting the vase with leftover leaves from my birthday bouquet, and casting a sharp black shadow of them on the back of my hoodie sweater, draped over the back of a chair. (The thin horizontal lines are also shadows, from the venetian blinds in the window.)
To go with the pink theme, I'll also throw in this photo of Barbie and Skipper (mainly for Meike, who asked after them in a comment on my previous post). Barbie is enjoying the luxury of wearing a new pink top that I managed to make for her out of the cuff of a sock. (Skipper says magenta doesn't go with her hair colour, so she'll wait for me to wear out something that would suit her better... Her striped top was sewn by my mum in the 1960s.)
Sometimes, and especially when one is blogging in a foreign language, a blog post may take an unexpected turn before it reaches its end. Like, when one can't think of the name for the upper part of a sock, and has to go searching for it...
Now I want to know if all of you with English as your first language would have been able to name all seven parts of a sock correctly??
I would not have known instep or ankle. You really inherited your sewing talent from your Mom. The little sweater is just adorable. The shadow art really IS art with the beautiful pink background!
ReplyDeleteThanky for the update on Barbie and Skipper, Monica! The new magenta sweater looks really cosy and elegant at the same time. Maybe by Christmas Skipper will also have a new woolly sweater?
