raising willow… and dexter!

Jade green maxi dress from Suzanne Grae, new.
Layered Jag silver necklace.
Brown Novo thongs, new.

Work, in this bloody heat. Attended to two clients in crisis.

Currently wearing nightie that my mother hand smocked. It is quite simple, two rectangles of cotton voile, the top edge of one is smocked. She used satin binding to trim the edges and make shoulder ties. It’s not elegant and it wouldn’t win any design awards. She sewed the whole thing by hand. Tiny stitches along the neck binding, larger running stitches down the side seams. Knowing her she’d got impatient by then. In fact, she had a habit of starting things and not finishing them, so I should count myself lucky to have it at all.
