Boardwalk Jersey, a sneak peek

Square, Cut and Sewn
On Tuesday morning, I put the kettle on for a cup of tea, looked out to the yard and thought "I'll just go out and pick up some of the toys on the lawn while I'm waiting".  I walked out in my ugg boots stepped down the back deck steps (there are only 2 thank goodness) and slipped on the ice and landed on the corner of the step, on my arse.  No hands. Lucky probably, because the last time I used my hand to save my arse I broke my wrist.  Mmm. So now, cultivating a pretty good bruise and very very sore, I've taken it easy for a couple of days at home.  I have been doing a tiny bit of sewing, with difficulty and not very much of it, but I managed to finish the Square, Cut and Sewn top from 'She as Mannish Style" I started on Monday night.
Square, cut and sewn
I'll do some better 'in situ' shots when I can, because this top deserves it.  It is one great top!!  Just wait til you see it on.

    Oh, no fun. It took me weeks for my behind to recover from my fall when I was trying to teach my daughter to jump on roller skates...hope you recover more quickly than I did.


    The shirt looks very "you"...as we will see when you model it for us!

    Thanks Suzy. The funny thing is that this is the second time I've bought the exact same buttons.

    Thanks Katherine. Aaah yes, the old roller skate injury! Exactly how I broke my wrist last year trying to save my behind trying to show the boys how good I was on the skates. Total fail! :)

    oh no!!!! My thoughts are with your poor arse. I'm sorry to hear you had a spill, it's always a bit of a scary shock taking a tumble.


    I bloody love this nautical beauty, can't wait to see more.
