Lemon Featherweight Silk Sweater – Coldwater Creek
Silk Skirt – refashioned by me.
Invisible Pumps – The Emperor

This skirt used to be three sizes larger and a foot longer.  sed to be three sizes bigger and ankle length.  Now it fits at the waist and lost about 12 inches from the hem line!  Much better!

Today, I’m wearing my MOST FAVORITE necklace!  I hoarded a stash of large focal beads for the longest time before inspiration came my way, and I strung them up with random copper beads and spacers.  My favorite bead in the group is the carved birdcage bone bead in the front.  Uh, that isn’t, to say, a birdcage bone, since I am pretty sure that cages don’t have bones.  What I mean is a birdcage shaped bead, carved from a piece of bone!
 
Where did the inspiration come from you wonder?  From Mary and her wonderful staff at my favorite bead store, The Artful Bead.

Today, I used this accessory.  Well, not actually used, because it has no purpose other than making me smile, but I did carry it around with me for a while!

  • Scant 1/2 Yard of 45″ wide fabric, your choice

Instructions
  • Cut two strips of fabric, each 5″ wide by the width of the fabric. 
  • Fold under 3/8″ on each long edge; press.
  • Fold each strip in half, aligning the pressed edges; press again.
  • Lay the two strips together, with the folded edge of the first one lined up with the pressed edges of the second.
  • Stitch 1/8″ from each long edge; trim threads.
  • Unfasten one end of your camera strap and thread through the fabric tube you just made. Scrunch the strap cover evenly over the web part of your strap; fold in the selvaged edges.  Refasten camera strap and go!
