gypsy rose...
...that's the name I'd give the first ruffle skirt I put together for this fall season. Come to think of it, I'd probably want to give most of my skirts this name; I think I try to capture the mood behind these two words every time I'm combining fabrics together to make up a skirt...Hmmm....perhaps, these photos can explain it all a bit better -
(Did I make myself clear?!....)
By the way, thank you for all your enthusiastic comments regarding the crochet flowers in my last post; I will post the pattern for the flowers as soon as I have a moment... I thought I would have done it by now, but I've been too busy preparing for the Trout Lake Farmer's Market tomorrow where I will be selling my little creations - 'Hope to see some of you there tomorrow -- it's supposed to be a gorgeous day!
Perfect name for these charming fall skirts. Too bad my girls are not little anymore. Clarice

Beautiful photos, skirts and blog. It seems we have a few things in common; our growing stash of fabrics, love of matryoshka and Vancouver. i passed by your table at the market on Sunday but didn't have time to check things out as my toddler was off shopping with his wagon. Fortunately i picked up your card/magnet which has led me here. Lovely.

Hi Beata!
How did it go on the farmers market? I hope it was a huge success! I am shure you have sold out everything by now :) Yes, i just love everything that you make and i really wanted to tell you how much you inspire me. Remember your last crochet work? The small beautiful flowers? Well, i fell in love with them immediately, and yesterday i tried and tried, and guess, suddenly i had made one! I am not good in reading tutorial, though i have found a few good ones out there. However, i have made my own, written it down, and now i have made 10 of them! I just have to attach them together. I mean, the small, the medium sized flowers and the big ones. I will soon show you :) Yes, i think it is great, and yes, it is very addictive! Friday i will go to the local market and buy differenct colours of woll. :)
I so love you new gypsy rose! This is your ever first ruffle skirt? The colours are so fun! I have not figured out yeet have i make a ruffle. I really want to make a ruffled cushion and i got inspirated by Posy. She has made a few very beautiful ones with fabric from Greengate, you know Greengate don`t you ?

I think you are a very good photographer as well, a very good one!
Hey, i wonder, are you going to make those gingerbread man this year? For christmas? I thought they was the most fun thing i had ever seen! Well, i hope your days are fun, take care! Aina (",)

I come here when ever I need a color rush. You are truly the finest source for color inspiration that I know of. Your eye for color is astounding!

that is the cutest skirt ... I wonder how an over weight, older person would look in it? (and the photos are very lovely)
