Sunday, Frocktober the 20th! Sunday best.

Today I went to church and then spent the rest of the day doing chores!
I have to admit, I changed out of my dress and into some daggy clothes to do chores.  I was on my hands and knees gardening!
It was overcast so we could take photos in our courtyard.  This is our lemon tree!
Oh and this dress is from Review.  I bought this to be my “going away outfit”, when I got married, but our “going away” was much more relaxed and a pretty dress like this wasn’t necessary!
A pretty dress anyhow!
And you get five pictures today!  I think tomorrow I won’t feel like it as much since I have to get up at early o’clock!

Friday, Frocktober the 18th! Day off.

Today I wore a dress I don’t like very much, even though it’s pretty.  I bought it from Modcloth about a year ago and it was just way too big on me.  I put elastic in the waist and put a pleat right through the back to bring it in.  It’s still not a great fit though, and somehow it’s super itchy?  I don’t know.  The things I do for you.
Friday is my day off, and I was pretty tired today.  I managed to finish one of my sewing projects!  I’ll wear it another day for you 🙂
Good news – I’ve broken $200 in my Frocktober fundraising!  I’d still love to make some more money for this lovely cause though – please donate!

Thursday, Frocktober the 17th! Windy day.

Today was an extremely windy day. I got home and heard that there were bushfires all over NSW.  Wind is bad news in summer.
And this dress is called the Fireside Glow dress, and it’s from Modcloth.  Now I feel a bit bad about that name. 
So I present one of the derpiest pictures of me ever taken:
(It was a self-portrait and I didn’t want to wait another 12 seconds to take another).
Today I taught some high school boys and then I ate sausages for dinner.  Yum.

Wednesday, Frocktober the 16th! Luck be a lady.

Good afternoon!  Today I’m wearing the original Luck Be A Lady dress from Modcloth.  A total favourite!  Have you noticed that I’ve been wearing naught but my Luck Be A Lady dresses the past three days?  I forget how to wear my other dresses because they’re so comfortable!  I have 7 of them, so we’re not even halfway through my stash…
 Today was spent (drumroll) teaching percussion again!  Like every day monday – thursday!  Tonight I have my clothing production class (soon!) so I’d better go get my stuff together!  We’re making skirts from commercial patterns right now…
