bon week-end ♥

On Sunday I went on a walk to do some errands...

These beautiful ornamental pear trees are blooming all over the city.  I love them!  So pretty!

...including picking up macarons...

chocolate, french riviera, and strawberry thyme

and then I came home and sewed for the rest of the day.

Except when I was taking breaks to nibble the macarons.

one of my errands was getting that yarn!  yarn-getting errands are ok with me.
also, the chocolate macaron was delicious.  the strawberry thyme one was, too.
the french riviera one?  not so much.  although to be fair, I'm not sure what it was supposed to taste like because I bought it strictly based on prettiness.

And this morning in my senior collection class, I got to see the results of my weekend-of-sewing.

including the two back panels (already finished), the bodice of this dress has 60 rows of fluting.

This was the single most time-consuming element of my entire senior collection, so progress should be much quicker now!  Yay!

I hope your week started off well too, and that you have a lovely Monday evening!

fill-in-the-blank saturday

via the little things we do

1. My favorite color is either a pale, peachy-pink, light blue, pale grey, deep brown...I like a lot of colors.

2. My home decor color palette includes a lot of eggshell, because I live in a dorm room and that's the color the walls are painted.  But I like it, it's a good base.  In general, there's a lot of pink happening in my room, too, and I have a big round blue chair.  The recent addition of my Oh To Dream bedding has added a lovely pale grey, too.  

3. Other people always tell me I look good in the color red-- I'm really, really pale, so red makes me look all pink-cheeked and cute instead of my usual glow-in-the-dark hue.

4. The color I detest is greenish-brown.  I love brown when it's deep and reddish, like a chestnut or cherry wood, but greenish-brown is not a pretty color to me.

5. If you were to look in my closet, you would see mostly pastels, neutrals like cream and fawn brown, and black.  

6. A color that I simply cannot pull off no matter how hard I try is orange.  Well, actually, I don't know, maybe I look lovely in orange, but the world will never know because I just can't bring myself to buy anything orange.  It just seems like such a loud color, and I'm a bit more quiet.

7. The color of my favorite dress is eeeek, I can't choose my favorite dress, I love them all!  Especially because I wear dresses almost exclusively.

Hope you're having a great weekend!  I'm having a lovely one-- I'm off to the post office to ship Etsy orders, then back home to continue my never-ending marathon of sewing and Netflix-watching.  (I'm watching Dr. Who at the moment!  Anyone else watch it?  Or have any recommendations for what to watch next?)
