I'm trying to think cold as I struggle with the heat. A cool change is promised for today, but not before it reaches 32 celsius (90F).
On my list of tasks for the day is to make 3 winter coats for the boys to take to Japan. I just can't get motivated to pull out the heavy coat fabrics - as lovely as they are.
This is my yummy, slubby, tweedy coat that I'm currently having a love affair with. I can't wait to get some more wear out of this favourite piece. It has an asymmetrical collar and cuffed sleeves, so a bit of a departure from my usual conservative style. The fabric is a lovely mix of chocolate, grey and taupe - all my favourite winter colours that I seem to live in during the colder months.
I'm clomping around the studio in these today. I figured it was better to wear them in at home, than on the streets of Tokyo.
gorgeous jacket - gorgeous!

it's always funny to read a post like this from the other side of the world...we are hanging on to our nerves here as spring keeps temping us...then we freeze up and there's more snow again.
i would sure love to wrap myself in your yummy, slubby coat right now...sigh...
