hard worn

I took a lot of pictures on the beach the last day with my mother, and some of them fall into my hard wear category. These are the steps going over the dunes and down to the beach. The texture enchants me. I thought I wanted a medium gray for the embroidery, but when I realized I don't have any I stared at all my colors again and chose this really light purple. I like it a lot. I love this beach. I badger my Mum and kids to go every time we visit. They laugh at me, but they go too. And we always have a good time.

I have been working on a costume for Serenity out of stretchy dark red lycra material covered with gitter dots. I pulled the pattern off a costume she has that fits. I finished the first iteration of the costume yesterday, but when she tried it on this morning, it was too short - my model has more vertical stretch than the red stuff, so I stretched the pattern vertically, and I hope it fits because I pretty much finished off the fabric. She seemed unworried about it - insisted that is why she bought extra - but I feel bad.  This stuff sheds the glitter and odd bits of fluff everywhere, it will be nice to be finished with it.
