It only took about an hour to re-engineer my Peony to fix some of the fit problems I had. It’s still not 100% perfect but I’m happier with it and happy enough with the fit.
Jeez it was cold taking these photos! -1’c! Which I know for some of you guys is warm, but we’d had quite a balmy (for February) weekend with temps of about 8’c so this was a little bit of a shock.
And I thought I’d show you the mess we’re making in the back garden at the moment. Husband is in the process of dismantling the old conservatory and we hope to build a garden room across the back this summer. He scared the living daylights out of me when there was an almighty crash and a large lump of roof hit the deck along with the ladder. Thankfully he was fine although as he took it to pieces we realised just how badly it had been built and that standing on the roof really wasn’t a good idea as there wasn’t much attaching it to the house!
PS. Don’t forget the give away of Wendy’s Travelling Pattern Stash!

Ah, falling bits of house…I know how that one works. My husband shouldn’t be let loose with tools! Love the dress…looks good! And loving the warmer weather.
He’s sulking a bit as we have a very busy weekend coming up and he’s trying to work out when he’s going to be able to demolish the walls!
Great dress and fit! It really suits you well.
My husband isn’t handy. But he has become an expert at putting together IKEA furniture.
Isn’t IKEA furniture assembly a bit of an art form in its self?! I hear bad things about it but haven’t experienced it as the nearest one is miles away!
Super cute re-engineering. You look sweet. Awesome shoes too!!
Good luck with your garden room!
Thank you! We have such plans…
Great fix AND I love your shoes!
And I’ve just noticed you are smiling!
See, I can do it!
And it’s gorgeous!
Thanks Lizzy! They’re my work shoes and I will reheel and resole them untill the cobbler tells me they’re beyond redemption. I’ve been wearing them over two years already! Best £40 ever!
I just spent $30 getting my fave boots re-heeled and soled… might make it to the meet-up (weather depending) but you wont’ be there. *sob* you shall be a drunk hen somewhere… having a blast! LOL
I doubt drunk! I’m driving! There must be some fabric shops in Cambridge though?!
Consider it your mission!
ha – i was thinking EXACTLY what lizzy said above! dress looks fab, shoes are great and your smile is lovely 🙂
Thank you sweetie! I always feel a bit goofy when I smile which is why grumpy face is much more prevalent on the blog!
Love it! You look beautiful – it’s great to see your lovely smile ^_^
Aww, thanks darling!
This looks great! Way to nail the fit! I love the photos!
Fit perfect.. Great dress darling
Thanks Rachel!
