All is most definitely chilled in Cornwall….except the breeze….how wonderful to be somewhere where there’s been a strong breeze that’s gorgeously warm! Not quite so good for running against mind you, and I’ve surpassed myself in the running vs lazy stakes managing to drag myself out for a run taking in the coast every day…overindulgence is a great motivator! But so is having somewhere breath-taking to run to.
Here are some holiday snaps showing how my handmade holiday wardrobe is faring….
Day 2:
My sundress was just the job as it was a belter of a day…..some of which spent stewarding the local artist’ society annual exhibition, in which my mum is exhibiting ….see the moon painting in the background?
Day 3:
Wearing my 50s high waisted shorts and my kimono tee shirt with birdies on it. Love the coastline and ran a small one along here taking in the views to Porth.
Day 4:
On my favourite Crantock beach to catch the day’s sunny morning, crazy horn pipe anyone? Just to prove that I wore my Japanese pattern jacket, new stripy tshirt and “miss Ellie” portfolio trousers ( not perfect fits btw, there is a 2″ wad taken out of the waist with a safety pin…..don’t tell anyone!)
Day 5:
Ha ha! I fulfilled my wish to wade in the surf in my long flowing maxi skirt, worn with a new sozo strappy vest. My thinking on the skirt? It’s practical, but as Allison said, a sundress would be a more scruffatastic make with such deserving fabric, so I have a feeling it is only temporarily in this form!
So just about to head out to run along some beaches whilst it’s low tide. Hope you’re all enjoying A great week too 
Now back on dry land & have added links to the posts for all these makes…way too longwinded on the move, sorry 
Lovely photos, looks like you’re having a great time
All your clothes look fab, but I like the sun dress in particular.
Wonderful Winnie, wonderful!!! I actually love your maxi skirt swishing in the ocean, but I’m sure it’ll look gorgeous as a dress too! I also feel I must apologise that you ended up with odd yardage for the lovely fabric, I feel my number skills really let you down in Birmingham!
What a great post!
I loved seing all the pics and am feeling inspired…. Let’s see. What is next. What about a me-made Christmas Break? (tons of sweaters and woolen socks):-)
Very “Pirates of Penzance” in the beach shots, there. See how easy packing can be, when every piece can be worn with every other piece? I am making up a list of reversibles to sew for our big trip, come Christmastime, when we roll down the coast to Florida to visit my brother. I hope to put a week’s worth of wearing into one tiny suitcase, minus sweater and/or coat. (Yes, he has laundry facilities.) Tell yer Ma for me, “Lovely painting of the moon! Now I understand where your daughter gets her talent.”
Any possibility of seeing Doc Martin? He is very popular in the US with the public TV crowd. I guess Cornwall is beautiful with him or without him. Thanks for the photos.
What gorgeous photos! I must say, your me-mades are perfectly suited for vacay!
Scrufftastic Awesomenessification!
You look amazing in everything, and I do hope you’re having a fabbydoo time.
Your mother’s painting is stunning! I see that creativity runs in the family.
I hope you are enjoying all the good times, you seem very funny! My compliments to your mother for her painting and you for your creativity!
Thank you Rosy…she’ll be thrilled at the compliment
