Craft? win some you lose some

The kids are back at school, which means I have a little more time on my hands, which can also mean my  deluded/dangerous approach to craft type things has room to fester.
  In an old house I lived in I thought yellow would be a lovely colour for the living room walls, the yellow I picked was neon and caused an un-natural nuclear glow through the net curtains, the wooden fireplace I spray-painted something that spewed the equivalent of 100's and 1000's all over, it was un-equal, un-even and then  I painted it blue.  I thought it was delightful.

yesterday, I attacked this dress

It didn't fit quite right 

so, despite my lack of knowledge of altering a dress

I did this to it

I kept hoping inspiration would appear

it didn't

it's buggered

my only solution is to buy fabric as near to it as possible

undo it all 

and add extra panels

feck

it didn't deter me

so I hacked an old cardigan

looks fine here

because of my significant rack it rolls up either side of 'the girls'

but I think it will still work with my sleeveless dresses

today, I am doing no craft work

 I did my hair instead

This dress also doesn't quite fit properly

so I threw an old tank top on it

no more destruction!

I sashayed to the sound of hail stones

with my Cookie, in her favourite chair

It's not all bad

here's a turban I knitted

I was going to make a leopard print one ages ago

but there wasn't enough fabric for my colossal head

I hope everyone is well

the storm whispered past us

but I know it has been frightful for others

anyone affected is in my thoughts

see you all soon
