Chanel Skirt, Crochet Ponchos and Me... Naked!!

So starting tomorrow I have to go back to work :( oh I could cry! I have to say I did get use to relaxing at home working on my crochet and sewing projects, "A girl could get use to that" while on my week holiday I made two skirts! both very different styles and both very .... Me! you remember my Sew Neen skirt in my LAST POST, After making it I started watching Coco before Chanel and got so inspired!


 Coco was in my eyes a elegant, smart lady - she loved black and pearls and really had an eye for a classy "look" I have always loved Chanel designs and wish I could afford more then my knock off bag .. oh well maybe someday! so while watching the film for the second time I got to work on this:

NINA CHANEL




I love it so much and I hope to wear it to the Knitting and Stitching Show in the RDS in Dublin on Friday, I am getting so excited about this show and plan on buying ALOT ;)
Also I finally got round to taking photos of the Christmas poncho I made last year-




What do you guys think?
also I want to share something with you, something that I have kept to myself, something you don't know about me, I hope when I tell you my secret you wont judge me- but I love to have my photo taken .... NAKED, so here I am ... nothing to hide....
as you can tell I am JOKING! he he, I think I am 6 to 9months here! I found some old baby photos last week and thought I would share the next one with you- it is the only photo I have with my Grandfather, Paddy Gill - or as we all called him Pop! he is my Dads father and died very young with cancer- in fact he does not look well in the photo- and he died when I was two - I don't remember him and I wish I could have known him
Pop RIP
As you can see he had a funny sense of humour as he put his unlit cigarette in my mouth as the photo was taken- I also joke that this is the one and only time in my life I ever had a cigarette!!, he was husband to my nanny Bridie, father to 7, grandfather to 26 and would have been a great grandfather to 3
Hope you all have a wonderful week- Thank you again for your lovely comments- x
