I was browsing through Flickr recently and, as usual, got rather lost wandering from one picture to another when I came upon this extremely talented lady called Lucy Curtis. I fell in love with her wonderful dressforms. She owns Corset Laced Mannequin and you can find her blog here.
Let me introduce you to some of my favourites:

Aren't they absolutely charming and beautiful? I would love to own one of them, if only I had the room to put her in... Sigh!....
It is so satisfying sometimes to whip up a couple of quick projects before embarking on something more substantial... Mr Bear and Mr Rabbitt were fun to make with some remnants of my crochet blanket. These two little fellows will soon be adopted by a very dear little boy I know. Whilst I was getting to grips with the art of toy making, my mind was free to plan my next project.
I love Vintage fashion and have always admired the elegance of the Forties but, until now, I was not confident enough to try knitting from a vintage pattern. At last I am taking the plunge and chose this little cardigan to complement my new "Vintage" style dress. I might go even a step further by adding long sleeves...
So far I am loving it and the prospect of having a complete outfit at the end of it will hopefully motivate me...
It might be sunny, Spring might be in the air and the crocus and daffodils might start to make an appearance but there is still frost in the morning and a chill in the air.
So, whilst the washing is drying in the gentle breeze, there is time to snuggle up with my new blanket and a delightful book...
