Not the weather for a picnic.

It seems that just as the weather changed I had a sudden desire to go on a picnic, so while we strap everything down for the gale force winds expected tonight I am longing to go sit in a field and eat food from a basket. Instead I have had to be content with pinning multiple pictures of picnics I wish I was on.

Tennis anyone?

I saw this dress on modcloth today and now I have a sudden desire to make myself a tennis dress, so I whirled around the internet collecting inspiration. This is what I have so far:

I will make mine light blue with white trim. It will have a short pleated skirt and a longer circle skirt that can be buttoned over it. I can't wait. Now I just have to learn to play tennis.
