So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ .  There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer.  I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore ...

WIP - never ending socks and green nails

I'm still working on the never-ending orange socks. Argh!!! It's like I'll never finish them! But actually tonight I can see the end. I only have another inch or less before I get to start the toe decreases. Hopefully I'll have an FO post for them this week! This picture is from a few days ago so it looks like I did better than I thought this week.
Ainda estou labutando nas minhas meias sem fim. Argh! Parece que nunca vou terminá-las! Mas na verdade já estou conseguindo enxergar o final. Só falta menos de 3cm para que eu possa começar a diminuir pra formar a ponta dos dedos. Quem sabe tem um post de FO delas essa semana. Essa foto foi tirada há uns dias atrás e pelo jeito eu progredi mais do que me parece.
Never ending socks

And even though I have taken cosmos off yet, I will finish off with an old green manicure I did a while ago because it is Saint Paddy's day today and even though I didn't (or ever do) anything special to celebrate it, it feels right.
E como ainda não tirei o cosmos dos dedos, vou terminar com uma manicure antiga. Mas como ela é verde e hoje é dia de São Patrício me parece a coisa certa a fazer.

Two coats of High Line Green + one coat of Enchanted Forest + top coat = lovely grassy green.
Duas camadas do NYC High Line Green + uma camada do NYX Girls Enchanted Forest + top coat = verde grama maravilhoso.

It's a beauty, so it is!
Lindo de morrer!

{Jennifer Lauren Handmade} Ivy Pinafore

Until I succumbed to the Cleo fever  a few months ago, I never paid too much attention to pinafores and/or dungaree dresses. To me, they have been synonym with primary school uniforms and, consequently, not something I'd expect to find in the wardrobe of an almost 40-year old woman. I am happy to announce that Cleo completely changed those views, however. I have two of them now (there's a denim version , too) and I wear them a lot. But I wanted to try something a little bit different. Maybe one that looked a little more dress than dungaree? So when I found the  Ivy Pinafore  I couldn't stop thinking about making one for myself. As usual, this pattern had passed me by until I suddenly took notice of it. Why am I always doing this? Anyway, it's such a cute little dress and I am over the moon with how it turned out. The Ivy is a tent dress: more fitted around the bust and then it expands down in an A-line shape. There is a very swingy version and a more...

{Tilly and the Buttons} The Indigo smock dress

When the  Indigo dress came out I wasn't bothered. I had just bought the  I AM Cassiopée  and didn't think I'd need another smock style dress in my life. I wasn't even sure if the shape was for me at that point. I have since made the Cassiopée twice and I wear them a lot. I still wasn't convinced I needed another pattern that was so similar though. But then,  Fabricate  had a party to launch their new shop location and I wanted to attend. Obviously, I'm still on a fabric buying ban until January and couldn't buy any fabric so I bought an Indigo pattern that night instead. I am so in love with this dress!!! How can something so simple look so good? I think the fabric plays a massive part though. Ever since I saw  this chambray version  that Caroline made I have wanted to make a similar one. It just works. My fabric came from  Ray Stitch  when I visited last month. I can't find it on their website but I also can't remember the name so it...
