The kids did a bit of artwork this morning (school holidays) and K handed me this little rose watercolour. It reminded me of this small coat that I included in my shop update this morning: I used handwoven wool in a kind of tweedy mauve shade with little flecks of cream. I only had a small piece, big enough for a coat in size 1. To line it, I used this Vita fabric in the scaled-down print. It seemed to want to be paired up with the purple wool. Fair enough. 

In other news, I came across this amazing Korean door-building today. The most beautiful and colourful piece of recycling, don't you think?

    That jacket is adorable. If only we lived in a climate that would allow wool!
