How do you spell happiness? C.L.O.T.H.E.S.
Textures. Patterns. Colors.
I am in LOVE with my CLOTHES.๐ป
All (except under garments) are thrift or gifts.
Pick three? ...well.....
These (above) are sleeveless cami's, a wardrobe staple.
These are (mostly) lightweight wool cardigans to go over the matching camisoles...
And this is my altered wool mini dress with layered tights and homemade "leg warmers".
Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without my WOOL.๐
Living in snow country I wear wool all winter long. I make a variety of wool outfits, each stylie and unique. Here are my first handmade wool pants featured in LOH #64 (Gratitude). I recently wrote a post for the Season Hunt Challenge in the Feel Good Community debuting my new #fashiongrit blog with this handmade Wool Onesie pictured below:
For years
folks have been asking me to make them something out of repurposed wool. (One rather pushy woman stopped me during an action packed work day and interrogated me on how I made the outfit I was wearing.) I've finally said yes to special orders and am currently creating my first special order wool pants. (My cat "Cookies" (as in "Cookies 'n' Cream") is helping...)
I see our bodies as our Temples of God
and am very much into exercise, eating well, and dressing with style and flare born of adventure and necessity.
My heart's desire
is to support others in feeling good and being their fullest selves in all ways.

and Celebrating 58 and Feeling Great
OH! And speaking of our Temples of God
my favorite foods are apples and grapefruits; berries and kiwis; sprouted nuts and seeds; cacao nibs; cabbage salads with bleu cheese and hemp seeds; cod liver/sardines/herring and variety salads (with romaine, dinosaur kale, daikon, red cabbage, scallions, garlic, olive and/or sesame oil, and apple cider, or ume plum vinegar); spring roles; nori roles; raw milk, hot chocolate, matcha, green tea and mixed herbal teas with nettles, oat straw, tulsi, chamomile and more.
(and honestly I'd be lying if I didn't say I LOVE potato chips and sour cream, as well as pasta with pesto! I simply try not to have them around if I can avoid it.๐ฌ)
Blessings, love and gratitude to our Ladies of Hive๐บ
and I invite the lovely @clareartista to join us in this wonderful community!๐ป
Oooh, what a glorious post, dear @sima369 !!
It is a joy to read about your passions - and brilliant clothing!! I too have an EPICO passion for clothes, and often repurpose and adjust things: there are markets locally where I live in Italy, with the most wonderful fabrics - often for as little as 50c - and I can fill a rucksack with wools and natural fibres, and change my wardrobe with the cycles of nature :-D
Did you ever follow the work of the beautiful Katwise O'Sullivan and her sweater coats? I am soooo inspired by her!! Here's her website: http://www.katwise.com/ in case you don't know it :-D
I've joined the Ladies of Hive Community - yey! Thank you for the push: I'd seen it before and thought to join! Blessings on your day, radiant soul! xxxx
How fabulous - all those glorious wools and natural fibers you can find! I'd love to visit you in Italy one day!๐

This is what io like a bit personal to get to know the ladies in the community
So again thank you and you got my 100% vote
Good luck in the contest
Your words touch my heart and make it sing!
I've learned from being in the LOH Community for this short time that, whether I win or not, the value is in meeting people, being inspired, having fun, and supporting others in having fun and being successful!!
Thank you for all of that.
I look forward to more happy times in the LOH Community!! You're all creating magical substance for so many and I am inspired by you all!!Thank you so much @brittandjosie!
Shout out to: @kaerpediem, and @elizabethbit who, (unbeknownst to them), taught me the true value of LOH, (I've been meaning to write to you two about my process on my #65 Embarrassing contest entry - more embarrassing stuff, which is why I haven't done it yet haha), and who have given me beautiful support along with @saffisara - thank you, I'm truly grateful๐บ
The Ladies of Hive are fulfilling their goals!!๐๐๐
Wish I had the passion to repurpose my old clothes the just sit in a bag in the spare room hahah
Reading your latest post,
it's clear why you don't have the time to do so!! https://peakd.com/hive-123046/@vibeof100monkeys/sunday-rambles-on-a-day-the-world-is-rising,
Yes, life is busy currently and expensive. This me less money and more work. Need to opt-out of this system but here in England, it's tough too. But I will find a way
