oh I didn't think about how the cargo pants would pull up when sitting down, ok I will leave mine as they are then, thanks for the info!

The pattern runs large, so you might want to take that into consideration, and the neckline is a little low.... but it is a great, comfy shirt to wear. I layer mine with a cami or tank top when out in public. You'd probably like it Kathy. Be sure to choose a soft, drapey fabric. Your weather sounds delightful!

Your cargo pants are probably at a better length than mine, as when I sit down, mine pull up at or above the knee.... which looks sort of strange.... to me. Good eye! Yes, I'd called the Magnolia blossom petals a little 'spongy'! Almost ethereal in the right light. Well, I wouldn't want to frighten a lizard enough to jump on me either! I'm just glad the ones we have here don't bite and are not aggressive. Have a good day too!

You are right about the Rachel Comey top. As much as I thought I would 'love' it when I made it, I was not sure.... but the more I wear it, the more I LOVE it! This is actually my wearable muslin and realized I could've gone down probably 2 sizes, or more.... and will do that next time. The neckline is a little low, so when it's worn in public, I layer a cami or tank top underneath.

She is tame and will let you hold her. We ordered this batch from a hatchery and received them as day old baby chicks back in 2009, and my daughter spent a LOT of time handling them when they were young, so all are considered domesticated. We're down to 5 now and when these are gone, this will probably be our last bunch of chickens. I'm ready to not worry about chickens anymore! :)

Yes, I live in South Carolina and I've enjoyed meeting you through Me-Made-May this year too! I love your handmade outfits and you have inspired me to subscribe to the European Burda magazine. Have a good day!

I'd love to make the Rachel Comey top but I'm not sure I'd like the looseness of it. Maybe one day I'll try a toile. Lovely to see your garden and animal life. Our weather is getting chillier as yours gets warmer.

Such an interesting read, thanks for sharing, Lisa.
Love how you paired your pretty blouse with cargo pants. I have a longer pair of cargo pants sort of mid calf and they are a bit too warm for sunny days, maybe I should chop off some length.
Your magnolia flower looks so pretty, I like flowers like these where the petals are a bit spongy? Glad that you have protected the chicken from bullying, maybe that's why she follows you around :)
I'm afraid of lizards, there are lots of them in the gardens and parks where I walk :( I always keep an eye out for them so that we don't frighten each other :)
Have a good day, may the rains come soon!

Beautiful magnolia's and petunias - they steal the show today, I am afraid :). Your garden must be lovely, merging into the landscape around. I miss the country life, I am afraid.

The Rachel Comey top is always wearable - strange, because at first wear, it's hardly love at first sight! Takes a while to get used to the oversized feel.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life beautiful Magnolia. Maybe the chicken is trying to adopt you? Is she tame?

Hello Lisa,
I just read your post. I only wanted to tell you how interesting it is to hear about your life in South Carolina (?). I love plants a lot (animals too but more plants :))and I love to know what's growing now in other places of the world. It's a bit sad that your magnolia trees don't grow here as it gets too cold in winter but we have a different type that also produces beautiful and fragrant blooms.
Enjoy your day inside. Kathrin
