Windproof Hat and patchwork breeks - perfect for Orkney!!
Posted: Thursday, 22 February 2007 |
Folk think I'm Amish. I'm not Amish: I'm desparate. Desparate to keep the wind out of my ears - and my hair out of my eyes all while keeping the hat on my head - rather then blown off to Norway. I love hats - but hats don't seem to work well in Orkney. I couldn't imagine life without hats so here is the solution I found:
We could call it, "Little House On The...Island."
I have a whole variety of bonnets in all sorts of prints and colors. I just LOVE them! They are old-fashioned but who cares! (Hmmm. I look a bit cheeky in this photo. I was trying to take a picture of myself which isn't easy!!)
I just received some patchwork jeans sewn by an American lady in Colorado. I love color and having pannels of patchwork in my "breeks" really works for me:
These are the "Earthy Tone" breeks. The seamstress did a really good job with the patchwork! I'll toss up some more pictures of the three other pairs of breeks when we have some good weather. (In this photo the breeks are not quite finished yet - but you get the point!)

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
