Coco was in my eyes a elegant, smart lady - she loved black and pearls and really had an eye for a classy "look" I have always loved Chanel designs and wish I could afford more then my knock off bag .. oh well maybe someday! so while watching the film for the second time I got to work on this:
NINA CHANEL
I love it so much and I hope to wear it to the Knitting and Stitching Show in the RDS in Dublin on Friday, I am getting so excited about this show and plan on buying ALOT ;)
Also I finally got round to taking photos of the Christmas poncho I made last year-
What do you guys think?
also I want to share something with you, something that I have kept to myself, something you don't know about me, I hope when I tell you my secret you wont judge me- but I love to have my photo taken .... NAKED, so here I am ... nothing to hide....
as you can tell I am JOKING! he he, I think I am 6 to 9months here! I found some old baby photos last week and thought I would share the next one with you- it is the only photo I have with my Grandfather, Paddy Gill - or as we all called him Pop! he is my Dads father and died very young with cancer- in fact he does not look well in the photo- and he died when I was two - I don't remember him and I wish I could have known him
Pop RIP
As you can see he had a funny sense of humour as he put his unlit cigarette in my mouth as the photo was taken- I also joke that this is the one and only time in my life I ever had a cigarette!!, he was husband to my nanny Bridie, father to 7, grandfather to 26 and would have been a great grandfather to 3
Hope you all have a wonderful week- Thank you again for your lovely comments- x

ReplyDeleteI love the pics of you when you were baby, your grandad looks like a lovely man.

I know nothing about Chanel, but like your black outfit.
ReplyDeleteI like the stripes in the filet poncho. They break it up and add some variation. If it was green, of course, you would have added some clover leaves ;-)
That's probably enough of the Irish stereotype stuff, huh?
ReplyDeleteHi Jacey- cant wait to see your poncho- please let me know when its done- I love how long the poncho is too
ReplyDeleteHi Barb- as always thank you so much for the kind words xx
