Lilac Tree

My lilac tree has bloomed this year for the first time. I already planted it like 4 years ago, so I don't know if this is normal or not.

We are also having some long awaited Summer weather, and I decided to sit in the garden and finish my Kasia skirt, and get some rays.

I love this pattern. I originally made it with the front flap , but found that it added too much bulk in the tummy area. So I ripped it up, took off the front piece and reattached the front without the flap. I also took off the waistband, and turned it around, putting the zip in the back.

I much prefer it without the extra front fabric. its a little too big for me, I plan to make it in a smaller size next with denim fabric maybe. Hopefully second time around there will be no mistakes. Practice makes perfect, as they say.

Mazy was there too eating my old flower pots, what would i do without her!!!
