| Myrtle Dress at the fish market |
Yesterday, I got out of the house and went to visit the international fish market in Tema, Ghana, a waterfront and factory town outside of Accra. I have been to a couple of other markets in other countries and this one was cleaner and less chaotic than most. Although, anyone planning on going should be aware you may be mobbed as soon as you exit your vehicle. It might also be a good idea to know what you want to buy before you get there. This is not a market to casually stroll.

In addition to the fish market, I visited a couple of Korean grocery stores, a German butcher shop and had a very nice lunch at a Korean restaurant. The town felt very relaxing because there is more space between buildings and lacked the close packed feeling of the city.
I wore my the dress I just finished sewing the night before from Sprout Patterns. Sprout Patterns is a new service from Spoonflower. At Sprout Patterns you can select a Spoonflower fabric which is preprinted with the cut and sew pattern. I am wearing the Myrtle Dress from Colette Patterns with my own design
Star Attraction in Mint and Deep Teal.
Today, 1 day only, this
pattern is available for 25% off. Other patterns will be on sale at Sprout Patterns until Thursday, November 26.
Also today, a new Spoonflower contest begins with the theme Family Portraits. My entry is based on animal families of the American southwest. Pictured here are the quail, armadillo, prairie dogs, porcupine and black tailed jack rabbit. This pattern coordinates with others in my Southwest Animals collections.
