A few more items for mommy

August 5, 2008

I made these a few weekends ago for me.  I didn’t make anything last weekend, because I was very busy doing something I hadn’t planned or wanted to do.  I have a post about that lovely experience set up for Friday.  Curious? 😉

This is pink froofrooness, and that is a non-word.  It describes this skirt well, though.  It has two layers of ruffles at the bottom with lace over the seam on the top ruffle.  This is not a skirt that can be ran in, however.  Walking fast is even a bit of a challenge, but I still love it.

This skirt is another for my business wardrobe.  A similar tube with a gathered layer.  I wore this at the conference last week, and I unfortunately made the waist a bit too small.  I was a bit uncomfortable sitting around in it all day…ah, the price of beauty. 😉

This week I really need to make a baby blanket I have been putting off and then I want to make a bag for my lenses.  I have another committment ceremony I am shooting this weekend.  When you are in the midst of an event it is really hard to drag a big bag with all your lenses with.  I love my J.Jill bag, but it is a bit too big when I’m trying to move through a crowd.  I have an idea for a small bag, and I’ll hopefully have it to share next week. 🙂

  1. Wow, I’m still amazed even though I expect it from you. Can’t wait to see the camera bag. And the pictures from the ceremony.

    (Froofrooness is in my dictionary, btw.)

  2. LOVE LOVE LOVE the pink skirt…with it’s lovely pink froofrooness and all. ALl I know is that I want it 🙂
    Digging your style!!!!

  3. Again, I need to learn how to sew! You offering a retreat for classes yet? 🙂 These are awesome! How cool to have custom clothes for yourself!

  4. The pink skirt is too pretty. That style looks so nice on you. I don’t have much luck with any skirts unless they’re hemline drifts around my ankles. 😉

  7. I like both of the skirts – but esp. the black one. (even with a too small waist, I’d squeeze into it!!)

    I’ve been eyeing (and am in love with!) this bag for my camera gear…so would be really interested in what you can come up with! I just know I wouldn’t have the patience to get a bag accomplished!

  8. Love the pink one! I actually bought a skirt the other day and thought it didn’t look like it would be that hard to make. I really need to jump the gun and just try.
    Are skirts hard to sew?

  10. Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the nice comments. I’ll keep you all posted on my new lens bag. 🙂

  13. Once again – she shoots, she scores! The skirts are awesome and you are so stylish, but I really can’t wait to see the camera bag you come up with.
