This was my last day at work before taking a week and a half off over the holidays. “Off” being relative, as I still had to go in to work on one of the days before year-end. Being an accountant is TONS of fun near year-end and quarter-ends. The 4th of July is at quarter-end, […]

I did not get much done in the way of sewing during my almost 2 weeks off at the end of the year. I got one outfit completed for the Boy, and then I spent about 4 hours with a friend sewing her daughter 2 outfits for her American Girl doll and matching jammies for […]
You know how you have shoes that get limited use, are very uncomfortable, but you still keep? Oh, just me?? These boots fell into that category. I usually wear them once per winter. They are not the best boots, but they match a few things and since they were in my closet…I felt like I […]
I was supposed to have a lunch meeting this day, so I got all spiffy dressed up. The lunch got cancelled, unfortunately. My outfit was basically black and grey with some stripes thrown in for good measure. The top is really floaty, and very comfy. I also wore really tall, plasticy boots. They make lovely noises when I […]
Why, oh why, must pretty new shoes hurt the foots?? I really do like the look of these shoes, but I need to figure out how to wear them so they don’t instantly blister my feet. This is the problem of ordering online from a store that won’t let you return anything (Zulily). I wouldn’t […]
Winter leotards and movin’ on up in gymnastics
By Stacy onThe colder weather has come to the Northwoods, so sending Little Miss into the big ole warehouse facility at gymnastics can be a bit chilly for her. I bought some dancewear velour (thick, 4-way stretch velour and *SHINY*) during my summer shopping excursion up to the northern suburbs. It is again…expensive…fabric. I bought just enough to […]
Obviously, not one of those “get real dressed up!” office parties. We used to have them when we had the “fun” guy running the office. They were at night and our spouses were invited. We had one party at an airplane museum, one at a swanky french restaurant, one at another swanky restaurant with a […]
As I didn’t want to change out my purse, which was currently brown…I needed something brown to wear. Apparently, I really liked the yellow tones, since my pictures are exceedingly yellow. Sorry, I was mass processing pictures, and apparently not paying enough attention when color correcting. Anywhoo… I based this outfit off of the scarf […]
I love Pinterest. It gives you so many ideas for crafty things to do! I have seen several shoe remakes on the site, so I thought I would give it a shot with a pair of plain black shoes that I own. I used a silver sharpie and went to town on them while watching […]
This was a pretty quick make for the girl. She has already lost two teeth, so I am a bit late. In my defense, the first one she lost was on our trip to Seattle this summer, while we were on a walk. I wasn’t prepared! Her big tooth is on the cusp of coming […]
