Well, it was a Tuesday and I was tired…so I decided to brighten up my day with a bit of red. Being tired has been pretty much par for the course lately. I’ve been feeling a bit down, and that is not helping. Nothing like being on the edge of tears all the time because […]

This was my outfit for Halloween. I don’t really have any orange in my closet. I held off buying a pair of orange booties that were on sale at Target the day before. They were around $20 and the only time I could feasibly see them being worn was on Halloween. No wonder there were so […]

Ottobre S.W.A.P. for the little man
By Stacy on October 29, 2012The S.W.A.P. for the Boy is finally done! I still have several things I need to make for him, but I wanted to make sure these fit him first. There are actually a few other Ottobre pants I would like to make for him, so I need to get them traced while I’m still in “Ottobre-pain-in-the-arse” […]

Fall trees outfit
By Stacy on October 23, 2012You have already seen pictures of this one, but I thought I would describe it a bit… The top is made from organic cotton jersey from Spoonflower. This one printed pretty true to my design, so I was happy about that. It is so nice and soft, too! This will be a great shirt for […]
This post is all about the hair. The outfit was uninspired as it was a Monday and I got up at 6am to exercise. This is based on one of Hair Romance’s hairstyles. My twists have to be folded over a bit, since my hair is so long. I did it right after I got […]
On my lunch hours I like to run all my errands. I am lucky to have shopping available close by, which includes a mall and a fabric store. The ladies in the fabric store all say “Hi!” to me when I walk in. Yep, they know me! I wore this on one of those errands […]
A few weeks ago we drove back to my home state for some pumpkin picking at at neighborhood party. I love going back there, since I grew up with some great people. It is wonderful to be able to see them again. The drive was so pretty, too. The leaves were turning colors and are […]
The last week of Project Run and Play is sewing a signature style. This was tough to figure out. What is my signature style?? First, I was thinking of what I don’t like to make. I don’t like using patterns that EVERYONE seems to be using (i.e. peasant dresses or anything Farbenmix). I want something […]
I have heard tell that neon’s are back in vogue. I remember the neon’s of my youth. I grew up in the 80’s, and neons were all the rage. I remember I made a blazer with a ton of neon colors when I was in 7th grade. I wore it all the time and basically […]
Just a touch…not much, but just a touch. I love it when you can find a piece of clothing that you know you will wear a ton. This shirt is one of them. It has a pleather yoke and sleeves, with an exposed zipper in the back. I got it at JC Penny last week, […]
