Anya decided that she finally wanted to learn how to sew. I asked her what she wanted to make and she said bike shorts and a top and then a skort and a top. I told her we would start with the bike shorts and go from there. Bike shorts are pretty easy, with just […]

This would be another shirt that I have made. I used ruffle fabric where it is pre-ruffled. Not the most flattering, so I will need to figure out a better way to wear it. All those ruffles add a bit of width. Oh, and it was crazy warm and humid this morning, so my […]
Oh, how I am ready for the weekend! This week we have had contractors at our house to replace our driveway with a new poured and stamped concrete one. We needed to replace it when we moved in 9 years ago and it has just gotten worse each year. They tore it out on Monday […]
Last night it was time for a fresh dye job. I use Natural Instincts Light Auburn temporary dye…3 boxes of it. I started using the temporary dye probably around 10 years ago. By this time, it doesn’t really wash out since I have dyed it so many times. My roots get a bit visible, but […]
I made this outfit in the past week. As in…I made the top last night and couldn’t wait to wear it! The pants were try #2 on a new pattern I drafted. Try #1 consisted of a lovely black linen that resulted in a less than flattering pair of summer pants. You win some, you […]
My children are getting terribly neglected, aren’t they? Well, Anya won’t wear some of the many things that she has in her closet, so I ask you…why should I make more? Kai on the other hand doesn’t much care what he wears, and rarely matches. He’s happy with athletic shorts and t-shirts, so that is […]
Well, the clothes I am wearing ON TOP were purchased, but I am wearing a slip I did a little sewing on. I have several skirts that are a bit see through (this being one of them), so I wanted a fitted nude slip. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Most that I saw had panties […]
This was another maxi skirt/top outfit that I made. It is soooooo comfy. Lovely soft knits, and it is just like wearing pajamas to work. I wore this a few weeks back and didn’t really like the pictures, so I didn’t post them. I thought I looked too fat in them. I think I have […]
I have been trying to delve into my closet to wear things that I don’t usually wear. They take up space in the closet, so I should wear them, right?? Well, the first outfit I put on today was thwarted by the fact that I have gained a few pounds in the last few months, […]
I love this skirt, but it is hard to pair it up for work outfits. I decided to just cover a bit of it with my knit vest. I added a little more edge with my eye makeup, though. A little edge is A-Okay. Working in an office that gives me a bit of leeway […]
