After thinking long and hard about what I wanted to do for the Christmas card this year, I finally figured out what I wanted to do. This, of course, meant I needed some articles of clothing to bring my vision to fruition. This was a dress that I hadn’t worn in a few years. I […]

Me: I made you some cartoon pants! They are pretty cool, huh? Anya: Mommy, that IS NOT a cartoon. Me: So sorry…COMIC book pants. Still cool. She wore them (even though they WERE NOT cartoon pants), albeit grudgingly. When she got home she asked me to make a comic book shirt to go with them. […]
I cut these up a good month ago, and finally got around to making them. He was excited for the “army pants”. He even had a shirt that already matched! I cut these pockets too low, so next time I will have to move them up. The other pants are denim and a stretch twill. […]
Here are a few new skirts I made this past weekend and how I styled them for work. ******* I haven’t been sewing too much lately (or fashion blogging, obviously). I have just been too busy with work, working out, and raising my kids. Life just is so busy these days. It seems to be […]
I didn’t get much sewing in this weekend, as I was pretty far behind on housework (i.e. Mount Laundry). I also had a photoshoot downtown on Sunday and had to edit pictures from a shoot the previous weekend. I have mostly decided to only take a few shoots on a year, and after those fill […]
This summer our friends adopted a little boy, and I was so happy to hear it. I took pictures of their blessing ceremony a few years ago, and I know they will make wonderful parents. As usual, I’m nothing if not timely in making presents. This only took me a few months to get around […]
This weekend was time for our annual trek to the faire. I was a beautiful, chilly and overcast day. Usually those days are when it isn’t so packed, but this day it was definitely packed. We got there around 10:30 and stayed until almost 6pm (closing time). Our friends from Madison came up and stayed overnight […]
Last Spring I bought a few boots on sale, which I tend to look for boot deals from early Spring to Summer. I love me some boots, but don’t want to spend a fortune. I acquired these new boots from 6pm.com: The Type Z boots are SUPER high. They are also plasticy and have no […]
This is the last of the full outfits for Anya. I may have more forthcoming, but I should sew something for Kailan and then maybe me. This first outfit is a flowerly camo knit with lycra. The green is just a regular cotton knit. The place where I buy fabric has a bit limited lycra selection. […]
Note to self: Next time make her brush her hair before taking pictures. Next in the sewing parade is a few more outfits that I was trying to use unusual and fun fabrics to make them more…FUN. This is due to the “no dresses or ruffles” policy that has been instituted by the small blonde […]
