Oh the grayness that has been in our skies…however, I don’t mind gray when I’m taking photos. I just need to figure out how to take photos before the end of the day and I’m all wrinkly. Unfortunately, getting my daughter out of bed in the morning is like waking a hibernating bear. I just don’t […]

It has been so dreary here the past week or so. Rain, rain…please go away! The ponds are flooded and are new flowers are sitting in inches of water. I hope they survive. At least there is no watering needed. I had to try to stay on dry ground for these photos, so I am […]
Lately I have been buying and then returning. I bought a couple of Spanx slips to wear with a tight dress that I bought at a low weight. Never a good idea…buying something at your low weight. I hope to wear it again, but I know it will be months. At least it was only […]
These light colors are perfect for a Friday in the summertime. Light and airy. I just wish I didn’t look so “fluffy” in this outfit. Note to self: Don’t wear clothes that accentuate your lack of waistline. It doesn’t look good. I have gained a few pounds in the last month or so. When we got […]
We went to the mall as a family to go buy the hubby a trousseau for our travels to Vegas. He doesn’t buy new clothes very often (generally every few years), so the little urchins needed some patience while we shopped. We bribed them with DQ if they were good. Ice cream always works so […]
I bought this sleeveless white shirt this spring from CAbi, and I’m not really sold on it. It isn’t exactly the most flattering of tops. I love the neckline, but the ruching on the stomach makes that area look bigger. Like anyone needs that! The necklace was made for me by an online friend. She […]
This dress appears rather boxy on a hanger, but walking in it makes it come to life. The fabric moves a lot without being overly clingy. It graces your curves and then moves away with the next step. Added plus is that it is super comfy. Dress: Anne Taylor LOFT Jewelry: Silpada Shoes: Unlisted (so […]
I am becoming a dress lover these days. They are so easy to wear and comfortable. Just throw on the dress, a pair of heels and jewelry. Done! This dress I purchased at the Hot Mama store, and luckily it was on sale. It was still pricy, but the dress is pretty flattering to my […]

By Stacy on June 13, 2011I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
I took some time fitting the top to this outfit. Normally when I sew I just kind of make it up as I go. I wanted this to work, though. It still isn’t perfect, but overall the fit works fairly well. I really like this color purple on me. It brings out my coloring. The […]
