I finally got a chance to sew on Sunday. Saturday was another busy, busy day, in which we bought a new table. The Thomasville store near us was closing, so we got a great deal on a new kitchen table from there. “Great” being all relative when talking about their prices. 😉 It was probably […]

Probably because I made it. It is one of my favorite creations and I feel so girly when I wear it. It doesn’t allow you to have a long gait, but that is alright. I don’t imagine I will have much opportunity to run in it anyways. 😉 Shirt – CAbi Skirt – Made by […]
I’m not sure what the rationale behind the short-sleeved sweater dresses that are in the stores right now, but it is a bit of an oxymoron. It’s cold, thus a sweater. Shouldn’t said sweater have also LONG sleeves?? I bought a few that were on sale at JC Penny and just know I have to […]
I continue to struggle with getting older. I am, without a doubt, getting older. I have wrinkles. I have loose skin from my pregnancies and stretch marks. I have varicose veins. I struggle to accept that this, right now, is as good as it is going to get. I don’t want that. I want my body […]
Over the holidays when I had time on my hands I went through my wardrobe. Nearly every morning when I had gotten ready for work, I would have my clothes laid out from the night before. Then I would change. Then change again. Then probably…yet again. It is hard enough getting the kids ready and […]
They don’t friggin’ fit me all that well. I spent…oh, a good 4-6 hours making this pretty vest. I even made a muslin to make sure it would fit me well enough. The muslin was too big, so I took in the seams. It ended up too small in the bosom area. The *girls* are […]
This year I had some time to actually get some gifts done. The kids were in school the Monday through Wednesday before Christmas, and I had that time off for vacation. I got some things made for teachers and some things made for them. Lots of things. Aprons for the teachers – which seemed to […]
There are just some outfits that make you feel good. This one made me feel like a pirate with the fitted vest, the sash at the waist and my fun ruffled suede boots. I had my hair braided on the front and it pulled back into a bun. Pink cowl knit shirt – made by […]
During the Thanksgiving holiday I didn’t get chance to get much done at all. Why? Well, I was busy. I took Wednesday off, and we decorated the house for Christmas, as usual. The tree is up and not too many ornaments were broken. I wanted to have a place to put the cards this year, […]
Here I am again…not getting anything off my to-do list. Today Anya is going to a birthday party of another little girlfriend at school. She wanted me to make another dress and again picked out the main fabric for it. I really like how this one turned out. It is a faux cross over top, that […]
