After making these hoodies for myself, the girl wanted something along the same lines. I didn’t go all out with this hoodie, however. I decided to just modify the Foliis pattern I had from Sofilantjes. It was a pretty easy modification. I just cut the back pieces, added a seam allowance and added the pleather/eyelet […]
I have looked at all those super fun bullet journals on Instagram and Pinterest for the past few years, so I decided I wanted to start a journal. They are a blend of tracking your weekly schedule, a to do list, drawing and whatever inspiration you want to put inside one. I started off by […]
This week was all about the house. New floors started going in on Monday, so the house was tore apart by Sunday night to get everything out of the 4 rooms. It was so, so messy. In between the floor guys being in the house, I was painting. Let me tell you, painting with vertigo […]
My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – This week Valentine’s Day landed on Ash Wednesday, when us Catholics are supposed to fast. So…the kids got some pre-Valentine’s Day, aka “Fat Tuesday”, treats. Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was to sew something with hearts. It didn’t get done, and no #makenine […]
So who’s a Vikings fan?? Apparently…we are! Fabric Anthropology is running a Vikings round, and it has some very cool prints. There are a few panels with just phrases, and then panels with some of the characters on it. The coordinates include the battle print below, a print with ships (another blog post will be […]
My accomplishments this week Last week was basically the reason I need this challenge and process to go through each week. Last week was completely UN-focused. It was one of those busy weeks with a few hatchets thrown at us, just to make it interesting. The girl is improving from her meniscus knee surgery…each day […]
I got another of my #makenine challenges completed, and it was this skirt that I have been coveting for several years on Pinterest. I wanted to wear it to work, so that length wasn’t quite going to work for me. I made it longer, but I think I may take the waist off and shave […]
A few years ago I purchased a t-shirt at the store Maurice’s. It was one of those, “I need something new to wear this weekend” purchases, and so I didn’t expect to wear it much. Turns out I wore it A LOT. Sequins always make a shirt better I decided I needed to make a […]
This week I decided to pick up my loom again, and finished this with a few sessions of binge watching Netflix after dinner. I used the pink Knifty Knitter loom that is 9.5″ long on the base. It’s the smallest one. I usually use the green one for my wider cowls that I join […]
Of course, I had to make a hack of this pattern right away. Not that there aren’t a ton of options, but I wanted to copy a sweater that I already owned. It is pretty close to this pattern, only with narrow arms. I also wanted a bit more booty coverage. Base pattern: RuLo top […]
