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 […]

#MakeNine Challenge – Ponte and Pleather skirt
By Stacy on January 31, 2018
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 […]
My accomplishments this week I really didn’t get much done this week…I was sick all week, so I was just getting things done that I needed to get off my plate. I did sew a bit…I wanted to stay away from everyone and not get them sick, too. Focus Photo – Just because I loved […]

Military inspired hoodie
By Stacy on January 16, 2018
I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
I’m on a roll! I work on my Focus post in the beginning of the week, and it helps me to plan on what I want to get done during the week. I edit as I go for what I accomplish (or don’t as it may be!), and it is actually helping me stay on […]
