I wanted to make a nice neutral tunic top, so of course, I went over the top with the details. As I was cutting it out I was wondering if I should have made a different neckline, but I really like how cozy this is with the funnel cowl on it. Details: Pattern used for […]
I am going to add yet another weekly post (OOTD being at the beginning, so not sure how weekly it will end up being). Several years back when I was largely into photography there used to be weekly and annual prompts people would follow to give themselves a creative impetus to go out and take […]
Here we are at the beginning of another year! They seem to be going by faster the older I get. Time sure has sped up the last few years. It is hard to believe that I have a teenager and almost a teenager, and that hubs and I will be celebrating 20 years wed this […]
In the interest of cleaning up some old posts in my blog, I bring you a pattern test that got dropped this summer. It fit some of the ladies, but overall it was hard to get it right. It wasn’t the easiest pattern to make with all those gathers in knit materials. I wasn’t sure […]
Was it just me, or did 2017 just fly by like a bat out of hell? Our 2017 started out with our son puking all over the place, and it is ending with my Grandma Jo breaking her other arm and my girl needing knee surgery for a meniscus tear. Throw in several funerals, and […]

Generally, I buy myself something nice and say “Thanks for the present!” So…exciting. Here is the week of Me Mades, which included […]
I was doing really well with doing those monthly wrap ups, and then got all behind! Because I got busy! So, here is what I finished for August, September, October and November. These are most of them, anyways. Might be missing a few. August: September: October: November: Whew! As of the end of November, I […]
On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]
Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year. Nope! The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]
