It is finally showing us some summer-like weather. We still need sweaters for the office, though. Oh how I hate cold summertime offices! This was a typical Monday morning. Something easy to wear that I have worn before. Getting the kids ready seems to take most of the time in the morning. They were at […]
Category: Stuff I made
Here is a dress I made during the sewing retreat and promptly put it on the next morning before climbing in the car for the drive home. It is so very comfy, and this is me sans shower. I was going to go home and get a workout in at least once that week…since it […]
This is an outfit I made during a sewing retreat for an online board that I frequent. In the past I have gotten to meet ladies that I conversed with in online forums. It doesn’t really bother me that I was going to meet a group of “strangers”, as I had already been getting to […]
Oh, I jest…sort of. This was one of the few nice warmish/hotish days we have had so far this summer. The subsequent days are supposed to be in the 70’s. Yuck! I want heat! We earned warmth after last winter! It has been decidedly cool, so I am usually wearing a sweater of some sort […]
I seem to be on a roll! Well, if it is a roll that takes a lot of time, that is. These purses definitely are not for the faint of heart, and they take me a good 6-8 hours to make. A bit of hand sewing and piece work is required. I love how this […]
You know if I could just get up earlier, I could get a few outfit pictures in the morning. But, NO. Sleep. I love sleep. 🙂 So…I do have something to show. A half-hearted picture of an outfit, but also…New Purse! That I made! I love how this one turned out. I upcycled an old […]
This was my last day at work before taking a week and a half off over the holidays. “Off” being relative, as I still had to go in to work on one of the days before year-end. Being an accountant is TONS of fun near year-end and quarter-ends. The 4th of July is at quarter-end, […]
Why, oh why, must pretty new shoes hurt the foots?? I really do like the look of these shoes, but I need to figure out how to wear them so they don’t instantly blister my feet. This is the problem of ordering online from a store that won’t let you return anything (Zulily). I wouldn’t […]
Obviously, not one of those “get real dressed up!” office parties. We used to have them when we had the “fun” guy running the office. They were at night and our spouses were invited. We had one party at an airplane museum, one at a swanky french restaurant, one at another swanky restaurant with a […]
I love Pinterest. It gives you so many ideas for crafty things to do! I have seen several shoe remakes on the site, so I thought I would give it a shot with a pair of plain black shoes that I own. I used a silver sharpie and went to town on them while watching […]
