In the spring, I received a prize for participating in Skirt Fixation’s Adult Create Contest. I got 4th place, and they selected a very personalized gift for me. A gift certificate to Spoonflower. Perfect! I knew I wanted to create a single design to go on a tunic or dress, so I just needed time […]
Today I am posting the black and white Stylo outfit, which is all Oliver + S patterns (donated by them for the magazine contributors). I used the following patterns: Black and silver stripe top – O & S Sailboat Top Metallic black and white shorts – O & S Sketchbook Short Fur Jacket – O & S Firefly […]
First of all, I was very happy that my friend, Rachel at Nest Full of Eggs, asked me to come along with her on this Stylo project. I love the fashion photography aspect of this little magazine, plus add in the fact that I get to sew up something a bit dressier than normally allowed..well, […]
Well, I can finally talk about being in the current issue of Stylo, since it has released today! Rachel of Nest Full of Eggs was asked to be in this issue, and she asked me to make a look and photograph our girls together for the issue. So…that was my backdoor way into the magazine. […]
When I saw this blue and white fabric in the store, I grabbed it post haste. It is beautiful, had a great hand and a nice stretch to it. It feels like cotton, but it is a bit thicker and has lycra in it. After procuring a few yards of it, I went in search […]
I belong to a group on Facebook for testing patterns, which I am not overly active in. A lot of the patterns are for younger kids, or not something my kids would wear, so I tend to not test. I saw this bag come up, checked it out, and loved the design! The pattern […]
This past weekend I had some time to sew, so I made up a few things for myself. One of these was a shirt that was supposed to be the muslin for another shirt I wanted to make. It didn’t quite happen that way, though, since this didn’t turn out like I wanted. It ended […]
If you saw the image from the football game, then you saw the boys all bundled up and cold. The Boy said his ears were frozen by the end of the game. He tried to put a stocking cap under his helmet, but it was too thick. The helmets have to fit them pretty tight, so […]

Grey days
By Stacy on September 29, 2014We are heading into the lovely grey days of Autumn, where it tends to rain a bit and then snow a bit. Not looking forward to either, especially after the beautiful weekend we had. I took these shots right before it started to rain, and the skies were getting a bit grey. Definitely a Monday morning.
