I was actually able to get some shots before work this morning. Amazing! Of course, I still had to dress my prone daughter and threaten to take away cartoons if she didn’t start moving…but I had enough time to get some quick pictures. As you can probably see, I have a fairly static number of […]

Oh the grayness that has been in our skies…however, I don’t mind gray when I’m taking photos. I just need to figure out how to take photos before the end of the day and I’m all wrinkly. Unfortunately, getting my daughter out of bed in the morning is like waking a hibernating bear. I just don’t […]
It has been so dreary here the past week or so. Rain, rain…please go away! The ponds are flooded and are new flowers are sitting in inches of water. I hope they survive. At least there is no watering needed. I had to try to stay on dry ground for these photos, so I am […]
These light colors are perfect for a Friday in the summertime. Light and airy. I just wish I didn’t look so “fluffy” in this outfit. Note to self: Don’t wear clothes that accentuate your lack of waistline. It doesn’t look good. I have gained a few pounds in the last month or so. When we got […]
I bought this sleeveless white shirt this spring from CAbi, and I’m not really sold on it. It isn’t exactly the most flattering of tops. I love the neckline, but the ruching on the stomach makes that area look bigger. Like anyone needs that! The necklace was made for me by an online friend. She […]

Added plus is that it is super comfy. Dress: Anne Taylor LOFT Jewelry: Silpada Shoes: Unlisted (so […]
I am becoming a dress lover these days. They are so easy to wear and comfortable. Just throw on the dress, a pair of heels and jewelry. Done! This dress I purchased at the Hot Mama store, and luckily it was on sale. It was still pricy, but the dress is pretty flattering to my […]
I took some time fitting the top to this outfit. Normally when I sew I just kind of make it up as I go. I wanted this to work, though. It still isn’t perfect, but overall the fit works fairly well. I really like this color purple on me. It brings out my coloring. The […]
I will be making many of these skirts for the summertime. My biggest conudrum with summer skirts is not having tights to control my tummy pooch. I gained 40 lbs with each of my kids, so I have a bit of loose skin to contend with. I make these skirts with a double panel of […]
This was a Mother’s Day present to me. I made this on Mother’s Day as I was given many hours of uninterrupted sewing time. This is a dress that I drafted myself. I had to make a few modifications, but in the end I really like how it turned out. It fits my body well, […]
