Is it summer yet?

By on June 24, 2011

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 […]

Natural

By on June 20, 2011

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!

Purple

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 […]

My new favorite skirt

By on May 20, 2011

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 […]
