I didn’t get much sewing in this weekend, as I was pretty far behind on housework (i.e. Mount Laundry). I also had a photoshoot downtown on Sunday and had to edit pictures from a shoot the previous weekend. I have mostly decided to only take a few shoots on a year, and after those fill […]

This summer our friends adopted a little boy, and I was so happy to hear it. I took pictures of their blessing ceremony a few years ago, and I know they will make wonderful parents. As usual, I’m nothing if not timely in making presents. This only took me a few months to get around […]
This weekend was time for our annual trek to the faire. I was a beautiful, chilly and overcast day. Usually those days are when it isn’t so packed, but this day it was definitely packed. We got there around 10:30 and stayed until almost 6pm (closing time). Our friends from Madison came up and stayed overnight […]
This is the last of the full outfits for Anya. I may have more forthcoming, but I should sew something for Kailan and then maybe me. This first outfit is a flowerly camo knit with lycra. The green is just a regular cotton knit. The place where I buy fabric has a bit limited lycra selection. […]
Note to self: Next time make her brush her hair before taking pictures. Next in the sewing parade is a few more outfits that I was trying to use unusual and fun fabrics to make them more…FUN. This is due to the “no dresses or ruffles” policy that has been instituted by the small blonde […]

The pants are made from a stretch twill with burgundy taffeta used for the flower appliques. I made the […]
For the last several years, I take the week of Labor Day off of work and hunker down and make the kids’ winter wardrobes. Labor Day means the opposite for me, than for everyone else. Apparently. This year is no exception, and I will begin to create clothes to garb our offspring. Kailan will need […]
Due to a busy week/weekend, I didn’t get any sewing done. BUT I did sew this a few weeks back, so I have something to show today. I wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out, but it is mostly due to the fabric. It is a “bunchy” fabric, so it tends to add weight on […]
Firefly lingo – Shiny=Good I finally got a chance to sew this weekend, since it was so flippin hot and humid outside that I sequestered myself in the cool basement. This fabric has been sitting around for a few years, so I decided to make a skirt out of it. At first I thought I […]
