I continue to struggle with getting older. I am, without a doubt, getting older. I have wrinkles. I have loose skin from my pregnancies and stretch marks. I have varicose veins. I struggle to accept that this, right now, is as good as it is going to get. I don’t want that. I want my body […]
Over the holidays when I had time on my hands I went through my wardrobe. Nearly every morning when I had gotten ready for work, I would have my clothes laid out from the night before. Then I would change. Then change again. Then probably…yet again. It is hard enough getting the kids ready and […]
They don’t friggin’ fit me all that well. I spent…oh, a good 4-6 hours making this pretty vest. I even made a muslin to make sure it would fit me well enough. The muslin was too big, so I took in the seams. It ended up too small in the bosom area. The *girls* are […]
This year I had some time to actually get some gifts done. The kids were in school the Monday through Wednesday before Christmas, and I had that time off for vacation. I got some things made for teachers and some things made for them. Lots of things. Aprons for the teachers – which seemed to […]
There are just some outfits that make you feel good. This one made me feel like a pirate with the fitted vest, the sash at the waist and my fun ruffled suede boots. I had my hair braided on the front and it pulled back into a bun. Pink cowl knit shirt – made by […]
During the Thanksgiving holiday I didn’t get chance to get much done at all. Why? Well, I was busy. I took Wednesday off, and we decorated the house for Christmas, as usual. The tree is up and not too many ornaments were broken. I wanted to have a place to put the cards this year, […]
Here I am again…not getting anything off my to-do list. Today Anya is going to a birthday party of another little girlfriend at school. She wanted me to make another dress and again picked out the main fabric for it. I really like how this one turned out. It is a faux cross over top, that […]
Anya was invited to a birthday party last Friday and I decided to make the little girl a dress. As a general rule, I do not do this. I just don’t know how it will be received and if it will fit and if the parent will think, “ewwww…homemade clothes are so 1950’s!” Anya picked […]
Anya perused my fabric stash and came across this silky, velour-like, shiny blue fabric. Now, she is not normally one to stray from her chosen fabric color (PINK), but the shiny just called to her. We paired it with some of the last bits of this soft, furry fabric, and sat down to design a […]
I seem to be really gravitating towards blue these days. Maybe because I feel the need for a bright cheery color, especially as winter is going to be coming here soon. This sweater is a purchase from a consignment store. There are two in my town, and the store I bought this one from touts […]
