Awesomeness…that most people probably won’t notice

By on July 27, 2010

Yes, today I am showing some clothes for Fall.  Even though Kailan probably needs more shorts, he is just S.O.L.  Perhaps if he didn’t change in and out them like a teenage girl, he would have more available clothing.  Therin lies the trouble…it is his own fault. 😉 Last Fall I cut out a bunch […]

Charity basket of baby boy goodness

By on July 13, 2010

I got the basket finished up in time to give it to my Mom and Dad so they could pass it through to the silent auction folks.  This is going to benefit a mom of my friend’s girlfriend/ex-wife/mother of his 2 kids.  Complicated. She was diagnosed with an agressive bone cancer and they are in […]

Now this looked much better earlier in the day without the wrinkles.. Top – Express Skirt – CAbi Shoes – Target Boutique Necklace set – ME (garnet and malachite – matched really well!)  I swear I looked skinnier in it, too. It must be the camera lens and the angle. 😉 As you can see.. […]

By on July 6, 2010

The weight struggle, my continued blathering

By on July 2, 2010

Yes, I am going to talk about weight again, since it is on my mind ALL. THE. TIME. Why? Well, the last few years I have struggled with my weight.  I have always been relatively thin my whole life, with the exception of the stomach pooch.  It’s where I gain weight, it’s genetic and there […]

Red outfit…a bit Fallish, but oh, well

By on July 1, 2010

I am really loving these small sweaters.  They give just enough warmth for the office in the summertime and are fairly flattering.  The red shirt is one I made and just had to redo it, since the first version was a mumu.  Not a good look.  It enabled me to finally wear these red sandals […]
