A spooky day

By on October 31, 2012

This was my outfit for Halloween.  I don’t really have any orange in my closet.  I held off buying a pair of orange booties that were on sale at Target the day before.  They were around $20 and the only time I could feasibly see them being worn was on Halloween.  No wonder there were so […]

Ottobre S.W.A.P. for the little man

By on October 29, 2012

The S.W.A.P. for the Boy is finally done!  I still have several things I need to make for him, but I wanted to make sure these fit him first.  There are actually a few other Ottobre pants I would like to make for him, so I need to get them traced while I’m still in “Ottobre-pain-in-the-arse” […]

Fall trees outfit

By on October 23, 2012

You have already seen pictures of this one, but I thought I would describe it a bit… The top is made from organic cotton jersey from Spoonflower.  This one printed pretty true to my design, so I was happy about that.  It is so nice and soft, too!  This will be a great shirt for […]

Twisties x3

By on

This post is all about the hair.  The outfit was uninspired as it was a Monday and I got up at 6am to exercise. This is based on one of Hair Romance’s hairstyles.  My twists have to be folded over a bit, since my hair is so long.  I did it right after I got […]

A favorite dress

By on October 22, 2012

On my lunch hours I like to run all my errands.  I am lucky to have shopping available close by, which includes a mall and a fabric store. The ladies in the fabric store all say “Hi!” to me when I walk in.  Yep, they know me! I wore this on one of those errands […]

Ah, those Fall leaves

By on October 19, 2012

A few weeks ago we drove back to my home state for some pumpkin picking at at neighborhood party.  I love going back there, since I grew up with some great people.  It is wonderful to be able to see them again.  The drive was so pretty, too.  The leaves were turning colors and are […]

Signature style

By on

The last week of Project Run and Play is sewing a signature style. This was tough to figure out. What is my signature style?? First, I was thinking of what I don’t like to make.  I don’t like using patterns that EVERYONE seems to be using (i.e. peasant dresses or anything Farbenmix).  I want something […]

Neon hues

By on October 17, 2012

I have heard tell that neon’s are back in vogue.  I remember the neon’s of my youth.  I grew up in the 80’s, and neons were all the rage.  I remember I made a blazer with a ton of neon colors when I was in 7th grade.  I wore it all the time and basically […]

A little edge

By on October 15, 2012

Just a touch…not much, but just a touch. I love it when you can find a piece of clothing that you know you will wear a ton.  This shirt is one of them.  It has a pleather yoke and sleeves, with an exposed zipper in the back.  I got it at JC Penny last week, […]

Romantics

By on October 12, 2012

I love wearing things that have a romantic twist to it.  I think this sweater is something that goes along those lines.  It was a consignment store find and it was love at first sight!  It is a great Fall and Spring sweater as it has holes in the knitting.  It isn’t too warm or […]
