On the last day of summer…

By on June 27, 2013

Oh, I jest…sort of.  This was one of the few nice warmish/hotish days we have had so far this summer.  The subsequent days are supposed to be in the 70’s. Yuck!  I want heat!  We earned warmth after last winter! It has been decidedly cool, so I am usually wearing a sweater of some sort […]

Business-like…with a side of glitter

By on June 24, 2013

I rarely wear suit jackets anymore, but this one is an exception.  It has such a fun print when you roll up the sleeves! The top is the effect of karma.  I have stated in the past that I have given away clothes I received from Zulily that were too small for me.  Well, the […]

Teal and black

By on June 21, 2013

This was a pretty easy outfit to put together with all the matchy-matchy glory. As I was walking to my car in the parking lot of my office, a few ladies were walking into the office.  I barely heard one say, “That’s a cute oufit”.  I know she didn’t intend for me to hear her, […]

This outfit was from mid-May and it was still quite cool in our area.  It actually still is cooler than we would like…summer seems to be slow in coming.  We join a CSA (community supported agriculture) each summer and usually by this time we have had our first delivery of fresh organic veggies.  We won’t […]

Another new purse and an outfit to match

By on June 17, 2013

I seem to be on a roll!  Well, if it is a roll that takes a lot of time, that is.  These purses definitely are not for the faint of heart, and they take me a good 6-8 hours to make.  A bit of hand sewing and piece work is required. I love how this […]

Random sewing things when I had a few spare minutes

By on June 5, 2013

So…I have sewn a few other things over the past few months, but they are rather unimpressive. I put elastic into these shorts for the Girl.  She is a skinny minny, and these shorts didn’t have the button elastic in them.  I just opened up the waistband and threaded elastic into them.  I got them […]

Free-form drawing…or what is that??

By on June 3, 2013

When I “decide” to draw things that I put on pieces of clothing or purses…I have a very loose idea of what I want.  Most of the things I draw in less than a minute.  Usually, it takes me about 10 seconds.  I am all about being quick. I have bought sketch pads over the […]
