Blueberry

By on July 26, 2013

This outfit is one that I wasn’t sure about, but ended up rather liking.  I thought it would be too much blue, but I think it works together.  I made this top last year in the spring, and have only worn it a few times.  I have a hard time matching it up with a […]

Annnnnnnnnnnd more black

By on July 19, 2013

Here we are in a beautiful stretch of summer weather and I am still on my black and white kick.  The day previously, I wore a black and white dress. The dress was the second choice of the day, though.  I got in the car with my kids just in time for a thunderstorm to […]

Layering

By on July 17, 2013

I recently found a jewelry website that has statement necklaces, earrings, etc.  They like to layer their necklaces, which I just LOVE.  I go there and try not to buy the entire store, since there are so many pieces that I just need.  So far…I have kept myself in check.  That is pretty tough, though.

I have definitely been on a black kick lately.  I still think I need more black, though.  Right now I have a black and ecru tank that I need to finish up in the sewing room.  Maybe I need another black skirt to go with it? There is no such thing as too many black […]

A little bit too comfy

By on July 3, 2013

Here is a dress I made during the sewing retreat and promptly put it on the next morning before climbing in the car for the drive home.  It is so very comfy, and this is me sans shower.  I was going to go home and get a workout in at least once that week…since it […]

A sewing retreat

By on July 2, 2013

Last weekend, I went on a sewing retreat with ladies from my favorite online sewing board.  I have been on that board since 2009 sharing my sewing creations and talking shop with the ladies.  It is always interesting to go meet people in person that you have “spoken” to online, as their appearance and voice […]

Weekend spoils

By on July 1, 2013

This is an outfit I made during a sewing retreat for an online board that I frequent.  In the past I have gotten to meet ladies that I conversed with in online forums.  It doesn’t really bother me that I was going to meet a group of “strangers”, as I had already been getting to […]
