Sometimes a bright pop of color is needed…especially on Mondays! It was a nice relaxing weekend, but Monday always comes so abruptly. At least the weekend cooled down, somewhat, and we could enjoy some time outside on the deck, having dinner with friends. Now, it’s back to the grind! Skirt and top – Made by […]

I tried to copy this hairstyle that I saw on a blog yesterday. Such a cute hairstyle! I didn’t straighten my hair to do it, nor use any product in it. I don’t like using hairspray, and it takes forever to straighten my hair. I would have been really late for work, instead of just […]
Anya decided that she finally wanted to learn how to sew. I asked her what she wanted to make and she said bike shorts and a top and then a skort and a top. I told her we would start with the bike shorts and go from there. Bike shorts are pretty easy, with just […]
This would be another shirt that I have made. I used ruffle fabric where it is pre-ruffled. Not the most flattering, so I will need to figure out a better way to wear it. All those ruffles add a bit of width. Oh, and it was crazy warm and humid this morning, so my […]
Oh, how I am ready for the weekend! This week we have had contractors at our house to replace our driveway with a new poured and stamped concrete one. We needed to replace it when we moved in 9 years ago and it has just gotten worse each year. They tore it out on Monday […]
Last night it was time for a fresh dye job. I use Natural Instincts Light Auburn temporary dye…3 boxes of it. I started using the temporary dye probably around 10 years ago. By this time, it doesn’t really wash out since I have dyed it so many times. My roots get a bit visible, but […]
I made this outfit in the past week. As in…I made the top last night and couldn’t wait to wear it! The pants were try #2 on a new pattern I drafted. Try #1 consisted of a lovely black linen that resulted in a less than flattering pair of summer pants. You win some, you […]
My children are getting terribly neglected, aren’t they? Well, Anya won’t wear some of the many things that she has in her closet, so I ask you…why should I make more? Kai on the other hand doesn’t much care what he wears, and rarely matches. He’s happy with athletic shorts and t-shirts, so that is […]
Well, the clothes I am wearing ON TOP were purchased, but I am wearing a slip I did a little sewing on. I have several skirts that are a bit see through (this being one of them), so I wanted a fitted nude slip. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Most that I saw had panties […]
This was another maxi skirt/top outfit that I made. It is soooooo comfy. Lovely soft knits, and it is just like wearing pajamas to work. I wore this a few weeks back and didn’t really like the pictures, so I didn’t post them. I thought I looked too fat in them. I think I have […]
