It seems like as the end of the school year approaches, everyone is just barely getting by! We finished up volleyball for the boy and girl, and then also had to make sure all their end of year projects were getting finished up. Both will end with A-averages, and both had great volleyball seasons with […]

Sewing new work clothes
By Stacy on May 31, 2019
After I got my job offer I decided to try on my work pants. The last time I wore most of them was about 1.5 years ago before I started working from home. The yoga pants have not been kind to me. 😉 Yes, nonnnnnnne of them fit! So! Time to make something I can […]

Oil tanned laptop bag
By Stacy on May 29, 2019
Well, it happened. I got a job. No more sleeping in, drinking coffee and checking Facebook for the first half of the day. 😉 No…now I have to actually use my brain again! It should be interesting and challenging, which is something my last job wasn’t for several years. I’m looking forward to it! Now, […]
Well, April just flew by. We had some out of town shenanigans, lots of snow, the big melt, and running around. The boy started high school boys volleyball, so two volleyball kids meant lots of games and tournaments. I am also still looking for gainful employment, so that has been tons of fun. 😉 Here […]

Moto pants
By Stacy on May 6, 2019
As part of my #makenine for 2019, I put a pair of moto looking leggings on it. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that I would change it up to be more pants similar to the ones I made last fall for my Warrior outfit. These were self-drafted and require some different […]
I have really pulled back lately in sewing up strike off samples, but I rather liked this stripe from Moonbeam Textile Company. It is part of their Floral Force pre-order round that runs until May 21st. I thought this print would work great for a maxi dress, so I based this off of my favorite […]
I saw an ad on Instagram for some different temporary tattoos from a company called Momentary Ink. These are like your normal temporary tattoos that you give the kids, only it has a “de-glossing” liquid you put over the top of them. They also are “sticky” when you put them on your skin, so they […]

Hip/Crossbody Bag DIY
By Stacy on April 25, 2019
There are times when I am just not interested in lugging my purse around. In these moments, it is nice to have a hip bag that I can put my phone, keys, etc. into and free up my shoulder from the burden of my overstuffed purse. There are TONS of inspiration and ideas on Pinterest […]

A Sherpa jacket
By Stacy on April 22, 2019
I’ve had this fabric since some time last year, and I wanted to make a lighter jacket with it for fall and spring. Something that you could just throw on before going outside if it was a little chilly. I started using a pattern, but I changed it so much that you can’t really call […]

Wear-all-the-blacks weekend wardrobe capsule
By Stacy on April 19, 2019
When I was deciding what I wanted to pack for my weekend trip to Cincinnati for our friends’ bar opening, I started to go through my closet. I am definitely in a “black phase”, so I decided to steer myself in that direction. The weather there was a bit warmer than here, so I opted […]
