I sewed!!

By on October 11, 2010

Well, finally! I had Sunday set aside as a day I wanted to work on some sewing projects.  Of course, it was nice out, and I was sewing away in the COLD basement.  Gah! I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I was still relatively successful in cranking out some […]

Stylin’ little man

By on September 21, 2010

Sewing for boys is difficult.  It isn’t difficult in the way of execution.  Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew.  It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top.  I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]

All or nothing

By on September 14, 2010

Perhaps it is my Type A personality.  Perhaps I just need a routine in my life in order to not go off my rocker from a crazy schedule.  One thing is for certain…I can’t just “exercise whenever I have time”.  That time will never arrive, I can guarantee that. I started my exercise routine on […]

Getting her groove on

By on

Last week I took off from work with the intent that I would sew all week and be productive like last year.  That didn’t quite happen.  I didn’t start sewing until Wednesday night and didn’t get as much done as I would have liked.  I was still able to churn out some clothes in between […]

Awesomeness…that most people probably won’t notice

By on July 27, 2010

Yes, today I am showing some clothes for Fall.  Even though Kailan probably needs more shorts, he is just S.O.L.  Perhaps if he didn’t change in and out them like a teenage girl, he would have more available clothing.  Therin lies the trouble…it is his own fault. 😉 Last Fall I cut out a bunch […]

Charity basket of baby boy goodness

By on July 13, 2010

I got the basket finished up in time to give it to my Mom and Dad so they could pass it through to the silent auction folks.  This is going to benefit a mom of my friend’s girlfriend/ex-wife/mother of his 2 kids.  Complicated. She was diagnosed with an agressive bone cancer and they are in […]

Summer colors

By on July 9, 2010

Now this looked much better earlier in the day without the wrinkles.. Top – Express Skirt – CAbi Shoes – Target Boutique Necklace set – ME (garnet and malachite – matched really well!)  I swear I looked skinnier in it, too. It must be the camera lens and the angle. 😉 As you can see.. […]

Designer jeans…worth the money?

By on July 8, 2010

In short…well, no.  Have I bought them…yes.  I know a guy (a doctor) that is rumored to have $10K in designer jeans in his closet.  I think he has a problem, myself. 😉 Here is a post I wrote for my other blog relating my designer jeans buying experience… ***** Well, you know how us […]

A shirt redo

By on July 6, 2010

About a year and a half ago I made this red shirt, but unfortunately I can’t find the “before” picture.  I was going for a “blousey-hide-my-belly feel” for the shirt and ended up making a mumu.  I wore it once, I think.  Now that I no longer feel the need to hide my belly (though […]

The weight struggle, my continued blathering

By on July 2, 2010

Yes, I am going to talk about weight again, since it is on my mind ALL. THE. TIME. Why? Well, the last few years I have struggled with my weight.  I have always been relatively thin my whole life, with the exception of the stomach pooch.  It’s where I gain weight, it’s genetic and there […]
