Wow, it has been 3 months since I have posted here. Time sure flies when you have no time (or energy) to do anything crafty. I carved out some time this past week to get a few things sewed up. I also “lucked out” that the girl’s fastpitch tournament ended with a single elimination tournament […]

OOTD – Week of November 11

By on November 17, 2019

Well it was record cold for this time of year, so warmth was what I was looking for. I also had a hard time bending my thumb without ripping out the healing that was going on, so putting on tights was a struggle! I opted for simpler things to wear earlier in the week while […]

It is starting to turn pretty chilly now, and we need to make sure to dress for those freezing temps. I also got a new office this week, so no longer in my cozy little cube. It is a bit colder in there, so I need to dress appropriately. Monday, November 4: Dress – New […]

OOTD – Week of October 28th

By on November 3, 2019

I’m going to try to do this again. I don’t expect that I will get every day, but maybe a few! I tend to get stuck in a rut of reaching for the same clothes, and I end up having a lot of clothes I don’t wear if I do so. This is going to […]

By 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 […]

Moto pants

By 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 […]

A Sherpa jacket

By 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 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 […]
