My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – This week Valentine’s Day landed on Ash Wednesday, when us Catholics are supposed to fast. So…the kids got some pre-Valentine’s Day, aka “Fat Tuesday”, treats. Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was to sew something with hearts. It didn’t get done, and no #makenine […]
My kid is a huge Marvel fan, and once he saw the trailer for the Black Panther he was all ready to see the movie. It looks really, really cool. Unfortunately, he has been a bit sick this weekend, so no movie. I did get the lounge set sewed up for him with Black Panther […]
Here is the second set of prints that I sewed up the samples for Fabric Anthropology. This one relates to Helga in the Vikings series, and is a phrase she said in show. These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]
So who’s a Vikings fan?? Apparently…we are! Fabric Anthropology is running a Vikings round, and it has some very cool prints. There are a few panels with just phrases, and then panels with some of the characters on it. The coordinates include the battle print below, a print with ships (another blog post will be […]
Back on plan, dangit! My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – This is a preview of a sew I did for the hubby, but I really love this shot of him laughing. I don’t really get enough pictures of him. Sewing – This week was pretty much just sewing for strike offs, and not much […]
My accomplishments this week Last week was basically the reason I need this challenge and process to go through each week. Last week was completely UN-focused. It was one of those busy weeks with a few hatchets thrown at us, just to make it interesting. The girl is improving from her meniscus knee surgery…each day […]
One of the reasons why I never think I can go on a RTW buying fast is that it is cold here, and you need sweaters. I don’t knit sweaters. I can do a little loom knitting, but that is the extent of my prowess with yarn. Luckily, you can find sweater knits! This is […]
I got another of my #makenine challenges completed, and it was this skirt that I have been coveting for several years on Pinterest. I wanted to wear it to work, so that length wasn’t quite going to work for me. I made it longer, but I think I may take the waist off and shave […]
A few years ago I purchased a t-shirt at the store Maurice’s. It was one of those, “I need something new to wear this weekend” purchases, and so I didn’t expect to wear it much. Turns out I wore it A LOT. Sequins always make a shirt better I decided I needed to make a […]
