Well last week was a bit of a bear. I worked until 7pm each night, and worked most of the day on Sunday. By the time Monday rolled around again…I was very tired. Luckily I had a bunch of outfits made up in my closet, so it was a bit brainless just to pick something […]
I wanted to make a nice neutral tunic top, so of course, I went over the top with the details. As I was cutting it out I was wondering if I should have made a different neckline, but I really like how cozy this is with the funnel cowl on it. Details: Pattern used for […]
I am going to add yet another weekly post (OOTD being at the beginning, so not sure how weekly it will end up being). Several years back when I was largely into photography there used to be weekly and annual prompts people would follow to give themselves a creative impetus to go out and take […]
Here we are at the beginning of another year! They seem to be going by faster the older I get. Time sure has sped up the last few years. It is hard to believe that I have a teenager and almost a teenager, and that hubs and I will be celebrating 20 years wed this […]
Starting the blogging year off with my last strike-off of 2017, for a round opening today at Moonbeam Textiles. The round is called Fantastic Creatures and it featured this adorable coffee drinking unicorn. Luckily Kris gave us enough time to get these sewn up, as December was just crazy busy. No outside pictures of these…it […]
In the interest of cleaning up some old posts in my blog, I bring you a pattern test that got dropped this summer. It fit some of the ladies, but overall it was hard to get it right. It wasn’t the easiest pattern to make with all those gathers in knit materials. I wasn’t sure […]
Was it just me, or did 2017 just fly by like a bat out of hell? Our 2017 started out with our son puking all over the place, and it is ending with my Grandma Jo breaking her other arm and my girl needing knee surgery for a meniscus tear. Throw in several funerals, and […]
This week I was trying to focus more on my brown/natural colors that I have made. I was mostly successful in staying away from black. Mostly. Monday, December 18 Top – Brasov pattern in Carina Nebula by Zenith & Quasar Skirt – poly lycra, my own pattern Jewelry – JC Penny’s Shoes – Sketchers Tuesday, […]
I was excited to get this fabric, since the Manta Rays from the movie, Moana, were so pretty. When I got the 2 yards, they were 2 SEPARATE yards, so not a continuous cut at $26/yard (pre-order price even). That’s kind of spendy to not get what you ordered. Not real happy. She did say […]
Upon showing some spur straps I made for my sister, a friend of mine asked if I could do a gun holster for him. I said, “Sure, but I haven’t made one before and I’m busy right now!” Fast forward a few months and he handed over his gun for me to use to make […]
