A favorite dress

By on October 22, 2012

On my lunch hours I like to run all my errands.  I am lucky to have shopping available close by, which includes a mall and a fabric store. The ladies in the fabric store all say “Hi!” to me when I walk in.  Yep, they know me! I wore this on one of those errands […]

Ah, those Fall leaves

By on October 19, 2012

A few weeks ago we drove back to my home state for some pumpkin picking at at neighborhood party.  I love going back there, since I grew up with some great people.  It is wonderful to be able to see them again.  The drive was so pretty, too.  The leaves were turning colors and are […]

Signature style

By on

The last week of Project Run and Play is sewing a signature style. This was tough to figure out. What is my signature style?? First, I was thinking of what I don’t like to make.  I don’t like using patterns that EVERYONE seems to be using (i.e. peasant dresses or anything Farbenmix).  I want something […]

Neon hues

By on October 17, 2012

I have heard tell that neon’s are back in vogue.  I remember the neon’s of my youth.  I grew up in the 80’s, and neons were all the rage.  I remember I made a blazer with a ton of neon colors when I was in 7th grade.  I wore it all the time and basically […]

A little edge

By on October 15, 2012

Just a touch…not much, but just a touch. I love it when you can find a piece of clothing that you know you will wear a ton.  This shirt is one of them.  It has a pleather yoke and sleeves, with an exposed zipper in the back.  I got it at JC Penny last week, […]

Romantics

By on October 12, 2012

I love wearing things that have a romantic twist to it.  I think this sweater is something that goes along those lines.  It was a consignment store find and it was love at first sight!  It is a great Fall and Spring sweater as it has holes in the knitting.  It isn’t too warm or […]

Holiday wear…a.k.a. princess dress version #501

By on October 11, 2012

This week for Project Run and Play we have Holiday Wear.  I kinda missed the fact that it was supposed to be FALL holiday wear, but she can wear this to Thanksgiving just fine.  I made the kids some Halloween outfits a few years back if you want to see some Fall holiday wear.  Oh, […]

Running around casual wear and some body musings

By on October 10, 2012

A rare share of my weekend clothes.  I got up early on Saturday morning, got in my workout, dyed my hair, fed the kids and then we were OFF! I have been trying to switch my workouts to be in the morning.   Not only do I dislike working out…I dislike getting up early at […]

Into the grays

By on October 9, 2012

The tops here are from my recent foray into purchasing clothes at a retail store.  In looking back over the last year or so…I have rarely purchased clothes for myself. Let’s not talk about fabric, though…that is whole ‘nother story!  I can’t fit it all into the shelves in my fabric room. It was fun […]

New stuff

By on October 7, 2012

Well,  here is a new sweater that I acquired in my getting-ready-for-winter shopping.  I can wear a fitted long-sleeved shirt underneath it when the weather turns colder.  I actually paid full retail for it, which is something I try not to do.  As we are at the beginning of sweater shopping season, I couldn’t find […]
