It’s football season! Errr…well, perhaps I’m late.

By on February 22, 2011

I wanted an excuse to use some football grosgrain ribbon that I purchased, so I made the little man a football outfit. I know…football is over.  Did I ever tell you that I was good at procrastination?  Well, mainly it was just lack of inspiration.  I am highly inspired to stencil lately.  Thus, loads of […]

Is it a whale? Is it a shark? We’ll just call it a fish…

Two sewing posts in one week!  I am working on getting a bunch of stuff done right now.  My sewing room is a mess, but I am having fun working on projects.  I thought I would share these that I got done so far this week.  I have two more shirts stenciled for him that […]

Love is in the air…

By on February 13, 2011

I had to do some teacher crafting for Valentine’s Day.  I doubt very much that they would want a packet of Fun Dip like the rest of the kids.  Yes, I was lazy with the children’s Valentines, per the usual. This is a nice small gift for the teachers and the one teaching assistant.  I […]

Finding a use for my scribbles

By on February 7, 2011

I felt like doing some more freezer paper stencils, so last Saturday I sat down and drew out some designs.  This first design is for me.  Michaels had a sale on their adult t-shirts, so I bought a few of them.  Unfortunately, they are a bit tight.  This is a medium and it fits more […]

A bit of history

By on February 1, 2011

I finally got a chance to sew on Sunday.  Saturday was another busy, busy day, in which we bought a new table.  The Thomasville store near us was closing, so we got a great deal on a new kitchen table from there.  “Great” being all relative when talking about their prices. 😉  It was probably […]

My favorite pink skirt

By on January 27, 2011

Probably because I made it.  It is one of my favorite creations and I feel so girly when I wear it.  It doesn’t allow you to have a long gait, but that is alright.  I don’t imagine I will have much opportunity to run in it anyways. 😉 Shirt – CAbi Skirt – Made by […]

Short-sleeved sweater dress

By on

I’m not sure what the rationale behind the short-sleeved sweater dresses that are in the stores right now, but it is a bit of an oxymoron. It’s cold, thus a sweater. Shouldn’t said sweater have also LONG sleeves?? I bought a few that were on sale at JC Penny and just know I have to […]

Aging

By on January 21, 2011

I continue to struggle with getting older. I am, without a doubt, getting older.  I have wrinkles.  I have loose skin from my pregnancies and stretch marks.  I have varicose veins. I struggle to accept that this, right now, is as good as it is going to get.  I don’t want that.  I want my body […]

Work in process

By on

Over the holidays when I had time on my hands I went through my wardrobe.  Nearly every morning when I had gotten ready for work, I would have my clothes laid out from the night before.  Then I would change.  Then change again.  Then probably…yet again.  It is hard enough getting the kids ready and […]
