Coolest little dude on the block

By on October 18, 2010

I got some more sewing done for our little guy this weekend DESPITE having a head cold.  He now is the proud owner of two more pairs of pants, so hopefully he will be set for a little while.  A few weeks worth, I would wager.  He’s got a few pants that he is just […]

Blue…my signature color

By on October 14, 2010

It just works pretty darn well for me.  I have some rather blue eyes, so when I wear blue it really bring them out.  I’ve had people ask me if I wear contacts, but no…I got them from my grandpa. This year I saw these awesome blue shoes by Fergilicious.  They have a slight platform, […]

I sewed!!

By on October 11, 2010

Well, finally! I had Sunday set aside as a day I wanted to work on some sewing projects.  Of course, it was nice out, and I was sewing away in the COLD basement.  Gah! I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I was still relatively successful in cranking out some […]

Stylin’ little man

By on September 21, 2010

Sewing for boys is difficult.  It isn’t difficult in the way of execution.  Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew.  It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top.  I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]

All or nothing

By on September 14, 2010

Perhaps it is my Type A personality.  Perhaps I just need a routine in my life in order to not go off my rocker from a crazy schedule.  One thing is for certain…I can’t just “exercise whenever I have time”.  That time will never arrive, I can guarantee that. I started my exercise routine on […]

Getting her groove on

By on

Last week I took off from work with the intent that I would sew all week and be productive like last year.  That didn’t quite happen.  I didn’t start sewing until Wednesday night and didn’t get as much done as I would have liked.  I was still able to churn out some clothes in between […]

Awesomeness…that most people probably won’t notice

By on July 27, 2010

Yes, today I am showing some clothes for Fall.  Even though Kailan probably needs more shorts, he is just S.O.L.  Perhaps if he didn’t change in and out them like a teenage girl, he would have more available clothing.  Therin lies the trouble…it is his own fault. 😉 Last Fall I cut out a bunch […]

Charity basket of baby boy goodness

By on July 13, 2010

I got the basket finished up in time to give it to my Mom and Dad so they could pass it through to the silent auction folks.  This is going to benefit a mom of my friend’s girlfriend/ex-wife/mother of his 2 kids.  Complicated. She was diagnosed with an agressive bone cancer and they are in […]

Summer colors

By on July 9, 2010

Now this looked much better earlier in the day without the wrinkles.. Top – Express Skirt – CAbi Shoes – Target Boutique Necklace set – ME (garnet and malachite – matched really well!)  I swear I looked skinnier in it, too. It must be the camera lens and the angle. 😉 As you can see.. […]
