For the love of the twirl

By on April 5, 2010

The past few weeks have been crazy busy.  Example:  Last week was quarter-end, which basically means I have to work a lot to get the financials done in a short amount of time.  On top of that I needed to get the tax returns done so that my bosses are able to file their returns, […]

Comfy Clothes and other stuff

By on March 29, 2010

Oh boy, what a busy week we had.  Last week we entertained at our house three nights, had dinner at another friend’s house on Saturday, and then everything that happens in between.  The kids had lots of fun playing with their little friends and we had some good adult time, too.  I was lucky that […]

Today I give you…not much.

By on March 22, 2010

I didn’t get too much done the past few weeks (last weeks rompers were done previously), as I have been doing a few photoshoots.  That usually takes at least one day of my weekend with the shooting and editing and burning CD’s.  I had a wedding and a shoot for 3-year old twin boys.  I […]

It still wasn’t really warm enough to bust out the tight-less legs, but it was warm enough to bring out the lighter fabrics. Shirt: Express Skirt: CAbi Boots: Naturalizer Scarf: bought at Von Maur

My stylish adventures

By on March 18, 2010

Oh how I love clothes!  I grew up getting hand me downs from my sister and cousins, so new clothes were few and far between.  When I turned around 12, my grandmother taught me to sew which allowed new clothes to enter my closet at a greater pace.  I devoured all the sewing and fashion […]

Cute yet functional

By on March 15, 2010

Those little rompers I have been seeing around finally got to me.  Not the adult version…oh no.  That’s just a bit wrong and far too 1980’s for moi.  I’m talking about those little rompers that just scream CUTE! LITTLE! GIRL! I saw a nice plain one in a magazine and decided to do one for […]

Adding to my wardrobe

By on March 9, 2010

Another week of skirts! I like this style of skirt since it flatters my ruler type of body.  The skirts that I make in this style have stretchy material and elastic waists.  Pretty comfy.  This works well with a top that isn’t overly defining of the waist.    This skirt I made in December.  I haven’t […]

A little originality

By on March 1, 2010

As you know, I like to design my little princess’ dresses.  I usually look around to get inspiration and then go to town by drafting a pattern that will hopefully fit. Lately, I have had a really hard time finding anything inspirational.  I used to look on Ebay for the boutique sellers, because they seemed […]

Compromise

By on February 23, 2010

Marriage is all about compromise. When we were looking at furnishing our basement, Brian really wanted a poker table. That meant no other furniture down there since we just didn’t have the room.   Me notsolikey.  Brian found our nice counterheight bench table on clearance. That looked like a good multi-purpose table and fit enough people, […]

Trying-to-be-creative sewing

By on February 16, 2010

As you know…I tend to shy away from patterns.  However, you generally need the basic shape to sew things, so I do have patterns.  I take the patterns and modify them for what I want to sew.  These are few experiments that I tried.  This post is brought to you by the color black.  It’s […]
