The next month is going to be busy! I am going to be a contestant in the Skirt Fixation blog sewing challenge.  The blog is about skirts, but the contest is really anything apparel.  I am looking forward to the […]

Well, I have been sewing, but we have also been a bit busy over here.  Kai had his 4th grade performance, whereby we all got to listen to the wildly entertaining, and often off-key, recorders.  Then we saw something more […]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin More stuff for Anya! This was a pretty simple little outfit and a transition piece.  The lace-like fabric on the arms will be good when it starts warming up a little bit.  She was not […]

Last Fall, as part of the CAbi line they had arm warmers.  One was in a nice ponte knit and one was ponte and “fleather” (fake leather…sounds classier than saying pleather, I guess).  They weren’t too bad for CAbi prices […]

I am currently playing stash game at SewingMamas.com, which is to try to get us to sew up some of our stash and NOT buy more fabric. Mildly successful with that one. I have really nowhere to wear this satin […]

I finally got my version of this skirt done. This is a skirt that is listed on Etsy.  I checked it out and wasn’t a huge fan on how she placed the ruffles on her skirt, plus the edges look […]

We had to good way to try to remember summer and warm temperatures last weekend…The World’s Toughest Rodeo! I bought the tickets right away, and got excellent seats for us.  We were nice and close to the action, and were […]
