I just finished sewing my skirt and I kind of love it. It took waaaaaay longer than I expected (natch) but I’m glad I took things slowly and took the time to un-do what didn’t look like it was working. I won’t bore you with all the details… well, maybe I will.
The pattern: I used [...]

I went to JoAnn last night to pick up some cheap fabric I could use for a test skirt before I dive in and make one out of designer fabric, and I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted this fabric at the last minute (I was literally walking up to the cutting counter with a [...]

I woke up Friday morning with an idea for a skirt in my head (admittedly, it would be similar to one of Kelly’s skirts, but more blue) and so I researched free a-line skirt tutorials on Friday and set out to the fabric store on Saturday. And while I did find some Amy Butler fabrics, [...]

I realized a bit too late that the azalea on our front deck was in full bloom this past week. Last night after a few “drinkie poos” I grabbed my camera and snapped off a few shots in the waning sun. I like how each of these photos has a totally different feel to it.
I’ve been feeling a bit over-extended, and over-burdened, lately and I completely let my blog fall by the wayside. I pretty much took an internet hiatus there for a while, staying off Ravelry, Flickr, and Facebook. But now I’m back. And recommitted to blogging. Because it still has its place. And it’s mine.
