Happenings

Let's see...after the stomach bug...I started working on our homestudy again...and since it has been nice outside I started working on CJ's new headboard that Jake and I found for $7.00...not sure what color I am going to paint it.

BEFORE


SANDED...now to decide if I am going to paint it red...probably. And see that wardrobe it is leaning on...I am working on it too...for the nursery...but thats another post.


Had a request come in for a shirt...




She stopped by yesterday to pick it up...Little doll isn't she...CJ had her turned into a super hero in no time!

Patchwork Ruffle Pants

Finished...my 2nd pair of ruffle pants...the 1st pair...are not wearable...cause I made the button hole wrong!!! Jennifer Paganelli Sis Boom Patchworked Fabric...the brown is Paula Prass Woodland Delight

Here's to hoping my customer's daughter, Avery, wins the photo contest in these!!!

Snow Day Tuesday & Wednesday

Snow Day 2...CJ has decided that he loves taking pictures with my camera...

And I am getting a bit of sewing done...making some "patchwork ruffle pants" for a little girl who is going to be in a photo contest next week...

Her mom wanted Jennifer Paganelli fabric of course!

Dress to Skirt

A new skirt has been on my wish list...but I don't wear them often...so I decided to take an old dress that I NEVER wear and turn it into a skirt...




Hey Date Night...Where are you? I'll be ready when you get here.

I didn't use a tutorial...it was just cut, turn down twice, iron, sew edge, insert elastic, sew closed.

Thrifted

I hit up the new Goodwill in town last night...hoping to look less mommyish...and throw some color into my 4 million black turtle neck sweater mix...the looks below are...where I am headed...I hadn't used this Flickr feature before...And I wish I could have compiled the looks...but you can't...

I came home and threw into the hot washing machine...
-1 brown fleece jacket cause I already have black
-1 light purple Gap 3/4 turtleneck sweater
-1 black cashmere Gap cardigan with fancy buttons
-1 black and gold short sleeve...date night shirt
-1 black and purple short sleeve...date night shirt
