Things I’ve made lately. As in, the past week…

…This is…besides the stuff I’ve already posted.  See, you guys have me all wrong…haha…the following has nothing to do with me or…me.  Haha.
The dress I made for Lorelei:  Mom came over this past weekend and helped me finish it up.  I get really lazy when it comes to pressing and ripping out seams..so she did […]

So much for the bottoms

A couple of weeks ago, I found this cool-looking tutorial on how to make a bikini out of a tshirt! Sa-weet! But, then I started thinking. Wait.
Wet T-shirt contests. T-shirts. Bikini. Um…
And, then someone told me that it’d be one you’d lay out in. And, of course, you […]

The dress…

This dress turns out to be quite convertible. I can wear it long with the shoulders up for church, scrunch it up for dancing (or clubbing - had we one that was worth going to around here), and wear it draped on one shoulder - or not - or, tuck the sleeves into […]

Why I really need a sewing room and other random musings…

Yesterday, I decided I would take on a new project.  - Not that I don’t have enough going on (in the world of craftiness - what, with making gifts and stuff for a swap, and all)…  I decided I’d try a new “sexy dress” I’d found online.  So, I grab my bag of material and […]

The funniest thing…

It’s so funny the lessons you learn if you just pay attention and stop to watch and listen every once in a while….
And, it can be quite amusing at times, at how those life lessons…or reminders…come.
Yesterday, Lorelei came to me, holding a book - wanting me to read it to her.  So, I sat her […]

What happens when I get a little creative…during naptime.

I got the itch again during Lorelei’s nap-time. No, I don’t have some weird fungal infection…I mean, the creative itch…I needed to do something with my hands…my mind.
I had seen a cool tutorial for a skirt a while back, and I thought I’d give it a try. During nap-time. So, I calculate […]

Lorelei’s Birthday!!

Friday, Baby L got some mail (just in time for her birthday) from her great-grandparents.  My Ma (we call them Ma and Pa) had had surgery (kidney removed, actually) not too long ago and wasn’t quite feeling up to the party.  So, she sent a card and money…and here’s L with it on her Birthday […]

For Allie, part II

I had told you about a girl named Allie, and my offer to help a while back in this post.
Well, I just wanted to update you guys! Susan Murphy from Susan Murphy Inc. just ordered a set of 10 cards (with matching envelopes). Her only criteria? They have her business name on […]

For my friend…

Remember my Thursday Thirteen post on First Impressions from 2 weeks ago? I listed a bunch of stuff that I had made. Well, I just found out about a really sad and tragic story about a girl named Allie, who came home from college to visit her mother - only to find […]
