I love a nightie with vintage appeal. I made this almost 2 years ago and never mentioned it. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that, since Chase looked like this when I first made it, it must have been too big to go into the rotation. But it fits just right now. Read the rest of this entry »

I Have To Say What I Feel

When The Moon Is In The Seventh House
I tell her act normal and she gives me this. I’m really so happy with how the dress turned out and I’m glad to have one completely finished project to show for the few hours of work that I put in over the course of the week. Now I need to spend some time going through the Flikr pool to see what everyone else was up to. The best news is that after initially telling me that she wasn’t ready to put it on, she asked me where her pretty dress was and put it on! Then later she told Danielle that her mom made it for her! I never get tired of hearing that. Makes all the effort worth it. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 4 :: I Did It
I didn’t want to but I did. And you know what? When I finally got rolling I didn’t want to stop. I planned to just finish the sleeves and hem but I put the casing in and finished off the neck. Assuming that I can muster up the energy to trim off the threads and that the weather isn’t total crap again tomorrow Chase can wear it. Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday :: Day Two
I’m so ready for this lousy weather to move out. It can take my lousy attitude with it too. That would be ok with me. I was so thankful when I got home today for all of the strangers who were kind to me today. I think they kept me from falling to pieces. Ok, I think the only way for me to get it all down is as a list. So, things I’ve been meaning to tell you… Read the rest of this entry »

Recovering & Kid’s Clothes Week Day 1
I’m still feeling just a little under the weather. Significantly better but not quite right. I’m trying not to stress but the ever growing list of things to do has my stomach in knots even though I know that I don’t need the tension on top of this other nonsense that’s going on. Meanwhile, I promise I’ll catch up with you and have answers to all the burning questions soon. I even planned meals for the week that I have to tell you about. Thanks for all the support!
PS Today is day 1 of Kid’s Clothes Week (check out the button in the sidebar… it’s not October Scrap Buster challenge time anymore!) I have no plan. I did put in my time tonight. Easy was my only criteria. I cut out a simple dress for Chase. I’m thinking about focussing on fall rather than summer because I think these guys have everything they need for this season. But who knows. The weather has been so lousy only time will tell.

Projects
I just finished cutting out a new pair of comfy pants for myself. I don’t typically sew for myself. I lose interest too quickly in projects that aren’t finished in a day or two. I have plenty of other sewing projects on my to do list but right now what’s important is getting back into the habit now that bedtime appears to be fairly established. Read the rest of this entry »

Saltwaters
I hope the warm weather comes back because Chase is way ready to wear her new shoes. She cried nearly all afternoon yesterday because her old shoes are dirty. Never mind that she’s the one that wore them into the ground. I’m thrilled that we had a day of cool weather so that running shoes were appropriate and we could get out to the store to pick these up without reliving yesterday’s wailing over having to wear the purple shoes.

News Duds
So, I’m kind of over Target. I still shop there. Lord knows I’m in there way more than my fair share because where else can you buy dog food, an apple slicer and a bra? Actually, you could probably find those things a couple of places and that’s what I’m talking about. I think I got hooked because it’s so convenient but you can get all of the things they offer there at other places. It might just take a little more time. Read the rest of this entry »

The Verdict :: Quick and Dirty Shorts
The pants turned out pretty cute. They’re pants right now and not culottes so hopefully we’ll get at least two seasons out of them. This year as pants and next year as highwaters :) The shorts are just ok but that’s what you get for quick and dirty. They’ll be just fine. Oh, and that last picture? That’s the I don’t like these short pants picture. It’s to be expected at this point but I’d like to know who taught her to say short pants. Funny.

Simplicity 3713 :: Quick and Dirty Shorts
Shorts and gauchos that is. I stitched both of these tonight instead of watching tv although I did keep it on at, what is probably, an inappropriately loud level to keep me company. See, now these pants are called gouchos. So in 10 years, Chase won’t say things to her friends like ‘my mom made me wear culottes’ …right?
No matter, how many simple pairs of shorts I buy Chase just never seems to have enough. Right now we’re totally overrun by simple tops with nothing to wear them with. Read the rest of this entry »
