Inspiring Images and Planning!

While in Panama I picked up some sewing/pattern magazines at the pharmacy!!!

I had bought a Patrones off ebay before to see what all the hype was about.... but didn't see anything my body could pull off in it... I mean, fashion forward clothing is great... if you have the frame to carry them, and my curvy, 5'5 body can't carry alot of them... so back up on ebay it went.
Plus Patrones patterns do tend to be more difficult.

The dress above is cute, simple and I think I could pull it off.. maybe.....

The dress above I could not pull off and I would have to hire someone with much experience to help me sew it... there's alot of patterns like that in Patrones.... but its soooo pretty!

Love , love this dress!!! Style and the fabric choices!

Ditto for this one!!! I think I could sew these 2....

The following pics are from the Moldes Magazine... which I love... cute stylish clothes... but the don't seem extremely difficult.

The top and dress above are so simple but the use of 2 different fabrics makes it a stand out. I would have to add more 'support' to that top somehow!

This top above is rated difficult... but I don't think it would be to hard... we'll see.

Love this whole look!!!!!!

Yes, I am trying to plan some fall sewing..... strickly from my stash... which is huge now!!!!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

Just alittle hoop action

I think I'm getting better! hmmmm... I've got enough bruises from the hoop I should be better! I still can't hoop on my chest for long... and there's a good reason for that! lol!!!

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!! On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!! So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize. I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
