Lovely Chanel...I can never afford you.. but

I can knock you off sometimes! Well...

Not exactly knock you off... but close!

I love this outfit... Its really not as short as it looks in this pic but with my arm propped up on the rail.. makes it look shorter. (also makes me think I should wear some fake tan with this outfit!lol!!!!)

This 'circle' top was simple to drape just by looking at the picture. Simple to sew together by hand and the hem was done with a 2 thread hem on my serger.

The pants are from a BWOF pattern but I added the same Chanel detailing of piping around the waist and at the bottom of the wide leg pants... which makes them flare out so nicely!
Didn't get a great of a pic of the pants but I like them alot!

This was a wearable muslin...and I would like to make another one... in better colors...

This was just one of the many projects I worked on last week!

I also did a ton of 'refashion' projects! Which I need pics of.... And working on a costume for someone...

I'm so behind on my blogging... there's so much I want to show!

I need more hours in the day.... but don't we all! lol!!!

I also have a pattern prepped and ready to cut out... The Bald Man's dress slacks... I'm terrified of them!!!!!! But he needs a suit... bad! And I would hate to think what it would cost to have one custom made for him... because they don't make off the rack suits to fit my man! Since I know I can make a blazer.... I have to face the slacks!!!!!!

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
