Been Tagged! Twice!!!

So I've been tagged by Faye and Kimbree !!! To name seven weird or unknown facts about me....

Lets see.....

1. I can't decide what hair color to be lol!!! Over the last year I've been red, red with blond, auburn, light blond and now dark brown.... I think I drive my hair stylist crazy!!! I've been like this for years!!!

2. I like cleaning stuff out and getting rid of stuff ..... But I hate everyday cleaning.

3. I am crazy happy and so proud that my son is musical!!!! He plays guitar, dulcimer and some piano, some banjo. He has even wrote some of his own music... not bad for 14!

4. I think its awesome that my Bald Man is half Panamanian!!! Awesome and hot!!!

5. I'm fascinated with polygamy.... every since that HBO series Big Love!!! I can't believe some women share their man, their kids AND their kitchen!!! Crazy!!!

6. I love sewing!!!!! Its such a passion... and I really love to see people wearing things I made them! I always feel so honored when someone hires me to make them something!

7. I owe it all to God! I truly believe without him I couldn't do anything! I think him for all my many blessings and skills!!

Now I'm supposed to name other bloggers to do the same.. but I'm just gonna say.. if you're reading this and feel like you want to share... go for it!

A Great Weekend!

The Bald Man and I had a fantastic weekend! Friday we just kinda hung around the house.. watched a movie. Saturday was 'going out' night! We went couple of places and then ended up at the Mirage. Its been awhile since I've been there but we told Rach we would come see her dance. Here she is to the right in a bra and belt I made which looks great on her!! I hate to say it but I really don't like watching bellydancers after all the years of dancing myself and watching them. I find it boring... unless the dancer has what I call the "it" factor. Let me tell ya! Rach has the "it" factor! She sparkles and grows when she dances. Most people can learn to dance... but not everyone shines when they do it. I'll be back to see Rach dance again! Below we have a pic of Capt. Bald Man! Yesterday we took one of the boats out for a joy ride on Lake Loudon. We had fun... and some surprises along the way!! It was a beautiful day to be on the lake!!! Next Sunda...

New Machine!!! and getting organized!

Here's my new baby... The babylock cover stitch machine!!! It runs quite, sews like a dream... For those of you who follow my blog you know I have the Babylock Evolve which has cover stitch abilities.. but I have to convert it.. and I'm lazy. I sew ALOT of knits!! So with the money I made off of a couple of costumes I bought this! And its love!!!! Adding a new machine means re-organizing my sewing rooms to make it work... so my stash got re organized too... check out how neat it looks now!! Actually we're re organizing alot of the rooms in our house... here's the Bald Man in his new office! LOL!!! You can't even walk in there! Also.. I joined the Sew Craft Blog ! I'm in group three and looking forward to meeting new seamstresses and fiber artists!

I get new tops, the Bald Man gets a shirt!

Below is Burda 8116. A super easy tank top with a wrap topper. The pants are from BWOF. This was such an easy pattern!!! I made the below tank and topper in an hour... seriously! Ofcourse I must say having a cover stitch machine greatly speeds up sewing knits. In fact the day after I made these... I made 2 more tanks, another topper.... and the below view from the same pattern... a simple mock wrap top. The jeans were made last year from a pattern I copied from rtw. Anyways for those of you looking for a quick project... gotta get this pattern! Below here is NL 6429. It was easy too.... I actually made this last fall and never got to wear it... I wore it last night to Latino night at the Fairbanks.... good times! I wouldn't mind making another dress like this in some less 'fancy' fabric. Another shirt for my Bald Man... this was his B-day present... made once again using that wonderful Islander pattern. I embroidered a cross on the pocket... Some crosses on the sleeve... A...
