HAPPY 4TH!!! I need a break!

Happy 4th of July everyone! See I haven't forgot about my blog... just been busier than I have EVER been in the summer...

Heehee! My little garden helper....
Ok! I couldn't resist, now seriously.... I have managed to crochet quite a bit during my son's Jiu Jitsu classes that last an hour and he takes 2 or 3 times a week!
This little pullover vest was super fast and really easy. Made using some cool Japanese yarn that I would have never been able to afford... and it was still expensive on sale! But it made me feel better that it was on sale ;) And I got to tell The Bald Man I bought the yarn on sale...
Know what I mean???? lol!



I have been sewing... I made a beautiful dress by draping that I need to picture. Otherwise I've just been making lots of basics... 4 tanks, 2 tees and 2 yoga pants.... I'm going to do some lite weight cropped jackets too.... For my....
" 'Round the house yoga/walking Wardrobe" My 'round the house wear was looking kinda sad. So I thought it was time to make some cute stuff that I could wear to do yoga in, go walking and look decent wearing in case I need to go to the door for a package or something!! I'm making some yoga 'gear' too!
*******************************************************************************
Now Just look at The Bald Man's little terrace corn field! In between the rows he also has different squash planted and beans that are growing up the corn stalks! Its his FIRST garden ever! I think he's a natural!


My garden is doing fabulous too... EXCEPT my tomatoes.... they got Early Blight so all had to go!
But thats ok... I've got TONS of cucumbers, squash, zucchini, onions... even some blueberries!!!! ... and lots more on the way!!!
All my herbs are huge... I love using fresh herbs in my cooking!




I'll try not to be so slack this month! I really do have alot I would like to show all my blog buddies out there!
Y'all have a great 4th and a great weekend!
God bless you and Stay Safe!!!!!!!

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...
