I can't believe its 2010.... goals, goals



Another year..... 2010... I can't believe it! Above is a short video of where the Bald Man and I spent New Years Eve... Blind Willie's.... it was a great show!

A year in review! GOALS....

Now this year I didn't do as well on my goal list as 2008.... my goals changed from the first of the year... here's how it goes

Goal #1. Make an LBD..... I did... Long Black Dress. My LBD It just so happened when I got in the mood to make a LBD creativity was calling me to do something with my pfaff Grand Floral cd.... and I did ;)

Goal #2 Make Chanel Jacket..... nope.... this goal was put aside when I saw this My Chanel Knock off outfit I HAD to make it.

Goal #3 Make a travel wardrobe..... yes and no,,, I didn't make the travel wardrobe I had in mind when I wrote this goal.. I made 3 mini wardrobes this year... but the travel wardrobe turned into what I call the "weekend getaway wardrobe" I knew we wouldn't get to take a long vacation when Bald man started his new business... so a weekend getaway wardrobe made more sense.

Goal #4 Make something for Bald Man once a month.... nope... Sorry Honey! I think I made up for it with his Christmas present I made him though... Pics of that coming very soon....

Goal #5 Learn to paint silk.... instead of buying supplies for this I bought jewelry making supplies.. my wardrobe was in major need of updating there!! I made alot of pieces I'm very happy with! Even knocked off a Betsey Johnson piece I had my eye on.... I know I didn't post pics sorry...

Goal #6 Learn to crochet... boy did I ever! I'm addicted... got 2 projects going right now! Made countless crochet towels, doilies... make sweaters, shawls, boleros... even a purse and a coat.. I know again didn't post all my pics.....

Goal #7 Make stuff for Charity.... nope I didn't :( but I gave money!! I even started back bellydancing some so I could give extra.

Goal #8 Make 1 BWOF project each month.... nope and I didn't renew my subscription... which ended in April. I realized when faced with the challenge of having to sew from it enough to make it worth that expensive subscription price that I LOVE to look at BWOF... more than I like to sew from it... now I browse through it at BAM...

Goal #9 Make bound button holes... hahaha... left over from 08 goals! Still no!

Goal #10 Study Bible more... yes I did.

I'm not sure I'm really going to have goals this year... except I want to learn to use my machines better... I have all these great machines that can do so much more than put something together. And ofcourse I'll always have the goal of getting to know Jesus better.... thats just an everyday thing !

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...
