Wardrobe Basics and the Garden out of control!

We planned carefully this year... not wanting to crowd any of our plants... but we still have an jungle instead of a garden!! haha!! Its just a tiny garden space... but do we ever get the most out of it! Just check my Bald Man out with his sweet corn he loves so much!





Yellow squash and zucchini are abundant! My pepper plants are doing well... and Bald Man's roma tomato plant is loaded... and I have quite a few heirlooms waiting to ripen ... which I'm excited about!







We also have snow peas ready to eat! And in the works... eggplant, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, cantaloupe and so much more! I'm gonna need to hit the vegan and vegetarian web sites for some veggies recipes!

As for the sewing I've been doing... all basic stuff.... like these shorts below...
I'm working on re doing my favorite shorts patterns because my booty is higher (and firmer) than it was and my pattern no longer works!

The bottom pair was the first wearable muslin I did... not perfect yet... still working! As you can see...



Though not the perfect fit I'm wearing them anyways here... with the new tank top I made (yes! more pink camo clothes!!) And this little vest I made.... The fabric is a bridal embroidery type... I saw a similar one in a fashion mag but it was long and a bit more dressy... my version is short and sweet... more casual but could be dressy up.

Another easy one shoulder tank... made in less than an hour.... both of these tops are knit fabrics...
And a chiffon, animal print tunic. I used my felting machine to dis stress this fabric which made the animal print much brighter and ofcourse gave it a really cool texture detail... that you can't see in the photo... I added some lace to the neckline... another cute detail you can't really see.. sorry!
Well thats about it... I have some embroidery projects I really wanna get to soon! I'm still working out and my body is still changing with the workouts so I'm really trying not to sew very many clothes... unless its knits or something easy to alter! Like shorts!
I've actually bumped my cardio up to 6 days a week... along with my weights 4 days. The new workout I'm doing, which is in last issue of Fitness rx, is awesome and I'm responding very well to it!
God bless and HAPPY 4th!!!! Have a safe wonderful holiday!

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...

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures.  I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn.  I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets!  For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with!  The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...
