Okay, I just have one word to say about watching Gretchen Jones last night on Project Runway Season 8 last night: OVERBEARING!!!!!!! Have we not all been there at one point in our lives when we've come in contact or have had to work with someone who is completely and utterly dominating? Has an opinion… Continue reading I wasn’t going to comment but…

Building a Fashion Sewing Reference File – Part 2 – Pattern Choices
Part 2 in my endeavor to re-build my Fashion Sewing Reference File is to get a new handle on my current pattern inventory. How I've decided to go about doing this is to photocopy (scan a copy) the line drawings of all my Burda magazines and all of my pattern envelopes. As a fashion sewer… Continue reading Building a Fashion Sewing Reference File – Part 2 – Pattern Choices

Back from Columbus
The sun rises as I cross the Indiana/Ohio border on my way to Columbus. Yuck!...look at all those bugs! Ick! I'm now back from Columbus, Ohio.

Happy 4th Month Mr. Einstein!
Einstein is 18 weeks old. This is a big milestone in his development because what that means is his baby teeth start dropping out and his adult teeth start moving in. It's happening. I was warned about this, in fact, my dear sister explained to me that I'll be getting a new kitchen before I… Continue reading Happy 4th Month Mr. Einstein!
Santino and Scarlett…a little bit of fashion fun on the road!
H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.!!!! "Miss Sue Ellen! Miss Careen! Prayer Time!" Austin Scarlett calls out from the banister of a glorious Antebelem era plantation home staircase. A subtle reference to a scene from Gone With The Wind. (The girls are called downstairs for evening prayers, they squabble over who will wear the 'green dress' and eventually we understand that… Continue reading Santino and Scarlett…a little bit of fashion fun on the road!

Alright, Mr. Cutline is out Miss Coraline is in.
Apparently I haven't been listening to WordPress's announcements lately. They have transitioned all the blogs that use the Cutline template over to a new template called Coraline. Forgive me if you have absolutely no idea of what I'm talking about...it's a little bit of the behind the scenes speak. In a nut shell, the template… Continue reading Alright, Mr. Cutline is out Miss Coraline is in.
Repurpose Some Wood for Ruler Storage!
When I am overwhelmed with so many things going on and a seemingly endless stream of ideas going on in my head I like to make a quickie list of things to do. I've learned over the years that it is better to keep a 'To Do' list short, with no more than 5 items on… Continue reading Repurpose Some Wood for Ruler Storage!
