Candy Shoe Repair

Good morning lovely people.

Our hiking path.
I know my blog posts have been sparse these past few weeks. Things have been bouncing like a ping pong ball on my end. Nothing bad, just things going everywhere and sorry to say blogging had to take a back seat.

This week approaching looks to be a bit more steady, like with hiking, I'm hoping to get back into the habit of blogging regularly again.

Fashion Show!!!


Hello lovely people.
It's been hot here. Way too hot, and although I have been sewing, it's been wool and it's been icky.

Brian out for a hike at Griffith Park.
Good morning lovely people.

I know, there is supposed to be a Vintageville episode today. It's not finished, so I'm switching them. :)

MnM 2013: Repurposing some fabric.


Good morning lovely people.

Thanks for holding on this past week. I just got overwhelmed with late nights and  tons of things that I had to get out of the way for other people.

Dressing the Dress Forms

Good morning lovely people.
Whew!
This past week was monumentally full of tons of projects. Sorry for the lack of posts.
I had this (still do actually) hanging around in my living room.

MnM: Drafting a pattern from an existing garment.

Good morning lovely people.
First the good news.


Brian is on the mend. Turns out he had some sort of bacterial infection around his leg and he's now on an antibiotic regimen. I can already tell he's doing tons better. He's starting to play around more. I'm thrilled. He should be back to his normal self soon.

Now to sewing!


MnM 2013 project: Linen Feedsack Beret

Good morning lovely people!
I have a side note of a personal matter.

This past week Brian sprained his leg (most likely jumping off the bed) and has been a tripod all week. He went to the emergency vet, and he said to give it some time before you take him in. Right now he's on meds. I've scheduled a visit with his regular vet this Monday, so let's hope it's not too serious or too expensive...

Let's chat about the sew-along.

Hello lovely people.


Hope your week is going well. I've been busy these past couple of weeks. I have three current dress commissions. Whoa boy! I'm also working on Vintageville, which is getting really good feedback. Working on the comic is really fun, and I've got about 3 weeks planned in advanced.

Sneak Peek!


Here is a sneak at next week's Vintageville installment!

I'm also gonna list the Make and Mend guidelines for MnM '13 Squeee!!!

Have a great Saturday!

*Hey, I typed this at 4 in the morning. Can't expect too much from me then ;)*
