I’m in for the final haul here on Me Made May.  I did better over this weekend than last with wearing comfortable me-made items.  I only missed taking a photograph for one day (Saturday), but I’m proud to say that I still wore a made item, only the photograph is missing.   Day 22: I… Read More »

Hey guys!  Happy Monday?  I wish I could be happy about it but I feel as if I cleaned-ran-slept through my entire weekend.  I had a very full, fun weekend but I just wish I had an extra day for relaxing. So far so good with Me Made May outfits… well kinda.  I ended up… Read More »

I’ve been the happy recipient of both sewing and knitting goodies by three wonderful gals.  For two of the three gift-givers, this post is shamefully overdue and for that I continue to feel guilty.  But I figured better late than never, right???
