Today’s post is all about my hands… or at least things that are going to adorn that area. In the last week I have been very fortunate to receive some gifts that will allow me to make my hands pretty. My friend Violet Le Beaux most graciously made me a set of custom false nails. She is [...] . . . → Read More: From the Wrist Down

I love aprons! Really, I do. I have a few, too. All of which I wear, and all of which I’ve made. Half, bib and pinafores, they all have a use and some are better than others for certain jobs.Pina Pinafore aprons (or pinnies) are good for just about everything except hostessing. I love pinnies for [...] . . . → Read More: Tie One On I’m not a garment knitter, I have friends who are garment knitters though. But lately, I’ve been thinking about what and why I’m knitting. I enjoy the process of knitting, which is why I always have multiple projects on the go, but with this comes missing out on frequent finished items, and the elation of wearing [...] . . . → Read More: Knitting a Hug This is my hat. I have wanted a hat like this since.. well.. forever! I have always loved the look of this style of hat. On both men and women. It bring to mind images and feelings of mystery and spunkiness. There’s an attitude you must convey when wearing a trilby. This style of hat has been [...] . . . → Read More: My Trilby I am currently in the planning stages of a rather large wardrobe ‘upgrade’. It will involve a lot of sewing, as I plan on making it all. I have a few vintage pieces that will fit as I lose weight, but I need to dress the “me” I am now. As I’m coming from a [...] . . . → Read More: The Best Fit The pants aren’t finished. They’re not far off, but life likes to get in the way. My poor 3yo has had a mild chest infection, so all efforts have been made to try to keep him still(ish), and quiet(ish). So I’ve been in “cuddling/nursing” gear all week. Not glamourous at ALL, and in fact, I’ve [...] . . . → Read More: Taking Another Step. Over the long weekend, my trusty jeans finally died. And I’m not sad that they did. They’ve served me well for more than 2 years (Target jeans, not expensive ones .. my size 14 Levi’s are still in perfect nick), and I was thinking of ditching them anyway. They just got in first. So my MIL [...] . . . → Read More: Pop Goes the Zipper! It’s not that things aren’t chugging along nicely, but there really isn’t much happening that’s worth blogging about. A few of my girlfriends and I are working on a social calendar which will incorporate dressing up, drinking tea, ghost tours, knitting, Serenity and most importantly friends. My circle of friends is something that has been undergoing some [...] . . . → Read More: Whole Lot of Nothin’ Goin’ On. I’m about to tell you about my secret clothing heaven. As we speak I am a ‘plus’ size girl. I’m also a short girl. Off the rack clothes that I enjoy wearing doesn’t really happen often. But I must dress, so I do the best I can. My mother introduced me to a place that I have [...] . . . → Read More: Let Me Tell You ‘Bout a Place I Know. The Mister, of all people, alerted me to this segment that was on the Today Morning Show this morning. This is not a new debate. Melbourne Fashion Blogger, Super Kawaii Mama, delved into this subject last September from the point of view that it only matters if you make it matter. What gets me, is that there [...] . . . → Read More: “Stylish Mums on the Run” – Today Morning Show |
