Random photos of random life :-)

Among my sewing pictures I have found these random pictures that I just feel like posting to the blog...  :-) 



I thought this one was pretty... and I didn't even look through the viewer! It was just a test shot before using the camera :-)

My recent thread haul from the fabric store. I waited for the sale!!! :-) I will be back for the next big sale in September! Woo hoo!!

Pajama pants I made for a friend's little boy (on the left), and a pair for my daughter (on the right)


My Marigolds


Just playing with the new camera lens :-) 


This is a makeshift wreath I made out of an old curtain. Its a really large rolled rosette. The flower itself measures about 13" across. I put it on my front door. If anyone cares to know how I did this, I can show pics :-) 3


 A friend ordered a suit from me and she was sooo pleased with it that she sent me this in the mail :-) So sweet! 

I gave Jubilee a treat for being such a perfect little model. She was pleased to say the least :-)


 Selfie I took while out photographing a swimsuit.


This is where I move my desk to when I need to have great lighting for taking pictures of what I'm doing :-) Corner of the living room with great windows!! ((I'm lucky my desk is so light!!))


And this is one of the posters I made for my dad when he was in the Hospital. I love turquoise, and hot pink :-) This was the song I awoke with one morning after his accident. I sang this to him when he was unconscious. Such a good song! Such powerful promises! Find this verse in Lamentations 3:22 of the Bible. 

Thanks for looking through, and have a blessed day!! :-)

 This is a series of posts I'm doing on the different "Styles" of modest swimwear I've made in the past and in the present. This post in particular is on the Women's Ice Skater Suit. A post on the girl's will follow this one.  Women's Ice Skater Suit At one point this was the new 'in' thing. And well, it never really went out of style, its still really popular. A fitted bodice with a drop scoop waist. Attached to an a-line skirt which is very flattering and has such flair! The spandex pants beneath are separate and have an elastic waist band. Pictures below are in order from newest to oldest. I have many of these so I'm just choosing a few. Enjoy!      Boat lounging Anna Skurfing behind the boat Me water skiing I don't know what it is about this photo, but its awesome :-)  Stay tuned for the Girl's Ice Skater Sui

Training Pants (tutorial)

When I started potty training my nearly 2 year old, I went in search of training panties. I had been using cloth diapers before hand, and had tried using those for starters but they didn't work too well for potty training. I'd heard of the plastic covers and such, or trainers that had a layer of PUL in them. But I really didn't want those; I was in search of the old fashioned kind, like the Gerber ones that were made from white cloth and didn't have a plastic lining. Turns out, they're no longer just in white, but come in various prints and can be found at Walmart. That's where I found the ones I bought. They ran about $9.00 for 3 pair. My first thought was that I could make them rather than buy them. I searched for a pattern and tutorial online. I found both, but in separate locations. The first thing I saw was this tutorial over at Lemonwood Clock . Then I followed the link in her tutorial to another post by the  The Mom Road  where I found a printable patter

Types of Swimwear Fabric

First off I have to tell you, I am very picky about quality in swimwear fabric. How it feels, stretches, even what color it is on the back. (imagine that) I'll explain that a little later...  Now I can't always remember which technical names I'm looking for when I'm searching swimwear fabric on the internet, but I've got to be sure I'm looking at the right thing. Its not like I can touch it and immediately know that I've got the right stuff. I know words like nylon, spandex, lycra, and polyester, and even cotton are thrown around. I know enough to stay away from anything that says cotton-lycra on the label. When I was growing up swimwear fabric was simply called LYCRA.  But these days so much clothing is made from stretch fabrics and the word LYCRA is in everything stretchy. Knits have LYCRA in them, but they're not for swimming, they're for stretchy t-shirts, leggings, etc. I found these helpful little notes on ehow, while I was searching for a li
