Reflection:  This is where things began to repeat and I realized what were my wardrobe staples.  I like clean, simple and easy to wear.  I seem to have a retro inspired thing, but like I said in my last post, my issue is accessories.  I just got a book by Lisa Comfort called Sew Over It, and it has some accessory ideas that I actually really liked them.
I also got even more fatigued this week and just could not feel inspired for a bit.  I went to a Cabi party and that helped.  Part of a Cabi party is meeting with a stylist and seeing the trends, and I was able to think about how to present myself the way I want.  In Cabi clothes, they do little details on the clothes that make them a little more interesting to look at, so I'm going to try and fold that idea into my own clothes.  Like really putting some cute things into my clothes, with either fabric choices or embroidered details.  It'll take more time, but I'm ok with that to really like my clothes.

Me Made May 2018: AKA Me Made Maternity

Yes, you read that title right.  I'm going to attempt Me Made May for the second time.  Oh, and I'm 20 weeks pregnant.  Yeah, so it's been a process.  My little buddy girl has just started to pop out a little, so I've been making the move into maternity wear.  The first trimester was actually somewhat mild compared to those in my new mother's support group thing.  I had fatigue and nausea, but overall it wasn't like the worst thing.  I mean, I slept a lot but I think that was my body preparing for insomnia to come.  And the second trimester, which many call the best trimester, has been good so far.  The body changes have been weird, and I feel like I have a new body like every few days, but other than that it's been fine so far.  Luckily, I'm tall, so she has plenty of space to move around.  I have a feeling that my blog posts for Me Made May will have a similar "Baby Update" vibe to them, but if I've learned anything about how I ...

Too Many Interests

There's a saying:  Jack of all trades, master of none.  Which is how I feel more than 90% of the time.  I can do a handful of things fairly well, but I can't do any particular trade particularly well.   What you will see in this blog is a smattering of what I like as well as some family stories mixed in.  This list includes but is not limited to: Drawing Painting Animating Music Sewing Embroidering Crafting Needle felting Knitting Crochet Croquet Food Eating Building Breaking Teaching Dog walking You know, usual stuff.  Tutorials mixed in, one hopes, as well as completed projects.   I can't promise much outside this, but I'll try to amuse you like a sewing, dancing Schnauzer puppy.  Like my Schnauzer puppy.  He amuses me. I might also complain about messing projects up.  That's likely too. No matter what, I'm going to enjoy myself and I hope you do too.
