Me Made May #9: Week 5, Staying Alive

Monday: (No IG post) Raglan T
Tuesday:(No IG post) Jane T-shirt
Wednesday: (No IG post) Rae Skirt in rust colored poppies

Reflections:
This was just a piece of the month, but it was also the final week of school, so documentation did not happen. I think the big thing I decided was how much more important just wearing the clothes that I made was to me than to post photos. Any teacher can tell you this is a tough week. You're just trying to make it to the end. But now it's over, which means more sewing! Look for those posts as they come through. Also, this will be short because I've made a full project reflection that I'll post during the week. Let me just tell you what to look forward to:
-Posts about sewing projects
-A hair style post. No, really, this will happen.
-More We Make Stuff posts
-Yard updates

So, keep posted. I'm thinking I'll stay with the Sunday post date, but it may be more frequent as it is summer.

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.
