It's That Time Again

The weather is cooling off and that mean ... More cowl neck gators! Here is the latest one in my collection.

Yarg!

Got the machine out on Sunday and altered a shirt that my brother in law and wife (J & J) got for me on their trip to Disneyland. It began as a men's shirt and ended as a Steph shirt.

Re-visiting my Sewing Machine

So the other day I busted my dress form out of it's box and fitted a long tunic shirt. Here's the before.


The after is coming soon. Also, I turned a cheapo skirt into a fabulous apron.

Visit to St Joseph, MI

We went with my folks to St Joseph a few weeks ago. Hilarity ensued, silly pictures were taken, and fun was had by all.


It's a dog in a monster suit!


Dance with me bear. Dance!

Science and Industry

These are taken from our misadventures at the Museum of Science and Industry.

This is the outside of the first manned space shuttle.

Is that a 10-pin? Yikes!

Here's the inside. What a piece of junk!

This Sunday! The Earth Vs the Sun! My vote goes on the Sun.

I think his does too.

My salute to Dairy farmer's everywhere.

"Christian! I have to do this! It's just so much FUN!"

One giant Tesla coil coming up.

Christian making his own smug sparks.

Really? For the faux tornado?

That's a big ... umm... piston.

Undercover Cinderella

I've seen all of these different types of crafts and I had to get in on it. I'm trying my hand at art journaling. This is my favorite page so far. I used a plastic store bag and some ink blu and green ink for the stamping and then went over it with the yllow in a light smearing motion. After that I made it a page of my own. I founda photo of a WWII refugee and kind of added the rest as an after thought. She really is an undercover beauty.

Bored and Toasty

What does an oversized t- shirt + boredom + bathroom mirror and iPhone - makeup = ? This!


Good times.

shoe Inserts?

Wow! That's really all I can say about these Dr Scholl inserts. They have the gel cushion in them, are made with silky feeling fabric, and fit into my shoes without giving me that squishy toe/foot feeling. Definately recommend these.

Photo Scavenger Hunt

I have an idea and a list to go along with that idea. I want to do a photo scvenger hunt! Huzzah! This is also because I'm enrolled in a sewing class and have work so there is little time for me to do any other posts. Here is my list thus far...


Photograph (people/ person):
1) On a swing set
2) With a dog
3) With a cow
4) In a strange section of a store
5) At a local landmark
6) With Someone in a uniform (any uniform)
7) Wearning a strange looking hat
8) In a bathroom
9) Viking funeral (for anyone or anything)
10)An adult in a child's or toddler's seat
11)A Pirate or someone dressed as a pirate

... You get the idea. What are your ideas? I plan on beginning my strange picture taking in the coming weeks. I may start with sitting on the bench with these statues near my work. They give me the wiggens.

Lightened My Hair

So I did this two weeks ago but I've been too lazy to put something up. I'm trying to slowly go extremely lighter with my hair. Yay! Haven't been sewing much lately but I will try to jump back on that in the next few days. I have this dress that I'm just dying to try to make.

Backyard with a View ... and a Dog.

I was trying to get used to my new camera/lenses and was playing in the backyard. I had my dog tethered to my side (we have no fence) and he kind of posed out a few times. I think that the yard looks sort of whimsical sometimes. Like fairies or sprites or something could live out there. Oh, and yes that is a putting green in the backyard.

Our Trip to the Field Museum

I'm not going to label all of the picture because I think that they speak for themselves. Needless to say we had a blast.

Hemmed some pants...

... and destroyed a shirt. Oh well, at least the hem on the pants looks nice. I love nessecity sewing as much as any other kind. It's so useful.

Pretending to Work

I'm here at work but I snuck in the backroom really sly like and snapped this pic with my phone. It looks like the dissembodied





arms are reaching out to one another.

Getting Ready For Work

I'm still neglecting my blog. I'm trying to use my non- work time to finish homework and hang out with Christian. Here's me pretending to get ready. Hehe.

Bad Blogger

Wow I've been neglecting you lately my little bloggy blog. I promise that with the start of next week I will post something. I've been caught up with a new job and school and well life and a billion other excuses that don't mean too much. Also, I got me the food poisoning last week from chicken salad. Blargh. I'll be back to share though, and you better believe that neat things are in store. Here's where I'm going and what I will be seeing next week:
