glitter pumpkins

So these are my glitter pumpkins from last year, but I am excited to make them again this year. 

The only problem is that I can't remember exactly how I made them—what worked and what needed to be tweaked, etc. But I got the idea from good ol' Martha and she's such a great source that it shouldn't be very hard to replicate.  I think that my colors are too harsh and bright compared to the ones that she used, but I had a limited selection of the fine glitter.  This year I am getting the glitter from "Martha" herself, so they should turn out much better.  

i wish...

i knew how to knit because THIS SWEATER is so cool.

But then, who doesn't like a little retro Wonder Woman now and then?

corduroy

is a hard word to spell for some reason. Maybe it's because I had a cherry coke at the movies last night which has made me extra tired today. I saw Hairspray with Erin and Kelly and it was surprisingly good! I have been singing "good morning Baltimore" all day and Inez keeps telling me that she doesn't like that song.

Anyway, this post is supposed to be about cord-ur-oy. I don't know what it is about 100 degree weather that made me buy this material. But I couldn't resist. I just keep picturing the girls in matching a-line skirts.

i am ashamed

What?! I really haven't posted here since April 20th?! Well, that is just a shame. Not to mention a waste of a perfectly beautiful blog design from my darling hubby.

But what can I say? I have been doing absolutely. no. crafting. of. any. sort. all. summer. But things are changing and I have repented. I will become crafty at the earliest possible moment (in about two weeks once Mom & Dad go back to China and I can leave my sewing stuff around without feeling like I am in their way) and I will have something to blog about here once again.

The fall, which is quickly approaching, always gets me into the sewing mood.

easter outfits

Here are a few pictures of the girls in their Easter outifts. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself for actually making these skirts (wiping away tears)! I just had their pictures taken by Brooke, and I absolutely LOVE them.

here i go again

so with my newfound confidence, i got more material to make more skirts for the girls. it's the same swiss dot, but light pink. and i saw this bold & bright ric rac and thought they would look good on this pink. i can't decide which colors to use, because i think they all go well, but i don't want a rainbow of ric rac on the skirts. here are the colors of ric rac, and the pink material. what do you think?
