POPE AND CIRCUMSTANCE! Phoneliness Motivates Papal Conclave to Quick Decision!!
Cardinals enter Conclave clutching their laptops disguised as old-fashioned brief cases. Reporters at THE SNEE just got wind of a breaking news story! YES...THE SNEE was in the Sistine Chapel serenading the poor isolated Chaps while they voted for the next Pope using ballots. All digital and...
Sadly, I can relate to this.

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP COMPUTER MODEL EXTRA CURVY!
Weather never looked so sexy. Meteorologists across the world are so excited by computer stimulation models that they can't stop staring at them."Computer Models have curves and bust out of the flat-screen monitors whenever they anticipate a storm," explained, Jim Cantore, The Weather Channel...
Yah, I am tired, but also pretty happy that have had some exciting projects and don't have a "real" office job.
A tunic could be very tricky outside. In the photo above I am wearing three layers on the bottom and four on top! As you say, that could be a lot of layers floating around. But for the office days, I think I would like one.
And the consensus is in, I need a neutral blazer.

What should a Dragon wear?
Always the procrastinator, I'm constantly on the lookout for a means of justifying my delays. Not ready to present my new Year's Resolutions? That's because I'm really waiting for Chinese New Year. (Is this form of cultural appropriation acceptable?) Anyway, I am a Dragon and the wild ride of th...
Maybe that Tova top? And yes, I would love to have Solvi's wardrobe!

The best makes I have are interesting basics, so that's very good advice.

I think you nailed it. A good blazer (that I will not make) could make most anything else look passable.

It was a year to just go with whatever came along, so yes, I am okay with change right now.

Hee hee, but I'm sorry, this topic just leaves me cold.

POST ELECTILE DYSFUNCTION RAMPANT!
Do you watch the news waiting for the media to actually deliver a story, or do you just feel frustrated and dissatisfied afterwards? Maybe mainstream media doesn't know what to do with itself after the presidential election? They have strategies for capturing our attention with a sexy headline,...
Sometimes I feel like it sewing vs. biking when it come to space competitions in our house! Its nice to know there are other moms out there sending off their kids and surviving it!

Patched together
We got our eldest boy off to college last month, so I guess it's a good thing that I have been working a lot. Otherwise, I am afraid I might have too much time to think about what it means to send my son off, and out of the house. He might kill me, but here he is on his last day of high school ...
great advice Jessica. I'm packing the scarves and my oddly versatile asymmetric skirt.

Well, actually I am and then some! It's hard to really sense how old I am some days, but my youngest son keeps reminding me I am one of those "old people."

You know yourself how complex this is, sending boys off to school. One would think that getting dressed would be a far more simple endeavor.

Oh Yes, now that I have to do more office work, I think I need some stomping big boots!

imbalanced but grounded
My life has a way of shifting madly from one extreme to another. After a long period of underemployment, I have become temporarily overemployed. And on top of work, I'm preparing to send my oldest son off to college. In this case, the lack of free time to ponder the change is probably good. I ha...

Sewaholic pattern and fabric giveaway
The kids are back in school this week and while I haven't been counting down the hours 'til the kids go back to school, I have to admit that I have a lot more time to think all of a sudden. And when I have time to think, I often think about projects I'd like to make for myself that maybe I p...

A dress!
While a botched project sits stuffed on a chair, I, emboldened by Jessica, finished a dress this weekend. Vogue 8232. It's amazing how fast a project can be finished when it fits. Just a few tweaks: SBA, sway back, lengthened bodice, cut the back a size larger than front and gave the waist a...
thanks Rach. Yes, those are my summer Danskos.

I seem to have the alterations for this pattern figured out. Now If I can just transfer the changes to other designs. This has princess seams on the bodice which makes it so much easier to alter.

Yes, it does have a vaguely vintage feeling I was attracted to, especially with the belt.
