Pattern drafting

Look who is drafting patterns! Now what I made did not fit but that may have something to do with the stretch being in the wrong direction and no seam allowance. But they look like swim suit bottoms( ok underwear) but you get the idea. Next up basic tee!

Three year hair anniversary

2013 makes three years natural. I like to get my hair straightened so I can see how far I have come. This round was a doozy. I thought ,ok let's say hoped it was longer that what it is. I know never satisfied. I was really going for arm pit length. My journey is my journey. My hair has never been this long before.

Pinspiration

Made this last night and we killed the pitcher. Came out great. I ran out of tequila but it taste good with just beer limeade and cherry soda.

Fish tacos

I made these fish tacos yesterday fish cilantro onions and a radish. I also made some with veggie crumble tacos as well. I needed more salt so I need to work on that. I also made a drink with tequila corona frozen limeade cherry 7 up we killed the whole pitcher. I also made a fancy guacamole ( reg guacamole cheese tomatoes and green onions) he enjoyed his b day dinner. I want to make some tacos with soy chorizo I have to find some soy chorizo.

Baby bloomers

Ok I can see why the designer of this pattern had a stack of these bloomers. I already cut out four I had to stop my self before I cut out a grey pair and another red pair you know a collection.

Babies

So I made a ripple afghan and two hats for a little boy due in aug. then saw a yellow tutu on instagram and had some left over tulle for my mint green tutu attempt. And viola baby Akira due in nov now is tutu ready.

That's a lot of potatoes

This church was blessed with this mountain of sweet potatoes I am thankful someone let me know about it. I have never seen that many sweet potatoes ever. They say next Thursday it will be white potatoes!

Moving up

She moving up! I love our matching outfit. Ok coordinating outfits.

Well I wanted color

When I went to buy my Bentley wig it was gone. I was hemming and hawing anyway. Luck would have it that my co workers grand daughter made her a wig she did not like. So she gave it to me! Yay me!

Outfit Pinspiration

Paper bag clutch

I wanted now I have one.

Lela's first pound cake

She made this pound cake from scratch all by herself. Way to go baby!

Finished

I got four ballband dish cloths out of two balls of cotton. I made three the same because you get less yarn in variegated than solid. I am positive that casting on 33 helped. They came out nice.

Ballband dishcloths

These came out great let's see if I can get one more.

Much better

You know I looked up ballband dishcloths in my blog the last post was about 6 years ago. Has it really been that long since I made a ballband? Anyway I casted on 33 future reference multiple of 6 plus 3.

Granny ripple

This was easy I want a purple one now or maybe a round granny!

Sequin shorts

She looks great!

Hot rollers

I put some hot rollers in my wig last night I like it a little better. Makeup and earrings helped too.

Fab fringe

At the moment I don't really like it I have to play with it some more. The headband is giving my roaring 20s. I can't wear a headband all month. Or can I?

My shirt

And she made me an extra vinyl hmmm royal blue shirt?

Drew remix

I saw Toni Daley do a remix with LaJay so I did the same and I love it! Next up a high puffy bun with drew! Go you tube !

Hair ideas

The top is fab fringe I want this wig for may it was this style right here that made me want the fan fringe wig. The wig on the bottom is Bentley by free tress equal. My co worker had this wig in a different color. I saw this one and the color grabbed me. This is my June hair. I want to wear it just like her. This is my plan anyway.

Baby fashionista

I was pinspired for her!

My take

This is my take on the picture I saw on pinterest. If I am going to be a fashion blogger I need a way better setup. I am going to work on that just have a camera on a tripod at all times. Anyway! You see how big drew has become! I am no good with synthetic hair. I have a few plans for her yet. Next up in the protective style challenge fab fringe hopefully.

Man!

I burned 1049 calories in almost 2 hrs. Go ahead soul line dance class ! Mind you Leon came home with cheesecake from the cheesecake factory and I just put it all back on. Boo shame!

My work in action

I designed this logo my friend printed it with a vinyl cutter something like that iron it on I think and bam!

Tutu 2

I love the plaid shirt and tutu look. got the top from salvation army for 2.50 I made the skirt. Dyed some white tulle and I also dye the skirt but it came out grey but it still worked!

Sparkly shift dress

OK I saw the sparkly shift dress on pinterest and while surfing pinterest I saw a pattern that is very similar to it! Now I just need a sale on patterns!

Wait now

I went to salvation army on a lunch break and found this (2.50) I was planing on making some lace shorts. Told my mil my plan and she said what size is it ... Let me see that first. Yes I was about to chop that right on up.

What I did this weekend

I went to pick up my child and my mil said she was about to go to value village. I had not been there in a long time so why not! Ended up stopping at two yard sales on the way there. The picture of the tulle I plan on making a black tutu. Going to try my hand at dyeing fabric again. Tribal and plaid print curtain panels I am going to make full skirts with these. Lace table cloth plan to make lace shorts and probably a lace pencil skirt. The best part of all faux leather curtain panel. Plan: shorts skirt two fold over clutches. I have pinned about three outfits for the leather shorts and skirt if I don't make them before it gets too hot best believe you will see them next fall!

Done

I finished them.

My Beshe drew

Are you serious!

Why? Did I make a size 22? Why did I not realize it was size 22 until I was almost done with the shorts? I really would have figured it out when I went to put my size 14 band on a size 22 pair of shorts! Man down! You known am hurt I could not wait to pop me on a pair is sequin shorts v neck tee and some heels girl bye! Hopefully my mother in law can help me fix them. Boo shame boo.
