It's Friday ya'll!!! Go ahead and dance with the video....I did lol. I was supposed to slow it down this week, but this one is for you girl! LOL ok, so how have you guys been? Me?!? GOOD! This has been a LONG week, but alas it's over! I don't have much planned for this weekend. I get to hang out with the Scrap Etc Design Team tonight and tomorrow I have a photoshoot and that is it for me! LOW KEY! WOO HOOO!!! Love that!!!
For all my readers that had my old email address as my AIM name, PLEASE change it to adnixon1036. Don't make me start calling names, Dana, Jeanette, Ronalyn, Maria.....i'll leave it with you guys for now lol.. LOL MIMI...we gotta get it working girl! LOL
Ok, how about some real "content" lol
SEWING:
I finished one item on my Fall Sewing List. It's Butterick 4805 Excuse the blurry photo's Jaelyn took them for me :-) I need to give that camera back to Aj! LOL
Can I please just tell you how much I LOVE this skirt?? It is SO comfy and I think the fit is great. I do however need to do a few more sit-ups and put on my Spanx lol. Here is a back view.
This dips down in the back and it's just so cute. I really like it. I like the fact that it will take me from summer, to fall...straight into winter. I have on wedge heels here, but you can't see them lol and a long tank. You HAVE to wear something that will tuck into this skirt so you can see the back detail or you will really be A$$ED out as my girl said lol. In the winter I can layer it with one of my knitted items and some pointy toe boots. Yep....nice! LOL
And a couple of details. The hem. I wasn't sure what type of hem to do on this....all hems are NOT created equal so I asked the expert and she told me to do it this way...
Even though you can't see it...lol, it's topstitched. The thread is the EXACT same color, but it did allow me to "practice" the technique.
and the wrong side....
I did take these pics as SOON as I finished the skirt, so you may see a few "loose" threads that I didn't pull out....rest assured they are gone now lol
While on the subject of "sewing" here is some fabric I have been stashing.....
I got this from Gorgeous Things. I had one project in mind for it, but I think I'm going to change my mind, and use it for something else.... but umm, we shall see lol...
Some random demin....some for my guachos, and some for the girls.....
Love the colors of this....
lovely berry stripe.....
berry tshirt-ing fabric.....
and this grey stretch that is TDF!!! The first pic shows the EXACT color....
The next I over-exposed it so you could see the "sheen" on it...
This stuff feels FANTASTIC. It has a nice stretch and will make a nice pair of pants!
KNITTING.....
Here is a progress shot of Flair...
I'm about to make the third button hole. I only knit at night and in the car pool lane, so hopefully next week I will be done. I am aiming at next Friday the 31st....
How about some YARN p0rN???
Blue Sky Alpaca Silk for my Somewhat Cowl. LOVE THIS YARN! OMG. It is SO soft. In a nice soft grey colorway....yuuummmmm
Rowan Cotton Rope for my Spicy Fitted V-Neck Tee from fitted knits.
SCRAPPING....
LOOK WHAT CAME TO MY HOUSE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!
Yes my new toy is here! I will NOT open this until Saturday night or Sunday. If I open it BEFORE then, I am DONE. I won't do anything else, and I still have photos to edit from this week!! LOL It came SUPER fast. I ordered it the day it was on the air (dont' EVEN remember the date) and they said if they got my check by the next few days, I should have it by the 29th...so I mailed my check the next day and BAM, it was at my house yesterday! GREAT service! I can't wait to play with it so I can give you guys a review!
Alright, this post has been LONG enough. Have a great weekend! Stay safe and cool!
Toodles!
**DIGITAL UNDERGROUND- HUMPTY DANCE**
I am jamming to Humpty! Ok... now I'm going to sleep.

I LOVE your skirt!! Really like how it fits close from the knee up and it dips in the back! Very nice! Definitely would go well some your knitted items!
Speaking of which the flair is coming along nicely and I am still waiting on my yarn so I can CO eventually! :op WEBS is moving slow! What is up with that?!?

I love the skirt! It's really cute. Your stomach is definitely flatter than mine and I don't have any kids! LOL!
Good sale on the Quickutz. I think I have done enough damage to my bank account so I will pass.
Love the fabric! I can't wait to see what you make.
The yarn is scrumptious! I can't wait to get home and work on my crocheting myself.
Oh Humpty! That song used to get a party going for sure! Ah! Those were the days! LOL!

Posted by: stephanie | August 24, 2007 at 10:44 AM
Wow I have a lot to say for this post, but I will try to condense. First off...that skirt is gorgeous and so versatile! It fits so well in front, but the surprise in the back is the best! Let it shine.
I love all the fabrics and yarns, but I think the stripey fabrics are my favorite. I can't wait to see what becomes of them...
Posted by: Frank the Reindeer | August 24, 2007 at 10:47 AM

That skirt is *fire*! I love it. The dip in the back is so cute.
Oh and the alpaca/silk is the softest combo from Blue Sky Alpacas. I absolutely adore it. That will be nice and soft.
Posted by: Wanda | August 24, 2007 at 11:24 AM
Love the skirt! It looks very professionally made and it is very flattering as well. Love that color of Cotton Rope! I gotta finish my spicy fitted tee so I can tell you how I did it!

And hey, what is AIM? Now perhaps that's why I haven't updated that (whatever that is) yet, LOL. You gotta love me (and forgive me.) I'm too silly, aren't I? I'm sure it's something I probably use a lot, right? Tee hee.

BTW, the skirt is very cute! I love the back and concur with the comments about how it fits in the back! You should make another one since it looks like it would make a great wardrobe staple.
