New Business Cards

Tadda!!!!!! Aren’t they the cutest??? I just ordered these awesome business cards. When they arrived I was so very pleased with the results. It was my first time ordering from Zazzle so I was a bit nervous. But they turned out just the way I like them. Throughout the years, I’ve ordered business cards from several different online sites. Moo,

Shopping At Fashion To Figure

If I had my wish I’d wear jeans and a t-shirt every single day. Throughout the years it’s been a challenge to find jeans that work well with my figure…they are either too long, give me a terrible muffin top, or just make me look like an oompa loompa. I am 5’1″, 197 lbs. and have more curves on my

Baking Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thankfully, my children have low expectations when it comes to my cooking. It is clear to them that I’m not a gourmet chef. So when my son asked me to bake him a batch of chocolate chip cookies, I felt little to no pressure to start from scratch. Pillsbury to the rescue! These 24 pre-cut cookie dough chunks came in handy

Sewing A Circle Skirt- 2nd Attempt

Success has been achieved! With this second attempt at a circle skirt I decided to use a true elastic waistband. That made the construction soooo much easier. It’s about three inches longer than my first skirt. I decided to add length because I have a rather large backside and the skirt hikes up in the back. So, adding length prevents

Audrey Hepburn said it best: “Paris is always a good idea.” And I’m sure that Paris in the spring time is the BEST idea. So, on a recent shopping trip to Joann Fabric and Crafts Store I got my fill of all things Audrey Hepburn with its Paris- inspired home decor. Aren’t these decorative trunks great!!?? I can think of

Sewing A Circle Skirt

It’s been three months. I pulled out my sewing machine from the corner, wiped away the dust and dedicated myself to learning how to sew. Since December, I’ve been addicted to seams, fabric, and notions that help me perfect this craft. It started with pillow cases and progressed to infinity scarves. Now that I’ve perfected those accessories, I decided to

Handmade Tulle Skirt

Miss Gigi Dressform really  needed a new outfit. So, off to Joann Fabric’s and Crafts store I went to find some tulle to create a new tutu. I purchased a black ribbon to attach the tulle. After cutting the tulle I tied alternating pink and purple strips to the ribbon. Gigi didn’t have a top to go with her new

A Little Scarf Crazy

What an easy sewing project this was! Admittedly, I’m a bit of a scarf addict. I wear them year round. It’s a shameful the number of scarves I have hanging in my closet. So, I’m in big trouble now that I’ve taught myself how to make them. I found a few bolts of jersey knit fabrics in various color schemes.
