It's February!

As always when the month ends and another starts you always ask yourself...where did the time go?

I made a little progress on my January UFOs.  I am hoping to finish up this weekend and I'll show pictures then.

What's the number for February?



And what is that for me?

 The Sunflower Quilt/Wall Hanging was on last year's UFO list.  So I am determined to get it done this year
We put the Bomber Jacket on hold last year because Madden was little and I wasn't sure if the parents were still in love with it.  Well I mentioned it last night and they are excited.  Lilac was the color of choice and wouldn't you know it..that is in my stash!!


Look at this jacket... doesn't it just scream cuteness, specifically in lilac, light grey and light green?

Or how about this little piece of cuteness?


Light purple with grey accent?



I also decided to do a more practical challenge this year.  I am going to try the 2018MakeNine challenge.  Basically throughout the year you will make 9 outfits that can be a staple in your wardrobe.  I have bought so much fabric from NY when I have visited and I really have not done very much with them.  And last November I had ordered from three shops and all I have done is moved the fabric from the box to the shelf.  I've got some patterns picked out and hopefully I can blog about this soon.

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Craft night!

Daughter #3 and I have been wanting to do a craft night for quite awhile. When our local studio offered this Map String Art class I knew we just had to go!  The class was set up to do the map in red, white and blue.  We didn't want to have two of the same thing so I decided to do mine in different colors.  I went out and bought ... you guessed it .. purple and white string!! We had so much fun!!  think they turned out pretty well!  Here's a close up of mine after I cleaned it up: This wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  They used this site for their inspiration: http://thetwinery.com/2013/08/inspired-by-pinterest-map-twine-art.html I think I'd like to do one of our home state of Kansas next.  Pinterst had some pretty good sites; http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2014/10/missouri-love.html#_a5y_p=2693507 And finally here's a picture of our class: I can't wait for our next craft night!!

Capsule Wardrobe

I have thought about doing a capsule wardrobe for quite awhile.  Now that the season is changing I thought I would see if I can make it work.  I scoured the web and Pinterest for information.  I found this great site that at least helped me find a starting spot.   One of the tips was to chose a base color, black or blue and go from there.  Black was the obvious choice for me. I need to say that I decided to start this project at 9pm at night.  I decided to clean out my closet at 9pm, was I crazy?  Yes, but I forged on... I cleaned out my closet, then I started with pants, skirts, tops etc.  I used the website to help me figure out what I needed.  Long sleeve knits, in three basic colors, grey, white and black.  Same for the short sleeves.  Then I moved to the next thing skirts, three skirts, grey, black and denim.  Next was sweaters, grey, black....are you starting to see a pattern?  I realized as I moved through the ...
