First weeks of Me Made May

I wasn't really up for Me Made May this year, but as I started getting out my clothes I got a little more excited.  I realized that during the last two years, I had made some really great "staples" that work well in my wardrobe.  They are pieces that I really do like and I really do use them!

Week 1 was spent attending a conference in Spokane Wa.  I wasn't sure of the weather and I needed to pack lightly.  I took two tried and true items with me, my StyleArc  Elle pants and my StyleArc Estelle jacket.



Week 2 was a little easier as I was home and the weather turned really nice.  Once again they are the tried and true patterns.  The first one is Butterick 6185.  I made this for Allison as a costume.  She wanted to dress up as Wednesday Addams for a college Halloween party.  I liked the dress so much I decided to keep it when she left it in her closet after moving away!  The next is the old standby StyleArc Faye skirt and a Simplicity top pattern that is now out of print. I have had that top for so long and I still love it!   The final outfit from last week is the Shirt dress from the McCall's 2016 Sew-A-Long, M6885.




Two week down, three more to go!
(Maybe I'll find some time to stitch up something new!)

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...

Let's start again....

 WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't.  I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up.  Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post.  Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?"  Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels??  That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats".   What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again.   I am real...

July Happenings...

Since these are catch up posts for the month of July, here are the other happenings.... What do you do with all of those flowers left over from a wedding?  You decorate your house with them! Hubby had a birthday...  And a visit was made to see great-grandpa in Lawrence.  Someone loved moving the bed up and down.  Three generations of the Pacumbaba clan These mug rugs were made for hard working colleagues who had dealt with the fire recovery and are still dealing with the fire recovery.  The inspiration for the mug rugs came from here . Mimi got a new house cleaner... And as a reward she got to spend lots of time at the pool... eating snacks of course! And Mimi and Papa did some baby sitting...  We did not know we weren't supposed to play with Mama's makeup... And another visit was made to celebrate dad's birthday... And since it is July, it is peach jam time! We got our bikes out for the first t...
