Love Is…
Some days I just want to punch Danny in the face. Other days… he shows me what love is. In this case, love is regularly pulling my nasty hair out of the drain. We’ll set aside the fact that he used my crochet hook this time to do so… but really. If that’s not love, I don’t know what is. :) Okay, okay… maybe it’s just him fed up with the fact that I don’t do it… :/ But either way, he does it and doesn’t bug me about it. And that’s awesome in my book. OH… and love is also my new bathing suit. We’ll just remember this as the time a blogger got me to buy something. I can’t for the life of me remember who’s blog it was, but she was wearing this suit and I almost instantly went on and bought it. Not modeling it for you… but you get the drift… so adorable! Can’t wait to get back to California so I can actually get some use out of it! …
Stitch Fix #2
Happy Hump Day! Time flies! It’s already been a month since I got my first Stitch Fix box! Got this one on Friday… and it was neat because they definitely read your feedback – and look at your Pinterest boards. Crazy world we live in, I tell you! I actually wasn’t as excited about what I got in this one as the last one… but from what I’ve read they get better over time as they figure out what you like. Ark n Co Bellatrix Embroidered Detail Maxi Dress | $88 | Status: Going back On the note, she said this was her out-of-the-box choice for me, and that she’d noticed a similar dress on my Pinterest board (I’m assuming this one). I definitely like where she was going with this, but the fit was all off. Even if I were to alter it, I can see this as one of those dresses that I say I like and that I’ll wear but then never do. Danny’s reaction to this one was “little Dutch boy suspenders” … …
Sleepy Shorts
I took Alisa’s advice yesterday… :) I didn’t know what to sew and she said make what you need most in your closet. Simple advice and yet so true! And what do I need most right now!? Pajama shorts! A simple project but much needed! I took Ruthie’s lead and used my McCALL’S M6848 pattern – view D. I had just enough of this blue gingham fabric from my grandma stash to make these. They’re super comfy – I’ll definitely be making more! Until next time,
