and because everyone needs to see random things from me...Here's a picture of what children do when they find stuff in the closet:
Does anyone want to give me some decorating advice? My bathroom is: ugly. It has the most extensive collection of non-matching flesh-toned ceramic products I have ever seen.
And here's a picture of my favorite comfort food. Don't you just love the buttery sheen?
This was something my Nonnie used to make and I always loved it. It's macaroni, bacon, onions, and cabbage. mmmmm....
And I did sew some last night:
It's a dress for a butterfly-themed birthday party. It's an Indygo Junction pattern and goes together quick and easy. I don't have the intended shoulder closures, so I'll have to use snaps. I'm just *not* into buttonholes today, although covered buttons would look super cute...oh no. Now I've gone and put doubt into it - I'm going to have to look at my buttons.
I don't envy your bathroom dilema. When we moved in we had a bathroom suite in brown, one in terracotta and one in avocado. They are all replace now. It only took eight years!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks great. Funny, I avoided making buttonholes today too...didn't feel like it! I used snaps with the excuse that it was for a baby.
Well, I'm going on eight years, and that room's still fleshy, lol. And doomed to stay that way, I'm afraid. At least I only have one :-)
ReplyDeleteI totally put snaps on the dress!! I didn't have the right size buttons, anyway. Now I have to make matching pants and a gift for the birthday girl - yikes! I'm thinking the apron/chef's hat from Otto.
I have to clean them all though! I'd have one if it were up to me. As for the apron and hat, that sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour chidlren are very creative!
