Because my fam hosts a dance in like a week and a half (link because: you’re invited) and you know what? I’m down for that challenge. Why accomplish anything unless you have tight deadlines, right? Jesus help us. I went to one fabric store earlier this week. The stuff was okay, but not great. SoContinueContinue reading “I just bought four and a half yards of material”

Her last name was “Happy”
Years ago, when I was in 4-H, there was a woman who would volunteer at the weekend events we would sometimes attend. We would attend maybe once or twice a year–doing our artsy thang in the love that is northern Michigan. This woman was a senior citizen; and she shared a first-name with my motherContinueContinue reading “Her last name was “Happy””
Still going still sewing
I was rereading through some of my blog posts, and I came across the one that was like, “BRB sewing LOL.” And I referenced this image: And this material: But, I was kind of a jerk and never showed the dress. BUT HERE IT IS, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE THINGS LIKE SEWING ANDContinueContinue reading “Still going still sewing”
Sewing Shenaniganz
Dude. I have a wedding this weekend. But, it’s not my wedding. Although, the director of the department did call out to my open-office environment last Friday, “Hey, Nell, when’s your wedding again?” All of the heads turned. Me: “Ummm, it’s not my wedding. I’m just going to it. To dance and stuff.” So, yeah,ContinueContinue reading “Sewing Shenaniganz”
What I Wore Wednesday | Dress
Things have been hipping and hopping and happening. Namely: all of our city and the neighboring cities have flooded and everyone has been hauling everything out of their basements and disposing of it on the curbsides. It’s tough, dirty work. Hard, too, since a lot of things are memory-things, now water-damaged and moldy and takenContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday | Dress”
Ginger Rogers, trips to the fabric store, and dress-dreams
I just got back from my New Year’s Retreat. And it was so good. So much good. So much that I wanted even more–more holy chats and more laughter and more sweet, silent prayers with my most loved Jesus who pours love and grace into my heart nonstop. You would think I would start typingContinueContinue reading “Ginger Rogers, trips to the fabric store, and dress-dreams”
What I Wore Wednesday: the most hipster outfit
Literally the most hipster outfit. I visited Lauren this weekend and she said they don’t really have a huge hipster population just yet. Well, hipsters are strongly settled in Detroit. And, truth to be told, I think hipsters are darling. The jumper makes this outfit, I bought it a few weeks back at a rummageContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: the most hipster outfit”
Lotsa Pope and a little bit of clothes
Hey my friends! Over the next month and a half I have not one, not two, but FOUR weddings to attend. Plus necessary other-events that go along with them (showers and the like). Tonight is one such event (Bachelorette partay, actually). So! This will be so short. I will give you some points to ponder.ContinueContinue reading “Lotsa Pope and a little bit of clothes”
What I Wore Wednesday
Today I’m wearing a vintage dress I bought at a church rummage sale. The fabric is light and summer; it’s covered in outdated-yellow polka dots that are speckled with an occasional teal. I think this dress is fantastic, even though it isn’t a perfect fit. The light-weight material is PERFECT for the summer. The flowContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Packing for Spain. Now with BONUS Paper doll!
We leave soon. 🙂 So soon. Some helpful people will say things like, “Let me know if I can help you pack, OK?” Thing is, on the Camino the goal is the least amount of weight you can carry. I don’t really have everything I need yet, but here’s a PAPER DOLL to show youContinueContinue reading “Packing for Spain. Now with BONUS Paper doll!”
