I think.. anyway.. stuffing nose and sore throat...Dayquil is great, but it still makes me drowsy... I am hoping that I can get rid of this illness by Wednesday so I can get some work done.

Working Hard

Last week was a very busy week for me. There was so much going on with creating an 80's outfit for my daughter, getting my family organized for our Mother's Day dinner and also just spending time with my family. I was very blessed to be able to spend Saturday afternoon and evening sewing up some handbags with my daughter. She decided that she finally wanted to sit down and make some catnip squares for the cats. So from 1 o'clock to almost 8 we sewed and sewed and sewed. Well, she didn't sew as much, she went outside for an hour and rollerbladed and played with friends. That little bit of time we spent together was a joy. We didn't argue, we sat there and talked a bit and enjoyed each other's company. In that time, we also were able to put together 3 bags (a denim Massie, a Amy Butler Print Jenni and a tan linen Mascara) and about 4 cat nip toys (she did more talking than working). The bags will be photographed very soon.. Hopefully before it rains tomorrow.. then they will be listed on the website for purchase.

80's Creations

If you read my previous blog on the 80's, I am sure you are waiting for the pictures from the school dance last week. Well here they are. My daughter informed me earlier in the week that not many students or parents were going to dress up, so I held back and did not go "ALL OUT" in accessorizing and dressing up for the event. Here is a photo of my daughter in her tutu. She loved the earrings so much that she is still wearing them.

Belts

Finally, I have posted the belts on the website. Come by and check them out. I think they are adorable and are a perfect match for your handbag. While looking through some remenants this morning for another project I got going, I found some more fabric that I can make into belts.

I love the 80's

Yes, I was an eighties baby, but I don’t really remember much about my youth let alone the horrible fashions I am sure I was dressed up in by my mother. My daughter wants to go her school social next week. The theme… “Dress like your favorite decade”. Well I knew everyone would probably do the 50’s and the 70’s so I told my daughter we were going to do the 80’s.




I am very excited to be making our outfits for the party and I hope to get them started and finished over the weekend. Her outfit will consist of a cute little tube dress with a tutu, some pink tights and some funky and bright jewelry. Of course she’ll bring back the infamous side ponytail for just one night only.















My outfit will be little less 80’s, but still 80’s enough. I will have on an off the shoulder shirt dress with a pair of tights. I am hoping to find stirrups… remember
those???? I’ll have the same loud, chunky jewelry on and a cute belt for the dress. I hope to find some heels for the event.


I do not not if my husband is coming, BUT I hope he does join us. I already have is outfit picked out..... Miami Vice anyone??? He would make a very nice Detective Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs I hope to get these done and of course posted when we take pictures the day of the party.
