new outfit

We have had this skirt forever.......it has been a really hard skirt to find a top for.....you know the kind........you get a skirt and look at it for 7 years and wish you had a top to go with it type skirt.........


so I made one for it..........I have found that I can do this particular pattern.........

I used to be afraid to do elastic around the neck.....but it isn't so bad.

Now I can do it with my eyes closed, but I doubt I ever need to.......so I won't.

Hi, I found you on another blog, and thought I'd 'hop' over!
I like the top..it reminds me of the one I made in home-ec in school...the one and only year I took home-ec...I'm mechanically challenged, and didn't get along well with the sewing machine!

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived.
