To Make and Do

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Ours was pretty relaxing. We did some shopping at Costco. And had lunch at Del Taco. Jess really like Del Taco. He said that if there hadn't been a Del Taco near us we wouldn't have moved out here. I doubt that he would have turned a job down but I guess you never know. We stayed home on Saturday, had some drinks and made pizza. I decided I'm not going to do any heavy drinking for a while. I'm really bad at mixing alcohols. I made myself sick. I was feeling pretty bad on Sunday. Not hung-over just having stomach issues. I though t eating would help but it didn't. Or maybe it did. I threw up afterwards and felt a lot better. I guess sometimes we just need to get things out of our system.  I had to take it easy for the rest of the day. I eat a lot of crackers and drank like a gallon of water. I was pretty tired too. I'll enjoy the occasional beer but no more mixed drinks.

Yesterday I felt a lot better. I finished two of my skirts.  I needed to make button holes but had been putting it off. With my old sewing machine it was really easy to make button holes. I loved that sewing machine unfortunately Singer stopped making that model. This new sewing machines is good but just not the same. Oh yeah, I lost the pedal to my serger. I knew it was misplaced but since it's a Singer I figured that I could use the one from my sewing. Nope. It doesn't fit. I guess I'll have to start looking for  used one.

I decided to start making a To Do/Make list.  I figure this might motivate me to finish my projects. I need to make some more casual pieces. I've been wanting to make some vintage inspired jeans. Kinda like the ones Freddie's of Pinewood jeans. There's a couple of patterns that lend themselves being altered. Here's my to do list.


To Make:
* Make sun glass case
* Make liner for straw bag
* Make off shoulder ruffle blouse
* Make a house dress
* Make an A-line petticoat.

Today I'm going for my hair cut. It's long overdue and I'm tired of the frizzieness that I get during the drier weather. I think I need to condition a lot better or do some treatments.  I leave you with some cuteness.

    2. Thank you. I've noticed that people do look younger once they stop drinking. My brother was a party animal once he graduated high school. out at parties and clubs everynight. He started to look jaundiced and really old. He looked old enough that they didn't card him and he was only 18. Yeah it was pretty bad.

  3. I try and only drink on special occasions because si it does really age you. Por que crees que todas las de aqui se ven rete viejas? Del taco sucks! but gabachos love fake tacos. My ML goes crazy for them. I prefer tacos de verdad.
    Your gatito is always doing adorable cosas.
    besos

    1. I think from now on I'm going to do that. I like their bean and cheese burritos and I usually don't like burritos. But yeah, tacos caseros are the bomb.
