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.
