Thoughts

Today is friday...you know what that means..sewing class!  It's been a long week for me, so I wasn't nearly as excited as I usually am. I actually left class earlier, at 11..we were supposed to stay there until 2 p.m., but, alas, my heart wasn't in it. I bought some pumpkin soup for my mom and I and I've been interneting (what?) since then; you know, the usual, Facebook, Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest, favorite blogs, etcetera ,etcetera..

I hope to get inspired today to get some work in and finish a few pieces. I wonder if that's how God feels sometimes with us..will we give Him room today to keep working on our pieces? on what He started on the cross?..I'm so very glad He's so patient.

No pics today either..I've really got to get my game on! 

Happy weekend!

Mucho love,

Jane

A little upcycle action

Hiya,

So, the DIM upcycled skirt is done!!! I'm so happy, proud, excited and pumped!!! Someone, tranquilize me!!! STAT. This whole "learning to sew" stage of my life has been pretty cool I must confess. There have been a couple of ups and downs, but the good things in life usually involve some sort of roller coaster, right?

As I'm writing this, I'm laying on my bed wondering what else God has in store for me. I question Him daily..isn't that sad? I actually doubt He'll make good on His promises..I mean, He is God after all..He can't contradict Himself..but I realize I have a lot of room to grow..but I must be willing to.

Anyways, here's the finished product!! :) I'll try to do a little photoshoot with the skirt!! But I was so excited to post this, that I couldn't wait till tomorrow!!! Oh! I got the idea to make this skirt from this lovely tutorial. I'm hoping to actually make a skirt like the one she makes, but I got inspired to do my own little version of it! I added an elastic at the waist too! :) You'll get the full gist of it when I upload a few pics of me wearing it!

Upcycled Black Knit Skirt
Ay!!! I almost forgot!! :) I don't know about you, but I love Barbies. When I was younger I was all about them!! I used to love changing their clothes and making a mess of their hair, and marrying them to the Kens! Ah! to be a kid! Anywho, I found this wonderful, splendid tutorial through, you guessed it, Pinterest. I made some Barbie skirt y'all! And I am full on loving them! You have got to check out her blog! It's soooo awesome!!!


Mucho love,

Jane

Lovely to meet you

Studying, estudiando...falling in heart!

I can barely understand what this is talking "aboot". It's a whole new language I know nothing about and it's exciting and scary and wonderful all at the same time (I should probably get that straightened out). What is "couturiere", "pespunte", and "muescas" mean? I have no idea...yet; and it's in that little word that rests the beginnings of a brand new experience, the sewing experience. Stay tuned, this might get "couturiere"...

Mucho love,

Jane
