Skirt weather has arrived, and oh, how I have missed it! I didn’t realize quite how much until I spent yesterday twirling around in my favorite a-line. Skirt-wearing brings a sort of effervescence with it that I find hard to capture in other ways. I suppose it’s just that it makes me feel “girly,” which […]
Read More: Joy in the daydreamAidan’s having a Raving Rabbids birthday party next weekend, and I wanted something special to wear. Hey, if the guys are getting t-shirts, it’s only fair that I get a new party skirt 😀 I had found the Rabbids images online, mirrored them, and printed them onto t-shirt transfer paper.

Is there such a thing as Skirtmakers Anonymous? It’s not so much that I like wearing skirts (although, I definitely do). It’s more that I like wearing skirts that I made. Have you seen some of the new skirts that Target has this season? I love them! But I’ve been passing them by on the […]

1. Making RTBC a regular feature, because, hey! cheer is contagious 🙂 2. Bitter Betty’s Strawberry Lime Jam, which I feel I really must try. 3. Finding enough leftover pieces of a favorite fabric to cobble together a skirt at 11:00 Saturday night, to wear the following day. And, having time on that particular following […]
Read More: Reasons to be cheerfulHello, Friends. Happy Fourth of July! I’m all about the last minute. Case in point: I made my holiday skirt this morning.
