My summery little black dress. Love the pattern - the instructions were straightforward (shocking for a Simplicity pattern!) and it's really wearable. The little details at the sleeve and waist really make the dress.

Sewed this for my trip to Japan as is warm there, & I don't have many summer tops. Not sure about this one..makes me look very broad, though I'm sure the sleeves will settle down!?

I edited this shot using Kim Klassen's texture "Awaken" for an assignment in an e-class "Beyond Layers" class by Kim Klassen. I was late getting started into the class so I kinda combined several of the classes to create this image. I am enjoying and learning so much in this class. In this assignment I was to create an image depicting six words about myself. I chose "The Simplest Things Make Me Happy" for several reasons.
1. I do love the simple things in life.
2. I love the simple things in nature like these berries.
3. I get so much joy when I learn to do something simple like adding words and texture to an image.

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
Fishing is much more than fish, it is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers. -herbert hoover
Somewhere in Northwest Iowa...either Clay or Palo Alto County...this house sits as a symbol of the simplicity its farming owners embraced.

This photo displayed the largest amount of simplicity out of the ones that I took. I really like there is golden light on the spire that contrasts with the shadows on the opposing side of it, none of my other photos were able to show the contrasting light as well as this one. In light room I slid the shadow slider left, Significantly raised the temperature, increased vibrance and decreased saturation, and slid de-haze to the right. I was trying to create a warm happy mood.
Simplicity 2892 with Horner voile. This is the third thing I've made this month for me, so I'm very proud of myself. This will be my shirt for the 4th of July since I think it looks like fireworks. :)

My house is called "Simplicity Cottage," and it's located in the middle of some peaceful woods. I've really been working towards having less physical stuff in my life, so I only used the contents in my wallet that made me feel at peace. This included a Westchester Parks ID card, the college ID where I met my husband, the library card where I read with my daughter, and some floral stamps. What's more telling is what didn't make it: money, my business cards, credit cards, insurance cards, MTA cards - all the elements of my life that keep me moving somewhat faster than I'd probably like to be.
First pic is cottage, second shows all the other stuff...

I sort of like that blue plaid one. I think I saw it once on a "Bonanza" rerun.
My mother's wedding dress was made from a pattern similar to this, but hers had full lace sleeves instead of fitted ones.
... took suggestions on lighting from "Mistur " (thanks so much) and had a positive outcome - NO PHOTOSHOP on this image! I have never quite seen a tulip open quite like this one, you may see future images of the same flower ;)
