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.

Simplicity 2706.
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.

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. :)
This skirt started off as a McCall's 5430 wrap skirt but the waist band looked awful (due to beginner sewer error I'm sure!) . I salvaged the bottom half of that skirt to make this skirt. I tried putting in an invisible zipper but after many failed tries to get that right, I decided to just go with an elastic waist. This pattern was easy (other than the zipper part- again, due to beginner error). I like the dark denim I used but I think the skirt looks too plain as is. I'm still trying to figure out how to add some interest or embellishment.

Canonet 28. Simplicity and style.
I always ask about a camera's history. The only thing the seller could tell me, was that it belonged to a journalist.
There was still film inside, so I'll develop that, but it needs a PX625 1,35V for proper metering. Now it shoots at 1/30s.

The San Francisco Transbay Terminal is set to be demolished and will be closed August 7th. On Friday, July 30th sections of the Transbay normally closed were opened up to the public for one last look. This was a prop that was set up in the once open diner that featured a U-shaped counters and old 50's style stools. I had a chance to sneak in a few photos on my lunch break.

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...
... 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 ;)

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.

Moss Rose. Simple little flowers open with the sun each morning and close at the end of the day. They come in many colors, but white has always been one of my favorites. I couldn't keep my eyes off this one. When planted with mixed colors I feel I have a new gift each morning. Each day gives a new arrangement.
