I have this beautiful niece who gives me clothes that she no longer wears or doesn't like and this week she gave me this really cute strapless dress with a side zipper. I love it but for me I knew I would never be comfortable wearing it without some sort of strap. I had this scarf that I had found while thrifting a while back and decided to try some different ways of adding it to the dress for straps. I sewed and seam ripped and sewed some more before I decided to do plain old straps.

I love looking at the clothes in the J.Crew catalog and while I was looking I came across this silk tank top and I remembered this vintage silk slip that I had found a while back, dug it out and decided I would turn it into this.

About a month ago I found this vintage lace slip that I fell in love with but wasn't sure how to make it fit me or how to wear it. I contemplated cutting the slip apart but some of you suggested I leave it as it is and wear a long sweater over it. Well today I found just the right sweater. I obviously had to sew in the bust of the slip a bit because I wasn't blessed with an overabundance in that area. I was a bit worried when I first started sewing but the slip turned out to fit very well and looks really cute under this sweater. And the bonus is that the sweater was also a thrift store find.

I have been looking at the future with a little apprehension, knowing that there are a lot of changes coming my way, hard changes, ones that cause me to want to climb back into bed and stay there until they all disappear. Well it doesn't work that way. Changes come with life, that's just the way it is. So I'm getting out of bed and going to be a big girl and face these changes head on.

I found these two sundresses at the thrift store and loved the material and thought they both could be used for apron material. I started with the red flowered tulle one and am still working on the blue one.

I found this Winston Dictionary at the Goodwill with my mom yesterday. She is a lot of fun to look at books with. Constantly picking up books that she thinks I need. Yes I walked out with a book with the title of "Simple Ways to Make Your Husband Feel Great". Oh Mom – you are so funny!

Ok I may be the only one that is excited about this but I found my very own sock monkey socks at the goodwill. Yep, they were brand new, never worn, ready to sew on a face and stuff to make it look like a sock monkey. I still need to find a pattern but am just so excited to get these started. Watch out my friends, one of these may be coming to you for your next birthday! I look at these socks and can just see the sock monkey smiling back at me.
