Notes from the Past

Music notes from the past, that is. 😉 Today we’ll be going down the vintage road again, and taking a look at some sheet music from days past. Let’s get started! These are the three music sheets we’ll be looking at today. Oh, and since I have a whole stack of music sheets such as this, there may be more…

Long Denim Skirt, Styled

Hello! Today I’ll be going a little out of order and showing the finished product of my last Simply Saturday post. (I say out of order because there are still two or three “in the making” posts to explain how I made it that need to be written.) In other words, my new long denim skirt, styled. Let’s get started!…

Sewing Project: Long Denim Skirt

Hello again! Today I’ll be talking about the first steps I took in making one of my latest sewing projects: a long denim skirt. Let’s get started! I used the same pattern as this skirt, only the long version. Here’s a link to the pattern, which is made by Marie Madeline Studios. Before I started cutting out pieces from my…

The Rose Years

Hello! Today is the last post in a series I’ve been doing about books connected with Laura Ingalls Wilder. So far we’ve talked about books written about her great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and Laura herself. Today’s series is about her daughter, Rose. Otherwise known as The Rose Years. Let’s get started! Unfortunately, this is another series where I don’t actually have…

Denim and Mustard Dress

Hello! Today on Modest Monday I have a combination of denim and mustard (the color, of course 😉 ). Let’s get started! These photos were actually taken last spring. Somehow they never made it onto the blog. Until now, that is. I did wear this same combination just a week or two ago, so it’s still something I’d wear. 🙂…

Sewing with a Dress Form

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing some of the sewing project I’ve been working on recently. Plus a little about sewing with a dress form. Let’s get started! Here you can see both the project and something I’ve been excited about: a dress form! I received it as a Christmas gift a few weeks ago. I haven’t had too much time…

Calligraphy Made Easy

Hello Again! Today on Reading Wednesday (even though it’s Thursday 😉 ) I’ll be sharing something a little different: Calligraphy Made Easy. Let’s get started! One of my goals this new year is to work on getting a little better with some of my hobbies/skills. Calligraphy is one of those things I enjoy doing, but I’m not too confident that…

New Year’s Eve Outfit

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing my New Year’s Eve outfit! Let’s get started! Now, it might seem strange to some that I was wearing short sleeves in December. It’s not too strange, considering where we live. As I look outside right now, it looks like a blizzard. But, that’s just the way it is! I did end up pairing this…
