I am a Gen X mom who loves to sew, craft, create, cook/bake, watch films and listen to a variety of music. I have a goal to create a "Me-Made" wardrobe. Disabled, but not unable to chase my dreams.
While hibernating, I did make this cool pillow, which is currently wrapped up for a birthday that's a couple months off. Pattern by Hooked by Kati

I haven't been here much. Mostly fighting over the blankets and visiting doctors.

Nearly finished these overalls today. I just need a couple of grommets for the bib ties, presently using safety pins. Pattern from Patterns for Pirates.

After a 3 day allergy test, all they could come up with was a reaction to the tape holding the test strips. So, I am still a mystery. 2 very different episodes of allergic reactions since late November, and still unknown to what.

So incredibly itchy. Allergy test strips have been on my back for 3 days. Unsure if I am reacting to the tape, or the chemicals. In the doctors office waiting on my reading and some anti-itch meds

Whipped up a couple loaves of Blake's Triple Berry Jam Hard Cider bread yesterday. One was a gift to the neighbor, the other was a sample, I had never baked this particular blend.

I have been making little mock outfits for my mannequin, Iris. She will be better dressed than I, at least in muslin.

Spent the day prepping patterns for future makes in my dining room by cutting and taping A4 pages. One pattern was 26 pages, the other 39. I was starting to get a bit frustrated toward the end, but I managed to get them done and cut out. I am now hoping that my arthritis will allow me to cut fabric

Sewed my own Birkin style Kelly Bag, a kit from Babylon Leather. Took me a couple weeks due to needing arthritis breaks, but she is done! Now I might need to sew myself a pretty frock to go with.

New Dryer arrives today. Not too soon, I have things to wash and dry before I leave tomorrow for Syracuse,NY, provided the stars align.
Map for reference, Flint is nearest larger town, so I have a bit more than that to drive.

Current view. He's taken up space on my chest and neck for the moment. Enjoying what little time I get, he's grown more attached now that he doesn't stay here fulltime.
