Something Fun!

Lingerie, New Items, Sewing Patterns March 22, 2017

I’ve been busy!

I just finished updating the Jane & Lola patterns, and in the process (on a sick day I might add) I came up with an adorable idea…

Undies with animal ears!

I’m not the first person to have this amazing idea. Knickerocker has been making the most adorable animal undies for a while now.  I don’t plan on making these to order (ok, maybe I will by special request), so definitely check out Knickerocker if you’re in the market for a cute pair of cat-ear undies.

The thing I love most about this pattern is that the possibilities are pretty much endless… after I had made my first sample, Sonja from Ginger Makes gave me the idea of sewing Pug Undies. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself!

So… I’ll be periodically providing free add-ons for this pattern. I’ll be posting the Pug Add-On soon, and a Peter Pan Collar Add On as well. If you have any ideas, please feel free to leave me a comment and I’ll see if I can make your wishes come true! Here’s a quick sneak peek of the Add-On’s that I almost have ready…

You can purchase the Miyu Pattern, which comes with instructions for the Kitty and Bunny Ears HERE, or on my Etsy Shop.

A Sunny Sunday Game of Fetch…

Uncategorized February 19, 2012

I love my dog so much. He is the most precious thing in the world to me. I love how his ears flap when he runs – this picture captures it perfectly!

Watching my dog play fetch is watching 100% Pure Joy in action.

Link Love!

As you maybe could tell… I am off from work today, which means I am fully back to swing on my other job, Ohhh Lulu! I spent all morning photographing, and editing photos for my Sample Sale (with the help of my pug Oliver)! I still have lots more to do, but an taking a quick break for a little peanut butter on toast and a big glass of water.

Last month I was so excited to be on Craft Corner’s Best of the Web, along with some other great bloggers – including Krafty Kat! This blog has a great run down of DIY ideas from around the web. Check it out!
I also received a nice mention on Thin & Curvy, for bras for petite ladies. I spent quite some time browsing this blog, having a 28″ band myself (I am quite diminutive!) I know how hard it is to find nice petite yet cuvry clothes!

French Knickers…

Uncategorized August 14, 2010

I had the best day I’ve had in a long time today. I got up early, picked up Oliver from my parents and visited with my dad for a little bit, came home and made Dan bacon and eggs before he had to head out to work. I did pulled pork in the slow cooker, and have started two new pairs of chiffon french knickers, each in slightly different styles.
I also pulled out my mom’s rolled hem foot, and I am in love. I want everything in chiffon! French seams and rolled hems!
After dinner Dan and I took Oliver out for a walk around the block, the weather was perfect, my day was perfect, everything was pretty perfect.
I thought I was having a hard time adjusting to being in a new town, even though technically it’s an old town for me… today made me remember why I made the leap… now if only I didn’t have to return to my day job tomorrow!
I even managed to fit in a two hour nap with Oliver this afternoon… I can’t think of a better way to spend a day.

Head Tilt?

Uncategorized March 16, 2010

I caught Oliver in a near perfect head tilt last night.

I finished sewing a little dress, which I should be getting into instead of doing this right now… but I don’t have my priorities straight.

This dress was a nightmare, by the end I had ripped out the zipper three times, never got the fit quite right, and burned a hole in the back with my iron. Oh well, some dresses just weren’t meant to be.

I’m still going to wear it though; I’m going to wear it out of spite.

Lazy Sundays

Dan is hungover. I feel good, but sleepy from only 4 hours sleep. 364 more days until birthday party #34.
