Apron

What should I do with all tis left-over fabric and those old jeans with holes in the crotch? Well this is what I came up with. No pattern! This is my first truly original design! All it took was some experimenting, head-scratching, and a little bit of cursing.

This will look fantastic over my house dress!

Pants!

A little funny, but not bad. The sort of thing you'd be very excited to find marked 70% off with a tag that says "slightly imperfect". I'd buy them. Next time I'll use only one model instead of sizing them to fit a mix between me and my brother. That ought to solve some problems.

Fuzzy fleece for those cold, winter nights.

Holiday crafts!

It's winter break. That means more leisure reading, more fashion mags, and more crafting!

Stocking with characters from Rudolph, my favorite Christmas/clay-mation movie ever.

Really creepy bead and safety pin mini-tree topper/ornament.
This activity was a hit at the sweater party.


2nd Annual Holiday Sweater Party

Success! Although we missed Beth and her margarita pie, this year's turnout was great. We saw a lot of really great sweaters, some nice vests, and one really festive holiday sweatshirt. No better way to celebrate the end of the semester and the beginning of the Holiday season!

So much Holiday cheer.

Susan, Fin and ice sculpture.

A certain course reader is used as kindling for the fire.

Taylor and his quilted vest/Santa suit t-shirt ensemble win by a landslide. Congrats, Taylor!

No party is not complete without a craft. David agrees.

Leah and Sandra bring their A-game with homemade sweaters.

Jennifer enjoys a margarita by the fire.

Joy, Jeromy and Meghan play dreidel.
