Part of last week we were having quite a heat wave, and being both a weather whimp and pregnant, I decided to stay at home hibernating in front of the air conditioner.  It’s been a while since I’ve done much sewing, so I decided to put my home time to good use and make some skirts. Here is one of six I made in a two day period. The fabric is thrifted vintage (as are most of the fabrics I use for the skirts I make). It has a stretchy elastic waist and full skirt, so that it can fit a lot of different sizes (I labeled it Size 1X-3X).

 

I am also excited that I was able to do a photo shoot! Pregnancy lately has been a kick in the butt. Today was a good day and I tried to put it to good use with pictures and a trip to the gym. Think positive that there are more days like this in the near future, before baby comes!

Out Takes: In The Shade

These Out Takes come from a photo shoot originating in a post entitled, “Summertime Blues” posted on June 28, 2013. I miss this overgrown backyard at my dad’s house. Taking pictures in the shade with all my dogs bugging me while photo bombing my shots (find the dog butt in one of the above pictures?). Now, that backyard is missing the big shady tree that my dad had to have cut down and combined with the severe California drought, a lot of the foliage has dried up. It’s not the same backyard I grew up with until just a few years ago… But, that’s life, things never stay quite the same forever.
