New stuff

I am slow but I did it

This is what my new client wants, what she made on her own and what I am doing for her.

This was my first "run" since the 12 K and it was dark so I felt ok being super slow. I got a totally cool vest to wear for night. 

12 K's of Christmas and a functioning Fitbit

My new replacement fit bit is working so I can actually see what I did. It was tough but I "ran" the whole thing except one really steep hill. Now I have to decide if I am going to sign up for the half marathon.

sewing 300 of these rectangular labels on. 

5 miles

nothing spectacular but it was on the training plan. I also got use my new Versa fit bit so I can actually show that I ran. 

5 miles

Somehow I managed to invisible on the map but it did see that I ran 5 miles. Oh well.

Cami almost done

All in all pretty easy. I have fabric to make a white one now.  I am looking forward to wearing it.

the front of my cami

underpants done!

A little more "girly" than what I usually wear but they fit and I made them! I am working on a cami to match.  And yes, I have been painting every damn night.  But not in  my new underpants

proof of running

remember this?

I also sarted on a cami and underpants kit I got from Bravo Bella.
And I ran for 58 minutes.  Strava and Fit Bit malfunctioning but I will post it later

Remember this

drove by car fire on way to work but now working on bag

running and sewing

Sticking to the training plan. 38 minutes. But I had just eaten so that "interfered" with my timing

This is the skirt I altered for a client. I took 8 1/2" off!  She was wearing the waist around her boobs before.  What looks like a scarf is what I removed to shorten it.

I am going to make a bag or two now. Easy project

ran 5 miles yesterday

I have a training schedule started too. I signed up for 12 k's of christmas and I will sign up for that half today or next weekend.

I did some repairs for clients this weekend but I want to sew for myself tonight

fire pit

Last night I did not work out because we got side tracked with this getting finalized. I did do some sewing though - prep for an alteration I am doing.

in action

running and sewing

5 miles at break neck speed (for me). I found the old training book you (Mary) gave me years ago so I will use that to get ready for 12K's of Christmas and then the February Half.  You should do the 12K's too. Remember that year we were going to do it and it got snowed out>






This is the finished overall dress #1. I just felt like I was losing the look by adding stuff to it. So I kept it plain. I will have somebody at work get a shot of me in it tomorrow and post that. I will also send the article from sew news showing the overall trend

back at blogging

Ran 5 miles.




If I get time I will hem and finish my coverall dress tonight. I decided not to embellish it because it looks so good plain. Next one (that I have the coverall for), I will bedazzle it.

jeans skirt - just needs a hem.I will get a shot with it on later

new dress

I will do sleeveless with a white collar (or maybe no white collar). I think it will be fun for summer. The fabric is dark blue, I over flashed it when I took photo.
