Saturday Style

Happy Saturday, Everyone!

So for this style, you do the ponytail flip style (make sure you start it as a high pony. It will relax and slide down a bit.) but instead of just flipping your pony once, you're going to keep going,  flipping till only the ends of your hair are left. Then you tuck the ends and pin them in place. And it looks so nice. :) It reminds me of a Spanish Dancer type style. That might just be the big red flower. *Hmmmm.*

I really want to see this show. I came across the trailer a little while ago and I think it looks like it could be  pretty awesome. The idea really intrigues me. I mean, what would happen to the world if all power just stopped and didn't come back on? Plus, the Uncle looks super cool. *Grin.* All that sword fighting action...and those wicked crossbows! Sweet! I believe it's already airing on TV but I don't have cable so I'll have to wait till it's out on DVD. It's kinda a bummer. But then I can keep tabs on how the show's doing and if they don't get permission for a second season I wont already be hooked on the first. :) 

I'm almost done with my big sewing project. :-) I just have to do buttons and button holes. It's that split skirt I mentioned some posts ago. I've been working on it on and off for the last few weekends and I'm rather pleased with the way it's looking. The thing with sewing is, I get burned out pretty easily and I leave half-done projects sitting for months! It's terrible. I started a grey skirt back in-oh let me see. January? And it's basically done. I just need to do hemming and buttons. *Note to self. Finish that project. A grey skirt would be a welcome addition to my wardrobe.* I don't know why it's always the last bit that just does me in. I mean, the hard parts are done! Silly me. I will get the split skirt done as soon as possible and then I might post some pictures and gloat a little. Mrhrhrhr. 

Well, cheers! I'm going to make a little batch of cookies for tomorrow. I always like to have a cookie-maybe two- with my coffee on Sunday morning. It's ever so lovely!

God Bless!

Sew there

Every now and then I get the urge to do some sewing-usually in the fall and winter and usually when I have a particular outfit in mind that simply doesn't exist...yet.

I found THIS skirt a while ago and think it's one of the coolest ideas ever. (Please, go to the link. I can't find really good pictures of this wonderful skirt anywhere else and you really need to take a peek. lol. :) 

Seriously, how cool would it be to have a skirt that changes into a split skirt? Pretty freaking awesome! But the price is a little much...

But what's this? A pattern? Well, well, well! I can do that, surely. Or at least I can pretend I can do that and have my mother help. She's wonderful that way. ;) (I can sew...she just does it better. Not to mention how fast she is.)

So I now have yards of black material and I'm waiting not-so-patiently for the pattern to come so I can try my hand at this fascinating thing. 

I might make some changes. Or I might figure that pattern is confusing enough without getting fancy and just leave it alone. Only time will tell. 

Anyway, since I'm on the subject of clothes, I love this vest. I'm not really a leather type of girl (most of the time) but I think this one is pretty nice. It reminds me of medieval armor *Sssshh* I think I could make this work in normal clothing with turtal-neck shirts. It's cool. *Ahem.* Anyway. Just thought I'd share some of my peculiarities with you all. 

When and if I get that amazing skirt sewn (and provided it looks good! Hehe) I'll post some pictures. 

Take care. God Bless!
