Hi all! I've been lost in work and travel since the holidays and still going. I'm on the last leg of my job and, as grateful as I am to have work, I'm ready to be home for a bit. I want to veg on the couch, hug my dog and spend some QT with the husband!
And of course-sew! I've been knitting while on the road, which is good, as it relaxes me. I should have a finished project up tomorrow as well, yay! Right now, I'm mentally rifling through my fabric stash trying to decide what to sew when I get home. I'm thinking a circle skirt, cause I have a lovely black wool that's taking up a lot of space. I just need a lining fabric for it. I've never made one before, but I think I'll use Casey's tutorials from her sew along. Seems easy enough.
Not being able to sew, I've been living vicariously through the many sewing blogs that abound, patiently waiting my turn to contribute to the blogosphere. I've really enjoyed being a total lurker, and found some great blogs!
Special thanks go out for entertaining and inspiring me the last few months on the road:
the sometimes seamstress
I just love Kirsty's self-deprecating humor, and the recent Sencha!
Idle Fancy
Seriously cute clothes, very inspiring. That cameo inspired dress still gets me!
Ms P
A refashioning master! Love the less is more, and making pretty things out of uglies.
So Zo, What do you know?
May be the quickest seamstress on the face of the planet, how does she do it? Also, love her semi-political rants about the clothing industry, definite food for thought.
By Gum By Golly
Wow, she is quite the powerhouse knitter, great vintage style and a newbie seamstress.
Did you make that?
Have you seen her recent coat? So lovely. And lots of Brit charm I can't get enough of :)
Lladybird
One of my absolute favorites for the biting humor, non-apologetic cursing, and damn cute makes!
Masustak Eguzkitan
A new find, fashionable outfits, great styling, love the glimpse into Spain!
This is by far, not a comprehensive list, just means I'm still mid-lurk, hehe!
We're wrapping up this work adventure back in Florida, where I was raised, though the other side of the state. But, it still reminds me how much I love it here. Not to piss anyone off that's fighting wintry weather, but it's about 70 degrees outside and blue skies, so pretty! I'll leave you with these travel images...

I just love old Florida, how kitschy!
