Pretend Wish list

Lots of times I will see things that I really really like but don't necessarily need or even want, I just think they are pretty. public bikes are one of those things. I already have a bike. I don't need a bike. But boy are these pretty. They just came out with their new colors: Salted Caramel, Blueberry,Pistachio, Lemon Drop and Grapefruit. Like them? me too.

For your Saturday

This looks fun!

Coolness

Well, of course you have to have cool wallpaper when you have a cool computer, and I found this one over at fossil. They have a bunch of other fun designs you should check out. Just wanted to say happy weekend and do something unexpected!

Progress

Well everyone, I finally did it! I got a computer. I bought it used from some people I know took really good care of it (hehe), see if you can guess who that is! Any way, it is now officially mine so I have to learn how it works and put it to good use. I don't think this means you will see much more techno improvements in my blogging but you never know maybe you will.

Have a good day!

Love,

Secret Sister

I really think that I could get into this "reality blogging", where I take actual photos of my projects, and don't just leave you with a vague idea of what I did! So with that said: our church ladies are doing a secret sister gift exchange where we all draw a name out of a hat and then pray for that lady and make them a gift. I was fortunate enough to draw the name of a dear sweet saint in our congregation named Lois. She is the spunkiest eighty-three year old woman I know and she is on fire for the Lord. She was a nurse during World War II and she still volunteers three days a week at the nursing home in town (I tell you that lady is cool :) Well my project I made her is a hand painting on canvas of her name (seen below) and will soon, I hope, be framed. (It's hard to see, but the "I" is a white daisy) So now, instead of trying to visualize it, or giving you a likeness found on the web, you can see the real deal for yourself. Enjoy!

Love, ~Cherry~

Update

So today I remembered that wonderful thing called technology, and wala, I now have a picture of the dress I made yesterday! And this isn't a picture off the web, this is one I took (be impressed).

On the Sewing Front

Well, I can't find any pictures, but I wanted to let you know that I sewed a dress last night out of the black and white diagonal check fabric! I really like it. I used a 1977 original pattern. It was meant to be a beach dress but it was for stretch knits and it is very modest, so no one will know... except you! I think I will get some black spandex to make a pair of leggings and use the extra to bind off the arm holes. So now I have a dress and a pair of pants... good thing summer is four months away still :) Well so long chums,
With love,
