Walk the Plank PJ’s
I love Patterns for Pirates ! The next pattern I decided to use is actually a free one so it doesn’t get better than that. Son doesn’t have many needs or wants, but I traditionally try to re-stock his PJ’s…

Finlayson Sweater for Man
Thought I would do some man sewing. I downloaded a beautiful .pdf pattern from Thread Theory called the Finlayson Sweater. I really like their selection of men’s patterns. The site, especially the photography, is just beautiful. The products and packaging…
Christmas Sewing 2017
Christmas Dogs! As I believe I might have mentioned, I’m beginning to enjoy sewing. Christmas and dogs are both very close to my heart so when I “happened” to be walking through the local fabric store, Hub pointed out this…
Girls Night Out in Purple- 2017
This is the third year that a group of us will attend the “Violette Femmes – Girls Night Out” charity event in Almonte, Ontario. All funds raised go to assist Lanark County Interval House in establishing and delivering programs to…
Sew & Wear – first time.
I can sew! Well, sort of. Things are coming back to me. Well, not coming back exactly since I never really knew them, but it is all vaguely familiar. Such as they are, I have decided to wield my new…
Gnomes Halloween 2017
In early October, I actually started thinking about our Halloween costumes ahead of schedule! After placing so many little gnomes in the garden this summer, I thought, hey, why not? We could be gnomes! And since I seemed to have…
Sock Hop Halloween 2016

Slasher Halloween 2015
This year for the Annual Halloween Bash™ I made our Halloween costumes from a rather random selection of items from the Value Village Halloween costumes section of the store. I found these really long, Victorian type jackets that were really,…
Chimney Sweep Halloween 2014
So the Annual Halloween Bash™ costume party is still a thing at my brother and sister-in-law’s house. For past few years, we shopped around looking for ready made adult couple Halloween costumes with limited success. My complaint is mostly because…
Halloween 2013
UPDATE 2022: I was looking at this older post, and I noticed that our halloween costumes in 2013 were not only exceedingly ill-fitting and uncomfortable, they were also troublesome in terms of cultural appropriation. Therefore, I made the decision to…
SteamPunk Halloween 2012
So this is the time for me to review our adult couple Halloween costumes that we purchased from buycostumes.com. Every year, my brother and sister-in-law host a Halloween costume party for grownups. Before I started attending these events, I was…
King & Queen of Hearts Halloween 2010
This year is the first time that we went all in and dressed up for Halloween as grown-ups (allegedly). This is the first year we attended a Halloween party hosted by my brother and is wife (devil & angel). We…
