Women’s Clothing Month!
Posted by: Lizzie
Yay! May is Women’s Clothing Month at Sew, Mama, Sew! I am hoping to have time to participate. Last summer I tried desperately to make a couple new tops for myself, but failed miserably. I have those half-finished wads of fabric stuffed into random corners of my sewing room. With luck, I may be able to salvage some of it and create something wearable.
Lots of luck!
In any event, I am getting my rear in gear this month with all of my crafts. February and March found me in somewhat of a slump. I haven’t given up on the quilt, but with Simon turning two, it’s rare that I can sit down for extended periods of time, let alone with a needle in hand. He’s quite the monkey and I’d rather not run the risk of poking him with a sharp thing while he’s practicing his acrobatics.
I’m still working on a couple of crochet projects and I even started a little sweater for my childhood best friend’s baby girl due soon.
But this week, I must help Jamie clean the house to prepare for our annual May Day Party! He’s been working really hard while I adjust to some new medications. I hope to be back to my old/new self again by tomorrow so I can do some cooking for this party. My awesome knitting/cooking buddy is coming over tonight to help me finalize the menu. I have in mind a homemade salsa and perhaps a bean dip. My cabinet is always overflowing with several varieties of beans so we’ll see what we can come up with. I also want to attempt some marinated olives. Yumyumyum.
Well. I should get back to the Laundry Monster in my living room. It’s taking over and I fear this house will never look decent if I don’t suck it up and fold.
Happy May Day everyone!

Hello Suzy, I’ve added you to my weekly geek list. This post about sewing is interesting I’m going to check it out . I’ve made a few bits of clothing in the past.
