Christmas in April

Yep, it seems to happen every spring. Snow in the spring to remind us Christmas is on its way.
This is what it looked like last week. A blizzard that lasted for the day. Luckily for us it melted shortly and today we have sunshine. Yippee!

DI Update

I found this jacket/shirt at DI for $4.00. It was a good blue color and the fabric was like a suede. So I did what my daughter taught me to do...I cut off the collar! Now it is a mandarin style neckline and will go better when I put it on over my other shirts. Kinda fun and I didn't worry about ruining it since it only cost $4! Try updating your shirts!

It actually looks different from the pattern because I made some changes. I have been using a green diaper bag as a purse because I liked all the pockets! Sewing knowledge comes in handy once in a while. It will do for now until I can afford a Vera. . .
