Whew! I'm back!

Whew, indeed!  I am super excited that the elections are over, and even more excited that the work we did this year really paid off.  It is mucho gratifying when you work that hard to get the results you wanted.

So, with the elections wrapped up, we move into the next thing, which is luckily much slower.  I am already plotting all the things that I will make and do as we get closer to the holidays.  This Friday, I will get back to Feature Fridays, which I am also excited about. 

The weather here has been pretty nice, only recently getting cold and wet.  I recently got a cool new bike mount for my phone and had to share some pics from the bike ride to work one of the nice fall days.

Can't wait to get back to posting!  More soon!

My weekend projects

Happy Friday and what a beautiful fall day it is!

I am so glad it is Friday!  I am super excited.  First, I am going to go watch my favorite A Capella group On the Rocks practice at UO.  They are great!  If you have yet to see it, this Lady Gaga cover they do is great (and kinda famous - over 7 million views!)

Then I am going to work on cleaning my house some and even get a massage!

And I am going to start working on two new sewing projects.

First, I am going to make myself this jacket out of my new-ish sewing book I shared with you all - Sew Serendipity. 

But I am making it out of this fabric....

I am so excited!

Also, I am making this skirt....

with these fabrics...

The green and brown fabric on the bottom will be the main color, and the busier fabric on top will be the contrast, with the brown satiny fabric on the very bottom as the ruffles.  Yay!

Have a wonderful weekend!
