DOING SOME THINGS while in lockdown

SELF CARE & DIYs

A FEW small SEWING PROJECTS
I will say it has been a chance these last weeks to get into finding new things to do or try. Last week
it was a requirement that we have to wear masks when going to the grocery stores or pharmacy, also when taking public transport.

So making face masks was something to do , luckily I received as a gift a new sewing machine
which I have used a few times. This time it was for making face masks and some lavender sachets.
simple things that make a difference! The lavender sachets are for the lavender I have dried and can hang in the closet, it is such a divine fragrance. The smell is also helps to sleep if you
are having trouble to sleep. It is such a soothing smell.

I use to sew a lot before, things for kids, summer shorts and hats, baby quilts etc.
Now getting back into sewing is a bit like therapy. It is enjoyable and passes the time for now. It can be one way to be creative if you are the creative sort.

So if your sewing machine is sitting in some corner gathering dust, perhaps try a few simple sewing projects during isolation.

Have FUN!
and share your sewing project ideas

PS; a few more sewing projects
NEW cushion covers??

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
