{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 51-55, Mysteries 3-4, Super Special 8 and Reader’s Request Special}

August 28, 2020 by kelerr

As you can tell from the title of this post, there was A LOT going on in the world of the BSC for this installment of my rereads. Not only did I read the five requisite books, but there were two mysteries, a super special and a special edition reader’s request all about Logan! I can remember not really enjoying the special reader’s request, but I made a commitment to read all the BSC books in order, and it’s happening! […]

{Pattern Review: The Veera Dress}

August 25, 2020 by kelerr

It’s always really fun to find new pattern companies! Well, new to me in any case… some of the ones I find are new and some are simply ones I haven’t had the luck of coming across yet. Either way, I love discovering new (dress!) patterns to make! Recently, I stumbled upon the Veera Dress, from Tessa Roosa Patterns. I’ve had tons of fabric in my stash just waiting for the right pattern, and I thought that this one would […]

{Pattern Review: Sureau Dress}

August 21, 2020 by kelerr

I am constantly browsing Instagram to find new patterns to make. I love it when I stop and look at someone’s make, only to learn that it’s the same pattern that I stopped at and admired on another day or in another post. I love seeing different ways patterns can be made up and I love finding new ones that I want to try. More than once, this has happened with a Deer and Doe pattern, and it’s usually one […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 46-50, Super Special 7 & Mysteries 1-2}

August 18, 2020 by kelerr

Here’s a doozy of a BSC post, chockfull of more books than usual. I kept to the five book format, but in between those books was a new super special as well as two of the mysteries. I’ve been waiting for the mysteries to start, not because I remember them being particularly good, but because I wanted to see if they fit into the timeline I’ve been tracking or if they took place in a kind of “alternate mystery BSC […]

{Latest Makes: July 2020}

August 14, 2020 by kelerr

My July makes post is not a particularly exciting one I’m afraid, but at least there’s something to look at! Now that I’m doing pattern reviews for the new patterns I use, it gets harder to figure out where to fit in the makes from tried and true patterns. As most of my July sewing projects were new (or new-to-me!) patterns, I haven’t produced a ton of tried and trues. However, I did make this Sew Over It Marguerite dress […]

{The Phoenix Must Burn to Emerge}

August 11, 2020 by kelerr

I’ve been reading a lot of my old journals recently. I have been a lifelong journal keeper, recording everything around me in minute detail, and also complaining about various things or simply using the books to vent about my life. It’s interesting to go back and read the journals (because of course I have a giant box full of them at home; I’ve never thrown one out). In the fifty plus volumes, so much has changed… and so much has […]

{Pattern Review: Megan Nielsen Darling Ranges Dress}

August 7, 2020 by kelerr

Part of what I’ve been trying to do during this quarantine period is finishing up a ton of stuff from my Unfinished Projects Pile. The Darling Ranges Dress from Megan Nielsen Patterns has been sitting in that pile for at least a year. I’m not even positive just how long it’s been there, but I know it had to have been last summer at the earliest that I cut it out. And then I promptly put it in a drawer […]

{What I Read: July 2020}

August 4, 2020 by kelerr

Believe it or not, I do still manage to read books that aren’t a part of The Baby-Sitters Club series. And with school being over for the year and no remote learning responsibilities (or social ones, for that matter), I have more reading time than ever. So let’s jump in. The Shadows, by Alex North was part of my Book of the Month Club box for the month. I had heard of North’s other work (The Whisper Man – see […]
