{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Friends Forever 11-12, California Diaries: Ducky – Diary Three & Friends Forever: Graduation Day}

January 29, 2021 by kelerr

Well… here we are. The last of my BSC rereads posts. I decided to squeeze it in this week, even though Tuesday’s post was also a BSC reread post. But I finished the books last week, so might as well get this out into the world ASAP. This post features just four books, the final three Friends Forever books and the one remaining California Diaries book. This installment begins with Welcome Home, Mary Anne. The new Schafer-Spier barn house is […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Friends Forever Books 6-10 & California Diaries: Amalia – Diary Three}

January 26, 2021 by kelerr

We are at the penultimate leg of this rereading the BSC journey. This post will cover all but four of the final books in the series, and features five Friends Forever books and one California Diaries book. I think I’ve been doing this long enough to that we can just jump right into the good stuff. In Stacey and the Boyfriend Trap, literally every single male interest of Stacey’s returns. And I mean everyone, from Toby (Sea City) to Wes […]

{A Marvelous Week!}

January 22, 2021 by kelerr

This past week I participated in “A Marvelous Week,” a Marvelous Mrs. Maisel-based challenge hosted by @katieemilyl on Instagram. Katie and I were both finalists in the Made Like Maisel contest in 2019 (she won first place, I won third). We share a love of all things retro and Mrs. Maisel, so I was very excited when she came up with this challenge! Each day had a different Maisel-related theme. Monday was “We Got the Rabbi!” and the theme was […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Friends Forever – Everything Changes, Friends Forever Books 1-5, California Diaries: Sunny – Diary Three & Maggie – Diary Three}

January 19, 2021 by kelerr

A new era has officially begun! I have moved on from the main BSC canon into the Friends Forever series! This is the final leg of the journey to reread (or read for the first time, as is the case with these as by this time in original publication date I was a new high school graduate and had long since outgrown these books). My original goal had been to finish it all by the end of 2020, but now […]

{Latest Make: Sew Over It Betty Dress}

January 15, 2021 by kelerr

My second make of 2021 is done! And it was a completely spur of the moment dress that only took a few days to complete from conception of the idea to finished product. About a year ago, I purchased about three meters of a checked wool from Blackbird Fabrics (the bottom in the photo below). I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do with it, but then it just sat. And sat. And sat. We went into […]

{Pattern Review: Closet Core Patterns Carolyn Pajamas}

January 12, 2021 by kelerr

I have completed my first official project of 2021! This was a completely new project from cut to finish, rather than something that’s been in my to do pile for a while (I’ll get to those, but it’s fun for the first make to be something completely new and different!). I can’t say why I chose the Carolyn Pajama Pattern from Closet Core Patterns as my first project of 2021, but I have been planning to make them for a […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitters Club: Books 126-131 & California Diaries: Dawn – Diary Three}

January 8, 2021 by kelerr

So… I finished the main series. In this special installation I have the FINAL six BSC books… and one random California Diaries that fell in between them. If I had gotten here as a kid, I would’ve spent days being sad about the end of my beloved book series. As an adult who has been frantically trying to read them all within a year of time, it’s a bit of a relief, though there is a touch of emotion there […]

{What I Read: December 2020}

January 5, 2021 by kelerr

Here it is: my final “What I Read” post for 2020 (granted it is 2021 when you’re reading about them)! I’m pretty proud of what I managed to accomplish this year, reading-wise. However, that was simply because I had more time, and not because I worked any harder at it than in previous years. I love to read, but it often falls by the wayside for other things I need to do so it really all depends on how busy […]

{The 2020 Makes Round Up}

January 1, 2021 by kelerr

Happy New Year! I think we can all agree that 2020 was a weird year. However, it was also a pretty productive year for me, in bits and pieces. I was able to have more sewing time, but with that I was able to procrastinate more. Even so, I had random surges of productivity both before and after quarantine started, and it’s time to round up the makes for the year! All the pattern names have links to their sites, […]
