And After A Quick Blow Job

I can now reveal my amazing new non-stick underskirt;


That sits very nicely under my yummy new skirt;


A side view;


And by the time I had got this far through my day my brain was mashed and I was unable to hold a straight normal face anymore;


Things I have learned while taking pictures of myself in my lovely new skirts;

1. My calves are not nearly as huge as I thought from looking down upon them, from the front they're not so scary.

2. I really need to clean the nasty smear off the mirror.

3. I need to move the mirror somewhere else in the house or put the washing/drying away far more frequently. Just to clarify; this is my landing, not wishy-washie's laundry!

4. I need to work on my muffin top and bingo wings!

5. I must make more skirts to practice taking good pictures of myself in my clean mirror without washing looming above/below/around me.

My Card Reader Has Crumbs In

I don't believe it! In true Victor Meldrew style with stamping foot! My bloody card reader must have crumbs in so I can't show you the picture of my lovely new skirt, yes I have the bug now. I also can't show you the rather fetching underskirt I have fashioned for myself from a smartprice sexy nightie either. I went in search of a slip (as my gandmother would have called it) to stop the reoccurance of the terrible sight of my (first) new skirt climbing it's way up my tights in the howling wind and rain en route to school this morning. It was not pretty folks. Only you cannot (for love nor money) buy underskirts anymore! Having worked with the sewing machine and shiny material before I know that I am lacking in at least twelve hands to make a good job of it so did a Dr Bob job (as it is called in our house) and bought a sexy nightie and cut the top off. A quick hem and a length of elastic and no more nobbly knees on show, hurrah!!

Will go now and blow into the side of my computer, well, it worked last time, keep fingers crossed that I will have the magic touch and will be able to show you pictures tomorrow!

A Skirt And Some Bags

See all this time I was gone I was just thinking up a groovy new title!!

Things are just strange at the mo, I don't seem to have enough time or energy for anything really.

I did manage, just by the skin of my teeth to get my skirt made;



I'm quite pleased with my effort, it looks rather good even though it's a little roomy, even after tweeks. I had the problem that the widest part of my hip is the same measurement as my waist. I am keeping myself comforted with the thought that I have a majorly skinny ass and not that I have a big wobbly mummy tummy. So drawing the pattern block was a little odd, it looks fab on though and I'll be making more just as soon as the weather brightens a bit and allows one to wear legs again.

So what have I been up to, apart from making a skirt? Not alot really, my poor sewing machine is struggling and I spent two days trying to find the best place to get it looked at and mended and inbetween time swearing at it while I tried to complete projects. I had a birthday and got some lovely presents and just to make my day my lovely hubby bought home a beautiful NEW sewing machine from work. I knew there was a reason I'd married him! And in celebration I knocked out a couple of bags;



And that's all for now folks, chicken to roast and babies to get ready for bed and a sofa to sit upon. Hopefully I'll be back sooner rather than later.
