In an attempt to keep this blog somewhat relevant, I’m in the process of updating everything. It is a process, so don’t be surprised if it changes again and again and again. But after chipping away at the design, it felt time to post something, even if it’s minor news and mirror selfies pulled from Instagram. None of the links in this post are affiliated with anyone. I post them as resources to you.
Sewing News: FINALLY Finished!
I started these joggers months ago but got derailed by a lack of “sewjo”. When it came to sewing projects, I just couldn’t get geared up.
Maybe it’s the gorgeous weather outside or my newfound freedom from the virus or going off a preventative migraine medication that was dragging my energy. Whatever the reason, I’m experiencing sparks and crackles of sewjo again. I finished these joggers earlier this week and am getting ready to tackle a muslin for Sew House Seven’s Burnside Bibs. Stay tuned!
Joggers Pattern: McCall’s M7610
Fabric: Stretchy knit from FabScrap.org.
New, Fresh Haircut!
One year and two months—that’s how long I went without a professional haircut. For me, that’s an eternity. It’s a ritual that is part of my mental and physical well-being. This week, the long wait ended, thanks to the vaccine!
Thank you, Laura at Beehive Salon for the haircut I’ve been dreaming about and for making my first step back into the outer world so welcoming. Next month, color!
Birdbath Bonus
As part of my new web format, I’m including tidbits of nature. The pandemic taught me how soothing nature can be in times of extreme anxiety, so I share here a moment of cuteness from my birdbath. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I absolutely adore your haircut! You look fabulous! – Amy

Thank you, Amy!! ❤️
How lovely to see your blog post pop up in my reader, Sherry! Your blog’s new layout looks amazing, as does your fresh haircut! I’ve been enjoying your birdbath videos so much in Instagram too, especially those featuring the formidable Elvis! xxx
Thank you, Ann! I sincerely appreciate your comments. Elvis will likely be making another appearance here and/or on Instagram before too long. He’s become a regular visitor and his antics are too fun not to share. I’m glad you enjoy them!
Hugs,
Sherry
PS Your blog looks awesome!!
Congratulations on the joggers, Sherry. They look great! And the haircut is perfect, the word pixie comes to mind in the best possible way. I’m glad you were finally able to partake in the salon experience again. So long in coming…
Thank you, thank you, Mel! You know I have been dragging my feet on so many things recently. I have hope my creativity is here to stay for a while. Thank you for always being such an inspiration and cheering me on. 💙
Your haircut is fabulous Sherry!!
And I love how you’re starting to sew again. I finally tackled a pile of alterations, and only screwed up two things (haha!!) Luckily mom to the rescue!!
