weekly inspiration

Hello! My apologies this is up so late; I managed to get one of my once-in-a-blue moon migraine headaches late yesterday afternoon before I wrapped up the prep work for this. So staring at a computer screen was the last thing I wanted to do! Aside from the 36-hour migraine, weve been busy enjoying the beautiful (though hot) weather and some much-needed time together. I got a teeny bit of sewing in before the headache hitwhich will hopefully mean something to show you next week (and perhaps a tutorial!). How has your weekend been?

  • Dresses reusing feedsacks as the main fabric (a practice dating to the 30s and 40s) have always been of interest to metheyre so pretty and thrifty!
  • Making a terrarium sounds like the sort of small-scale gardening I can handle. (Small plastic dinosaur optional.)
  • It seems like every other couple I know right now is expecting, and I loved this list of practical new mama suppliesgleaned a few good post birth gift ideas!
  • Have you seen the beautiful Hollywood movie costumes being auctioned off from Debbie Reynolds person collection? I love this roundup of pieces at Penny Dreadful.
  • Ever used fabric that has a stubborn crease line that just wont go awayno matter how much you press it? Tasia gives three tips on working around that.

In other news round the blogosphere, have you read Galas series on body image pressures within blogging? In case you hadnt, you can read parts one, two and three. Its a mixture of Galas own thoughts on the young, skinny and pretty pressures that seem to be creeping into the style blogging world of late. (Just as a note: I dont consider myself a style blogger, simply because I have so many things I love to blog about. But since I do occasionally put up purely outfit-centric posts and certainly follow many fashion bloggers, I have run across this and am glad to see someone of following starting a dialogue about it.) A lot of interesting thoughts and opinionsit certainly got me thinking about some of the unsaid standards within fashion blogging.

Hope youre having a lovely day!
