Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
Good morning all you studious, fashion-forward, feathered friends! I don’t know about all of you, but there’s something about slightly cooler nights and Labor Day that makes me want to blow a few hundred dollars on a chemistry text and get a new notebook. For those of you who are long-past school days, but...

Greetings you crazy barn cats. Seriously, no matter what the housecats are telling you it’s ok that you have 8 toes on each foot. We still love you. OK! So, hot on the heels of yesterday’s rather pathetic post re. time management, here I am with a half a post. Really, a quarter. Rather...

I always wear wood jewelery with this green dress and feel quite ready for an island retreat. Today I thought it would be a bit cooler, so I added boots and a jacket. That just made me feel confused. Also, while straightening my hair this morning I got a bit spooked out. When did...

Good morning chimpanzees and chihuahuas. I know you are natural enemies, but I hope we can all get along for the next few minutes to discuss a very important subject. Time management. Or my complete confusion over how to go about managing my time… As some of you might remember, I headed back to an...

Morning basset hounds on a time out! You sit quietly for five whole minutes and I’ll consider removing the gentle leader… Hey! Guess what! I finished an actual dress! During my first week of work! Can you believe that?? Hey! Put that tennis ball down! I said five minutes! I’m extending your time out!...

Apparently I just can’t help myself! I was waiting to pick up the boy the other day from work – he works downtown, so the people watching can be fun. I was admiring the perfectly-pulled together Banana Republic-style workplace casual look that a springy blonde was sporting. Black flats, pencil skirt, fitted white button...

Hey there you curiously non-responsive-to-earthquake panda bears!! It’s almost September, and do you know what that means? New classes! Or, at least, a new class schedule. These are mostly repeat classes – oldies and goodies! If you’re in the Minneapolis area, come on down and join me! Crepe Dress September 6th and 20th, 6...

Good morning you orangutans with your freakishly giant hands. I have them too. They aren’t big enough to palm a basketball or anything, but they’re too big to fit into a lot of the bracelets available at my favorite retail establishments. Let’s investigate that a bit more today, shall we? OK. First off, my love of...

OK. I’ll admit I’m pushing the season a bit. AND, for those of you in Mpls today and therefore in the know, not only am I pushing the season, but I chose to do so on one of the hottest days we’ve had recently! Boots! Up to my knees! Check the temperature, it’s 90...

Morning wombats! I rushed home from work yesterday to snap a few photos in the waning light. Today I’m back to my fall wardrobe plotting. Behold the dress fabrics!! That white fabric on the bottom is NOT a dress fabric. It’s my bedspread!! I’m going super bright and cheery with the dress fabrics, as...

OK, there’s no sun damage. But I totally flipped my lid when I saw the little thumbnail on my camera – the orange necklace looks like a terrible burn when everything gets all shrunk down!! This is one of my favorite, easy dress patterns! The skirt looks strange in the photo…. I was leaning...

Morning mall rats! Love the hair, but how on earth do you sit when you’re in your car? Doesn’t it get stuck on the ceiling?? This was my last weekend as a free elf and we spent it in the most productive manner. Most importantly, I finally finished the pile of pincushions that’s been...

Morning hoppy little bunnies, teasers of basset hounds and gobblers of my garden. Today we are veering far, far away from the primary topic of this blog to talk about my garden and the giant amount of herbs currently in my possession. I know I’ve posted photos before, but our yard is very small...

Here’re my first-day-of-work duds! I also thought I’d try out some outdoor locations. Hello driveway. Hello any neighbors witnessing the photoshoot! Hello world! shirt: handmade, blogged here skirt: handmade, blogged here card: Nordstrom Rack necklace: handmade, not blogged bracelet: vintage, Mighty Swell shoes: Born And, in the interest of full disclosure… there’s what I...

Top ‘o the morning to you, you rabid wild boars! I have a confession to make. Two confessions. First, I don’t know what boars look like. I imagine pigs, but with saber teeth and brown curly fur. Am I right? Second: I can’t STAND the phrase shopping my stash/shop my closet. Ugh. Also I...
