Growing Up

As Monday marked the beginning of my 29th year of life, I decided that this was the year for making changes and becoming more of the person I’ve always envisioned myself as.

I can’t foresee exactly what changes will be made, but I do know that I’m excited, uplifted, and motivated by this new view on life.

I decided to start this blog to lay out the things that I am doing and to sort of store a virtual journal and portfolio at the same time.

I’ve been so inspired recently by many crafting blogs that I too wanted to be a part of this world and share some of my homemade bounty.

I begin with a wardrobe refashion that I did the other day.

** Here is the BEFORE shot. The tank top was too big and fell too low in the chest area

** And the AFTER. I took the sides in and shortened the straps. I also added some fun detailing around the neckline with the extra fabric.

Here is a close up of the detailing:

I was very proud of how this came out being my first refashion for myself, and not for a small child.

I also must apologize for the poor quality of photographs. I am working on teaching myself how to take better pictures of my projects so as to showcase them as effectively as possible.

Any tips, tricks or comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by. My hope is to keep this blog updated regularly, but as all bloggers know, sometimes life just gets in the way.
