I wanted to write this post days ago but life got in the way, work piled up and days have just 24 hours. I could use my time in a better way if the Doctor came for me and left me here again just 5 minutes later, but I wouldn’t …

More than 15 years later
If you’ve been following me for a while you would think that after the Summer frenzy participating in sew alongs, it appears I’m suddenly doing nothing. It’s not that Fall has me completely paralyzed, it’s not that I have no ideas for future sewing projects. In fact I have a …
Bunking off
Yes, I’ve done it. I had sewing class today and I decided that I was not going. My to do list this week is rather large. I thought that since I was home alone I could entertain myself by doing all those things, but it seems not working. I’ve postponed …
Completed: Blue Puppies Portrait Blouse
I finished this blouse this morning after driving Koen to the airport. He’s going to a conference in Paris with some of his colleagues. It was very rewarding to see him yesterday evening packing his Jedediah pants and his Émilien cardigan among all the rest of his clothes. I’ll be …
Completed: Jedediah Pants
I finished this last Wednesday, but we didn’t have time to take pictures until Saturday and I couldn’t write a post until now. Work is piling up… Koen was asking for a pair of pants for months, so when the Jedediah pants were released, I knew I had to make …
A family week
As I’ve explained in my previous post, after experimenting very high temperatures in Madrid, I felt too optimistic and packed two skirts, a pair of shorts, a dress and a half for my two weeks here. The half comes from the pieces I cut to make a Lonsdale dress, since …
Fails
Murphy’s law says that if there’s anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And it definitely did this time. We were supposed to take a flight to Vigo yesterday at 5 pm, but after taking zillions of planes in our life, we miscalculated and missed our plane. We could change our tickets …
Road trip
I haven’t been here for some days. You know, sometimes life gets in the way and one can’t find time to blog. Last week we had some days off and decided to take a road trip to the south. The plan was reaching Cádiz, but that was all. We still …
Weekend
This past weekend was going to be a calm one. There were neither swing parties nor any kind of workshop announced. Time for ourselves and our things. One of the urgent projects for me was modifying Koen’s respro cycling mask. He goes to work by bike almost everyday. It’s a …
I’ve beaten the sweater curse!
For I’ve finished Émilien, a cursed sweater and everything is still fine. After hours of thinking, measuring, re-thinking , modifying and trying, I finally got Koen’s cardigan done, we are still together and we love each other very much. He asked me for a sweater, seeing how much I love …
