My Reading Habits




I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale.

Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog http://www.bookchickcity.com/ and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read mystery/suspense books LOL  I'm a romance reader.  Yeah, I admitted that, I read romance novels.  Anywho, I think I can do this.  I'll post the books here as I read them, just so you can keep up with me and make sure I'm doing it :)  Why don't you pop on over to their blog and join in on the challenge!

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot.  But ya'll.  I'm originally from south Louisiana,  I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf!  I totally went off any eating plan while there.  Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food.  If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
