CHS Stocking Update


I can't believe it another post in the same week. I wanted to show you progress on my stocking. I bet Annemarie thinks I abandoned ship. I am still here working slow and steady on her.Please excuse the wrinkles.





It is also time for the Indiana State Fair. I am going to take you on a trip down memory lane. I use to sew a lot and enter in the Fashion Show. Here I am with Katelyn, my BF's daughter.It must have been humid that day because most of my makeup is missing and my hair is limp. lol! This is an old picture and I have aged just a teeny tiny bit. I still have the jacket and hat around here somewhere. The pattern is from ThreadBare Designs. It has a cute cat backpack on the back of the jacket that is removable. I made the jeans too. I was so proud of Katelyn, she did an excellent job of modeling my outfit for me. There were 30 other contestants all worthy of winning so I was surprised when I received second place. The lady handing Katelyn the platter is from Archway Cookies. They use to sponsor the event. Thanks for going down memory lane with me.
