I am a Fat, Phat, Phat Fat kind of Girl!!!!

As you have guessed by my title I am fat. and today I have had it up to here with it. If any of you are overweight you know how hard it can be to clothes shop. I needed a dress for church that was not only modest and stylish but made me comfortable and happy to wear it.

After going to a handful of fat women's store (that's what I call them) aka. lane bryant, torrid, etc. I went home empty handed. not only did they have a small selection of dresses (or even a nice skirt) but they were all immodest, my meaning of modest is a dress that has sleeves, does not have a plunging neckline and is at least down to my knees if not longer. All the dress I found were sleeveless, strappy, holter toppish and were way to short. come on girls if you are overweight why would you want to show all that skin.
So i went home a bit grumpy thinking ok I guess my only option is to sew a dress myself. Pattern and material shopping is added to my to do list now.

This little quote fits my mood today perfectly


Give me chocolate and a nice dress PLEASSSSE!


Happy Shopping!!

Ok I am back from my Joann's shopping trip. I was able to get 5 simplicity patterns for $5.00. Great deal considering these are $15.00-$18.00 each normally.

I decided to go with Simplicity Pattern # 2917


Here is the material I will be using. My husband helped me pick this out. 
What a great hubby. Love him.

Pixie Wand


Preparing for an up and coming Birthday party.
 I decided to work on the princess pixie wands.
We are planning a princess/super hero party. 
because it's a niece and nephew's birthday.

So for the niece we are doing everything pink and girly and for the nephew
 he loves spiderman so for him it is all things super.

We will be making many of this pixie wands for my niece and all the girls coming.

It is made by making a chrysanthemum crocheted flower in 3 colors,
 4 bamboo skewers, yarn to cover the bamboo skewers and 
ribbon to tie a bow near the top.




I soon will be selling these wands and also the pattern for you to make
 them yourselves if you choose to go that route.
 they will be up later this week on my easy site.
