Blue and Orange

Hi Friends, we are having an amazing summer so far in MN and I feel sad that it'll soon come to an end. We never experienced those hot, sticky, humid, sunny days like we did last year and that's good. The outfit I featured in this blog post here is what I wore to the birthday party my friend threw for her son a while back. It was a hot day but not too hot for a long sleeve shirt. I decided to go colorful and the mix of orange and blue appealed to me. This faux fur animal print bag was DIYed by me and you can see that it still got some uneven trims or edges. I'll work on it again and make it look more even and would try to do a post around it.

Do you recognize this blue sandal from a previous blog post I did here? Well, I promised myself not to buy any more blue shoes than was needed and I broke my promise to myself. The sandals have been in the closet for months and I just wore it for the first time on the day of the party. Do you see why I keep saying that Jesus loves me no matter what?..:-). I might fall anytime but I'm comforted in the knowledge that I will not stay down. God would always lift me up. I didn't intend to succumb to my blue shoes craving but I did. Well, you might wonder why I'm so apologetic? eemmm**clears throat,** I'll try to keep every promise I make next time because I feel so bad that I broke one. No more blue color shoes...:-). I still feel like I want to ask the question again though; "do you do blue shoes and if you do, how much (how many) blues do you do? Check out the previous blog post here.

My First Summer DIY Project

Hi Friends, I hope the week is going great. The summer is almost coming to an end. Can you believe it? How time flies when you are busy. Well, I have been trying my hands on some DIY projects here and there and the animal prints clutch in the picture above is actually my first summer DIY. Animal prints clutches have been on the scene for a while now but I did not own any until I had the inspiration to change one of my old clutches. The clutch I used is the one featured below in the pics which I bought from Target last summer. I found some yards of this cool woolen animal fabric in my fabric pile at home; as you might know, I used to visit the fabric store to buy fabrics and sewing knick knacks although I do not know how to sew; with a sewing machine, that is. I forgot to take pictures while doing the project but it was pretty easy. I used a measuring tape to measure around the old fold-over clutch while it was all straightened out, then cut out the pattern on the animal prints fabric with a pair of scissors. I put the wrong sides of the cut fabric together; a needle, a spool of black thread and thirty-five minutes later, I was done sewing a pouch. I turned the fabric around and slipped the original black clutch into the new pouch I made and used glue to attach them together.

The outfit above is what I wore to my friend's Mickey mouse themed birthday party. I wanted to put on something colorful and the denim shirt and orange pant is as colorful as you can get. I'll put more pictures up later. Do you see the Buddha statue with a "welcome sign" above his head behind me on the neighbor's front porch that photo bombed my pic? It brought a smile to my face…:-). I pray that your week be full of happy moments and for joy like a river to overflow in your heart the whole month through in Jesus name; Amen.
