I’m curious about today’s fashion. I’m looking for clothes for spring and summer, and I can’t find any shirt that isn’t a baby doll or that looks like a maternity top. And if that isn’t bad enough, half of them have ties in the back.

These are similar to what I found at Dillard’s, Penney’s and Kohl’s.

They are cute enough. I might look at the pink one in a different color (I very rarely wear pink). The green one? I’m in my fifties. Do I really want to look like I’m wearing a little girl’s dress?

Roger and I stayed in this weekend. I did a few things I’ve put off doing for a while. And I cleaned out my closet. I read that if you buy one new thing you should get rid of one old thing. I’m going to try this so I cleaned out everything I haven’t worn in the past year or so. This is embarrassing, but I ended up with two trash bags of clothing and one trash bag of shoes.

I played around with red work again this evening and came up with this simple design. It sews out quickly. I think red work does better on some things than heavier embroidery designs. I say red work, but I do change the thread color to what I need. Hope some of you can use it.

Until next time!
