    Easiest Contour Face Mask

    Does the world need yet another contour face mask pdf? Aren’t there already dozens out there? Yes there are, and I’ve provided links to several of them months ago….and yet I wasn’t 100% satisfied with any of them. #1. Contour…

Because vacation! Haven’t been anywhere beside Because vacation!
 
Haven’t been anywhere besides the grocery store for a year! It’s midnight, we leave at 3:00 a.m. and I decided that I need tropical color masks to wear. My husband thinks I’m nuts. Oh well!
Because upcycling! Vintage tablecloth into suspe Because upcycling! 

Vintage tablecloth into suspender skirt. One of a kind size 4 in my Etsy shop.
Because poufiness! Sometimes those vintage styles Because poufiness!

Sometimes those vintage styles need a bit of fluff. Hidden nylon “horsehair” to the rescue. 

Adjustable-waist petticoat just added to the collection in my Etsy shop.

Because it’s a fresh new year! Thank you to @la Because it’s a fresh new year!

Thank you to @laurajaneillustrations for your talent in expressing how so many of us feel, but have trouble putting into words. 

As my husband and I toasted in 2021 together with our daughter and a bottle of good champagne, we were grateful that last year we were blessed with health, safety, and a place for each of us to work from home.
 
Happy New Year!

We watched “The Sound of Music” last week and the songs are stuck in my head!

This gown is “dripping with lace” as one customer reviewed 😊and takes forever to make but lasts for years, through hundreds of washes and wears.

Because “In transit, arriving late” has been t Because “In transit, arriving late” has been the same USPS status since December 20th.

Shipped December 15th.

Ugh.
Because I’m heartbroken. Last order of Christmas Because I’m heartbroken. Last order of Christmas 2020 and the first time I’ve ever had a package not arrive in time.

Even though I explained that I could not promise delivery date (only shipping date), even though I worked through the night to get this out a day earlier than quoted, even though I drove the package to a USPS sort facility to give it a push....in a normal year that address sticker preprinted “Priority 2 Day” was reliable but this year...10 days before Christmas wasn’t enough. 

I get it, totally a First World Problem...I realize the post office is overwhelmed and understaffed right now...and people are literally fighting to breathe. But if you’re a small business, a maker...you know how much love and care goes into each sale, and you send off each package with the hope that it gets there safely and they love it.

So today I’m sad and frustrated and I don’t know what to say to my lovely customer except “I’m so sorry and I know how you feel because my own daughter’s Christmas gift is late too”.
