Happy Friday! I’m going strong with Me-Made-May, though I do combine handmade items with the few store-bought clothes I still own.
Here’s a round up of week 2-ish:
Day 6: Renfrew Bamboo Top (worn with RTW yoga pants)
Day 7: Black Simplicity 2365 Tunic + Black Gingers
Day 8: Moss Green Linen Jacket (I wore the same outfit but with me-made jeans) + Indigo Gingers
Day 9: Self-drafted knit dress (shown above – this was yet another prototype for the dress included in my book and the photo is from at least a year ago)
Day 10: Indigo Simplicity 0403/2147 top + Indigo Gingers
Day 11: Lace + Geometric Knit Tank + RTW boyfriend jeans
Day 12: Navy and Black Stripey Tee + RTW shorts
I whipped up a little sketch, just because:
In other news, we’re in month four of the carless life, and I think we’ve found a pretty decent groove. Mostly it’s a combo of walking and taking the bus with the occasional Car2Go. Uber, for some reason, didn’t work that great for me because the app was ridiculously slow on my phone, though M uses it sometimes. M and I are talking about the dreaded car hunt in a month or two (not my favorite activity), but for now the weather’s been so amazing in Seattle, I’m thoroughly enjoying walking everywhere.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
Ahhh, I’m so ready
for Saturday and Sunday
with zero events*
*It’s so lovely to have a few breather weekends without events – I have a few coming up towards the end of the month and in June so I’m going to relax as though I’m a carefree retiree for the next couple of days!
P.S. Thank you for all the wonderful tea recommendations for the giveaway post! I love them!
I picked up your book while away for the weekend on vaca. I’m just getting back into seeing after a long hiatus. To my surprise I read about the same disease I have- Graves. I also have lupus, luckily in remission. Creativity is so important. Looking forward to document my projects via blog too. Thanks for your lovely story and inspiration!
Oops- sewing! Wabi sabi.
Ha! Yes, wabi sabi indeed! It’s fascinating for me to find out that you have Graves’ too — in the research I’ve done, Hashimoto’s is so much more common. And wow, I’m so glad to hear that you’re in remission. Thank you so much for reaching out and commenting, Laura! This has been the best part of creating the book, by far!
