I love my little nook in the kitchen and all of the fresh light that comes in during the day.

It\u0026#39;s the best when a girl\u0026#39;s night involves coffee, a trip to the fabric store, chatting it up about style, the kiddos, and the husbands.

At the time, Hugo wasn\u0026#39;t into the show, and didn\u0026#39;t even know what The Magic School Bus was, but I thought it would make for a great family costume theme because there are so many characters to choose from. Over the summer Netflix released a Magic School Bus reboot and now Hugo rather enjoys the lo busss (toddler for, \u0026#39;yellow bus\u0026#39;). The timing, let me tell you, was on point. New show? Hugo loves the yellow bus? Somehow, I managed to spot a trend - in advance! Whoop, whoop! Any how, we chose to dress up as Ms. Frizzle, Arnold, and Liz the Lizard.

I feel as though I am always learning something new whether it be a new skill, a project I\u0026#39;ve never attempted, different type of material, finish, etc. Plus, it still feels like I am getting that new fabric excitement over my client work without adding to my \u003Ci\u003Ealready\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cb\u003E out of control \u003C\/b\u003Efabric collection.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/2017\/08\/easy-summer-fashion-diy-wrap-dress.html#more\"\u003ERead more »\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/feeds\/5130705785072024214\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/2017\/08\/easy-summer-fashion-diy-wrap-dress.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/8563500857773703111\/posts\/default\/5130705785072024214"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/8563500857773703111\/posts\/default\/5130705785072024214"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/2017\/08\/easy-summer-fashion-diy-wrap-dress.html","title":"A Tutorial for your Inner-Urbanista: The DIY Wrap Dress "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Anonymous"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/11674911184594864467"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-meHtV1Ihrxo\/WYtTnVLun0I\/AAAAAAAAB7Y\/CcS2Llnd5vYgEVeq0iSW5Lj5KvTOEggLQCLcBGAs\/s72-c\/DIY-WRAP-DRESS.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"},"georss$featurename":{"$t":"Seattle, WA, USA"},"georss$point":{"$t":"47.6062095 -122.3320708"},"georss$box":{"$t":"47.2636695 -122.9775178 47.9487495 -121.68662379999999"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563500857773703111.post-5580449972963003606"},"published":{"$t":"2017-07-22T13:20:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-07-22T20:53:16.865-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"buying used"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"how to"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"lifestyle"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"recycle"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"shopping"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"thrifted"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"thrifting"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"tips and tricks"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Thrifting 101: 5 Tips and Tricks for Successful Thrift Shopping "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-WHL1MaBIsss\/WXLdhDnk5RI\/AAAAAAAAB6s\/Na6y_kNE8dATpXh4lcvm2FM03OGEzYWewCLcBGAs\/s1600\/thrifting-101.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Thrifting tips and tricks\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1102\" data-original-width=\"735\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-WHL1MaBIsss\/WXLdhDnk5RI\/AAAAAAAAB6s\/Na6y_kNE8dATpXh4lcvm2FM03OGEzYWewCLcBGAs\/s640\/thrifting-101.png\" title=\"How to Shop at Thrift Stores\" width=\"426\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThis week we\u0026#39;re breaking it up a little bit to talk about thrifting tips and tricks!

Fun, fun. And this was right after Hugo grabbed a bunch of fake florals from the shelf, bit plastic off, thereby requiring me to swipe the inside of his mouth to grab said plastic.

To be fair, the dress was a major don\u0026#39;t for my body type. Drop waist, sheath but too tight on my hips, too short, and the 2000-esque bow nicely accentuated a post-baby bump that shouldn\u0026#39;t be there anymore (it\u0026#39;s just so \u003Ci\u003Erainy \u003C\/i\u003Eoutside and I\u0026#39;m definitely guilty of \u003Cstrike\u003Esometimes\u003C\/strike\u003E giving into the sweet tooth).\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/2017\/03\/st-patricks-day-refashion.html#more\"\u003ERead more »\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/feeds\/2659805199316122598\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/2017\/03\/st-patricks-day-refashion.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/8563500857773703111\/posts\/default\/2659805199316122598"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/8563500857773703111\/posts\/default\/2659805199316122598"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/sewverylovelyindeed.blogspot.com\/2017\/03\/st-patricks-day-refashion.html","title":"St. Patrick's Day Refashion"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Anonymous"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/11674911184594864467"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-TCBLT1uNPn0\/WMw9uRNZGZI\/AAAAAAAABZA\/zxfvX9AI38sLuJy5H40RvxQP-NuRT_ongCLcB\/s72-c\/IMG_1875%255B1%255D.PNG","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563500857773703111.post-664910009020889024"},"published":{"$t":"2017-03-11T22:11:00.002-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-04-03T20:13:38.246-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"2017"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"baby boy"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"DIY"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"diy car accessories"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"diy car seat pillow"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"lifestyle"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"mom life"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"sewing for baby"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"toddler"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"tutorial"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"DIY Car Seat Pillow \u0026 Life Update"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-5vvY-jvKTuI\/WMTiwEq_eYI\/AAAAAAAABWY\/z9CcUpKoO7ICzG5IttQVoNXxaLnP-8OMQCLcB\/s1600\/17273533_1207824672668015_48222279_o.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"diy car accessories\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-5vvY-jvKTuI\/WMTiwEq_eYI\/AAAAAAAABWY\/z9CcUpKoO7ICzG5IttQVoNXxaLnP-8OMQCLcB\/s640\/17273533_1207824672668015_48222279_o.jpg\" title=\"diy car seat pillow\" width=\"426\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EI can\u0026#39;t believe that it\u0026#39;s been almost a month since I\u0026#39;ve updated the blog!\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELife has been crazy.
