hehe Wow Great Memory Belltwala! I made a couple for this years Roo again, and then I made the Camp Infobury Flag and it was all sewn also. Let me see if I can find me a pic for ya......
Thats the flag I made and it was pretty big and kinda heavy also. But I really liked how it turned out in the end!
I will most definitely make a quilt for Mountain Jam this year and I'm hoping to make one for Roo.
i have a question for you ladies, I know its been discussed here before but i cant find it
how do you feel about Ugg boots? at first i thought they were ugly and looked dumb but this year, i actually like them. and i cant find any good pants to tuck in without the pants all bunching up. what should i do?
Uh - don't wear them? Uggs are fab to wear around the house or maybe for apres-ski. But they're so clunky and marshmallowy for normal wear. I don't know - I feel the same way about Uggs as I do Crocs. I will wear my Crocs happily and with jibbitz at Roo, but only for gardening at home. And the only reason I don't make fun of my sister for wearing them in real life is because she's 8 months pregnant and nothing else will fit her poor, swollen feet.
Although there are some Ugg-brand boots that have the same lining but are quite attractive.
But anyway, that's my rant. Feel free to ignore me
For your problem, you need a pair of skinny jeans. I've heard that Old Navy has some that fit pretty well and are cheap.
Tarae- I personally don't like UGGs, but I'm not exactly fashionable either. I work in the shoe industry and these things sell like hotcakes. I agree with Dcbee though... they just seem out of sorts for normal wear, maybe if you were in the artic or someplace super cold and needed the extra protection I could see it. If the UGGs are out of your price range or you can't find any, get a pair of EMUs... they are made by the same company! And if you do decide to buy a pair, buy from Journeys
And ladies, I have found an awesome site for some reasonably priced clothes: www.modcloth.com/ I am partial to vintage-style clothing because I feel that they flatter a curvy figure better than some modern clothes. I'll be they'll have some cute Roo-style dresses come spring!
^^that's a super cute dress! I'd probably go with plain black tights and black pumps (especially since it says babydoll - you can get away with a shorter skirt if you're wearing tights). And then instead of a cardigan, go with a shawl/pashmina - black or gold would be pretty and something you can wear with future outfits - or as a scarf. I have a grass green pashmina that I adore because I use it as a big, cozy scarf during my commute and then when it's too cold in my office, it becomes a wrap.
i have a pair of old boots that look like uggs. i bought them for snow and cold weather waaaaaay back before uggs were popular and i dont have to use them much so they still look perfect. i got them from a store that specializedin COLD weather clothing called DAMART. it was a catalog store and i dont think its around now. i dont think my boots are too ugly but then again i only wear them when its actually REALLY cold - not as a fashion statement.
i see some people who wear them sorta "rock star" style and that looks cute...but i wouldnt think i would be caught dead trying to wear them with a normal outfit to a normal place. to me they look too frumpy - but im short also so i fight the frump factor.
if you like them and you can pull them off then i think you should wear them because they sure look comfortable.
Since we are talking about dresses, check out this on I found last night. I am sooooooo getting it. It's super cute, and I can wear it to work. I really want some wintery dresses, and this one is the shniz www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16792660
That dress is super cute, Clairity! I like sweater dresses; I have a few but I always wear them with jeans. I still haven't jumped on the Leggings or Tights bandwagon yet.... I pick them up at the store, and then put them back. I'm afraid that they will make me look like I'm bigger than I am and/or make me feel like I'm 7 years old. I hated wearing tights when I was younger!
I ordered the purple dress! I've considered a pasmina/wrap but I'm really not sure how much I'd use it other than with that dress. I'll have to wait to see what it looks like on before I make any other decisions

i find multiple uses for large scarves, wraps, pashminas. they are great for travel because you can use them as a pillow or little blanket. they are easy fitting and easy to "on and off" going through security. they can be used as a throw on the ground for picnics or at the beach or can be used to wrapup items. you can put a pashmina on the back of a chair for guests to use as a throw. you can keep one in the car to put over your legs or to offer to chilly passengers. use can use large scarves or pashminas as "sun blockers" at roo. just hang them up to your shade tent or over your tent windows with clips.
if you really like it then you might consider thinking of a variety of uses for it.
I'm not a big leggings person either. I feel like they will make me look short and thick. But I love tights in the winter! They give you a little extra covering than hose, but don't give you extra mass.
I did get a couple pairs of long leggings that go all the way down over the ankle to throw on under dresses when it gets cold at festivals. I like those, and since most of my summer dresses are knee length, you can't see the humungus thighs they create.
i like the footless tights. i wear them with boots - along with socks. this is WAY drier and more comfortable throughout a long day- you will really notice the difference when you take the boots off. your feet with thank you - not to mention the insides of your boots.
I got the purple dress today and I absolutely LOVE it! I'll probably have to get it altered a bit, the straps are a little big and keep falling down, but other than that, it fits great! I'm super excited, just needed to share

I hate leggings, but LOVE footless tights. To me, leggings and footless tights do the same thing, and I'm way more comfortable in tights. They are SUCH a nice winter accessory...I wear them with skirts and dresses, and then under my pants when it gets really cold.
A pashmina is a shawl. Originally the term was used just for shawls made with wool from pashmina goats, but now it's also used for ones made of cashmere or cashmere/silk blend.
I wish I could pull off leggings or tights but they make me feel like I'm trying too hard. I feel too old to wear them...dumb, I know. maybe I'll get outta my comfort zone and give them a shot.
I'd like to get some winter dresses like the one Clarity showed and wear them with striped thigh high socks or thick tights.
I'm all about tights and leggings (the latter being worn with long sweaters)! I find, in general, that colored tights are not especially flattering unless they're very neutral (eg. brown). I did buy a pair of lacy black tights to wear with a grey dress and deep/candy apple red patent leather maryjanes. And I picked up some brown tights to wear with various outfits and these boots:
I broke down and bought some black tights this weekend. I wore them under jeans to a hockey game on Saturday night. Let's just hope I have a better experience wearing them with a skirt/dress, or they will be shoved into back of the drawer!

Aww haha, hockey games will always be the death of cute outfits! I WANT to be cute, but I always end up with jeans and a hoodie with some layers underneath or something like that. Unless I wear a hockey jersey. But I never end up feeling very cute, and then there's these other girls there in like stilettos and miniskirts with bare legs and I'm like "HOW DO YOU DO THAT?"
^^No matter what I wear, I usually end up wearing my jacket for the duration of the game. It's always so stinkin' cold in the arena at hockey games! Might as well be playing outside. At least my jacket is semi-cute!
And dreamingtree, those dresses are super cute! I told myself that I am NOT ALLOWED to buy any dresses for Roo this year since I bought so many last year. We'll see how long that rule lasts

I own Uggs in black and tan and I have to say they are the most comfortable shoe in the world!! I love the fact that I don't have to wear socks with them (they were made that way to control body temp in surfers) just buy skinny jeans and you shouldn't have a prob tucking them in.

Yay! I have a cute jacket now too so that is totally a plus. The first time I wore it to a hockey game one of the players complimented me on it, so it is like Officially Cute.
I just ordered socks from sockdreams.com and wanted to let you all know that they have free shipping! Totally made my day - and now I'm done with my Christmas shopping. Yay!
