I just went through every page on this thread looking for this post...phewwwwwwwwww!
(I'm getting a sewing machine for Christmas so I was looking for ideas)
yay!!! congrats on the new sewing machine, i hope you love it! i gotta get mine out soon to make some new curtains and such for my new apartment. ;D
oh, and amy butler has some new fabrics out as of the fall, so you might find something even better on her site. i've found if you order online from a place like www.hancocks-paducah.com/ its usually quite a bit cheaper. you just have to look out, because some places list their prices by the yard, and some by the half yard. if there's an ikea store near you, there are some cute inexpensive fabrics there as well, although the one i want is ususally sold out just when i go to buy it
YEAY THANKS! I'm so excited to start making stuff on it!
HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES (and lurking guys!)!!!!!!!!!!1
I need to find some good facial lotion for my wife. She has celebrated the anniversary of her 25th year more than 20 times. So, little lines are showing around eyes and mouth and this bothers her. Not that I think she needs it BTW.
Some of the stuff she has purchased is STINKY (in a bad way). I have a very sensitive nose to perfumes, some I love, others cause a sensation of an ice pick behind my eyes.
Clinique has really great anti-aging products. They guaruntee all of their products, so if you don't see results, you can return it. And they are all scent/dye free and allergen tested, so it shouldn't bother you at all.
Their products can be a bit pricey, but they actually work. So it's totally worth it in my book. Plus they are super helpful. If you go to a Clinique counter and tell them the issues you and your wife have, they will hook you up. And if you time it right, you can get free stuff too.
+1 all the way. Clinique is the way to go. Their "All About Eyes" sounds exactly like what she (and your nose) needs.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
I just got done making 2 ADORABLE tutus to wear to raves/Bonnaroo. One is dark blue, aqua and white, and the other is hot pink and purple! They're so very cute. I'm going to wear them with a silver tube top and probably fuzzy bootcovers that I'm making as well.
I'll post pics ASAP! If anybody would like me to make them a tutu, I'd love to!

Oh oh! Post pictures! Because I like that idea a lot! I might ask you to make me one!

Perfume/Cologne History: I've been lucky that she is not a perfume wearing type lady because of the sensitivity that I have. Back in my pre-history, there was a perfume that I remember- Cabochard I believe. So, that is the one scent I remember. I also have a vintage bottle of Perry Ellis around here somewhere. I list this as a reference to those who might know these as an example.
I do not want my wife to smell like my mom.......ewww. My reacting poorly because of the smell of lotion when she crosses the centerline of the bed is not good for the relationship.
The winter dryness is really getting to her. I think she currently has some Mary Kay stuff [okay products], which are pretty neutral smelling.
Anything that can be found in smaller mall/retail would be appreciated. You big city [the population] girls have all sorts of options. Citrus, fruity, sweeter smelling fragrances would be better. I do not like the the Estee Lauder smell that reminds me of mom - see above issue.
Any thoughts comments, recommendations, suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't met most of you, but know that I met some great people last year at Roo and suspect that many others would have suggestions that would work. She is not a suburban princess, but I want to find something very nice because she is the world to me.
The best face lotion is Creme de la Mer....but I cannot afford it! I used to buy small 2oz containers of it on ebay but it is no longer a luxury I can afford....even from ebay. It was created by an aerospace physicist to heal chemical burns. when you put it on I swear you can feel your skin bouncing back a few years! VERY $$$$ pricey
i am planning on buying a pair of rain boots for next year and i don't know whats the best brand and most durable. i found a really cute pair that is made by Sperry, but i read some reviews and most people say the seam tore after a few outings. i also looked up chooka and they had some cute patterns. any suggestions would help!
I just got some cute cheap ones from Target last year. With as little as you wear them, I wouldn't worry too much about them being durable. Unless you are working in a monsoon everyday, they should hold out.

I got mine from Target and they have lasted for about three or four years now. I'm due for a new pair though. I practically live in them in rains so much where I live.
I don't think I'd spend more than 20-25 dollars on a pair.
This is the first one, the pink and purple one. It's a little shorter and less poofy than the first one. It's not completely finished in the back, I still need to add a little bit more to finish it.
This is the first one I made, so it's a little bit different than the pink and purple. Bonus cat-attacking-my-foot action.
^^^ those are sooo freakin' cute!! I'm a sewing machine fanatic, so I may try to whip something up like that as well for 'roo. Yay! A project to keep me occupied for *gasp* 5ish more months.
Is anyone else in full force Bonnaroo mode? I'm literally dreaming about it lol
Haha! I dreamt about it last night actually! I get all Bonnacrazy about this time of year. It's snowy, cold and grey and all I am thinking of is Tennessee sunshine, soft grassy spots and great music. Sigh...

5 months? These things take about 2 hours to make. They are so super simple! Plus, no sewing machine required.
Now, if you need a project for 5 months you should make tutus for all the bonnaroo girls!

I may have to, to keep my mind of off the waiting! I know I'll be making a few for me and my girlfriends... so that'll at least take up a weekend.
I'm also working on other nifty sewing type things for 'roo though, to help pass the time. I'm making some skirts and scarf-type tops, and I really want to make a tote bag that turns into a blanket.
Oh! and I made some jewelry bags with little pockets that are padded, so you can throw breakables into your larger bag and they won't get crushed. Very handy!
You take about a yard and a half of ribbon (enough to go around your waist and tie a bow in the back)
Then you get about 6-10 yards of tulle (depending on how poofy you want it, I used 8 for my pink and purple one and had a little left over), and cut the tulle into strips. The tulle is typically folded in half when you buy it, and I keep it folded in half until I use it. The thicker the strips, the poofier the skirt. The first skirt I made (the blue one) I used 4-5 inch strips, and the 2nd skirt (the pink and purple one), I used 2-3 inch strips.
You take each strip, keep it folded in half, and tie it around the ribbon in a knot. I usually loop mine and pull the ends through the loop to make the knot. Then you just keep tying pieces on the ribbon until you get enough to go around your waist! Tie it on and voila!

Clove cigarettes are only sold in tobacco shops in Tennesse. I didn't think this belonged in the fitness thread but it does go along with the girls bc everyone asked me where I got them last year.
Those Tutus are so cute I just ordered my first official skirt for the warmer months and i am soooo excited and i ordered these really cute bracelets my goal is to order at least one dress/skirt a week so ill have a nice fun wardrobe by the time spring gets here!
