Latest Me-Made

The one good thing about not getting enough sleep is that you get more things done...well...some days....

Here are two of my latest "creations":) They're actually second versions of items I have made before!

1) Boxy sweater (pattern by Joji Locatelli)
This is the lighter weight version of this sweater. I actually started this sweater back in June and just finished it. Because it's a finer yarn and called for smaller needles, it was one of my longer-term projects.
Boxy sweater, jeans from Target, Vans slip ons
Oh my gosh! My photobomber is a ninja! Didn't even know she was there!


2) Elisalex dress (pattern by By Hand London)
This is the sleeveless version of this dress. I made it for an upcoming wedding we're attending. Guys, this is upholstery fabric from Ikea! Teehee...

These patterns have a special place in my crafting heart, which is why I've made them twice. Highly recommend.

I like the two tones on the boxy sweater, but I can't wait to see you wear the dress. The patterns on it are amazing!

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
