Almost late to the MMM party

4.30.2015

All month I've been waffling over joining Me-Made-May this year.  On the one hand it's a fun way to meet more sewers and see different patterns made up. On the other hand frankly I'm tired. April has been full of health issues for my family, from garden variety colds (everyone), to teeth issues (me), to sitting up all night in the emergency room because of kidney stones (my husband). Can I order 2 weeks in a dark cave all by myself? A mini hibernation vacation might just do the trick.

Now that it's deadline time I decided to switch to caffeinated tea and join the crowd. I'm committing to 3/4 outfits a week that include some sort of me-made item.  The outfits will go up "in real time" on my instagram feed but I'll only be doing a weekly round up here.  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

  1. So sorry for the hard month you have had. Teeth issues are not fun, I had to have an implant about 2 years ago. That is what I am going to do, too. I have lots of outside things to do in May, so I am planning on 3 days a week in old sweats or shorts. Cleaning, painting and planting.

  2. Sorry to hear about all your guys' health issues! Yikes kidney stones and sore teeth are not fun! Hopefully things will get better in May! So glad you're playing along! Perhaps you and Froggie can take a day's worth of cake and chocolate into the fabric cave and get some rest. :)

  3. Crossing my fingers that May is a happier and healthier month! I'm glad you're doing MMM! I'm still on the fence about it. I'm such a boring dresser that I don't think it's worth sharing my outfits!

  5. Glad you are joining in despite having a pants April! I daydream about taking myself somewhere for a whole week of peace, quiet and a total lack of responsibility. Then I realise I'd be insanely bored after a few hours and desperate to come home! Hope May brings you all health and happiness!

  7. Thank you Lori. Your pattern packages did help a lot to counter act all those annoying health issues.


    Hope you get all the outside things done this month. At least the gardening part sounds like fun. :)

  8. I'm really glad to have my teeth back to normal. Now let's hope my husband finally passes that kidney stone!


    Froggie says he always thinks we should nap in the fabric cave and that I really need to stop saying no.

  9. Thanks Sonja. I'm hoping things are nice and boring in my house this month.


    I enjoy your "boring" outfits especially when the doggies are involved. Tell Doug to work on his photo face.

  10. Hooray!! Though I did have to abandon the print themes because that seemed like too much planning.

  11. Thank you Helen. Maybe we just need to run away together and then we'll have fun. Fabric shopping, sewing, eating cake, sounds good. :)

  12. I always enjoy seeing what outfits you're wearing Margo. I think MMM was how I found you originally. Hooray!

    I also just finished the time sucking sewing project so something new will be nice.
