Last Minute Addition





I waited until the last minute, but decided to have a go again.  I participated in Me-Made-March '11 and enjoyed the challenge.  The community aspect was my favorite part.  So much fun to see what everyone was up to and what folks wear on a day to day basis.  I was also pleasantly surprised that it wasn't obvious to people (in my everyday life) that I was wearing me-made duds all month.  I'm not upping the ante this time, though.  I'm still sticking with one item.  I did an inventory of my me-made things and I seem to have a lot more cooler weather items that I won't be able to wear this month.  It has been 95 degrees or hotter here with no end in sight.  I'm so ready for fall.

I'm determined to take photos everyday.  I found it really useful last time around.  I'll probably post some every week or so, though I'll try to add them to the flickr group regularly.  Or maybe just wait until the end of the month and do one big collage.  I kind of like that idea.  I'm shooting for easy and convenient.  Today I wore my back to school skirt.  I may have to make another pencil skirt as this one has seen lots of wear already.  Looking forward to this month!

  1. The cards are great! :)

    I am jealous of your weather... fall arrived here with a vengeance on Tuesday and anything summery seems like a distant memory already ;).

    Have fun with your SSS!

  6. I'm participating too, my first! Seems like a good way to get through the "not Summer, not quite Fall, what do I wear" awkwardness of September. Can't wait to see all of your outfits!

  8. Good luck with the challenge! I'm looking forward to seeing how you mix up your wardrobe during this month...

    So funny that you are tired of summer and ready for autumn, as I am very tired of being cold and am pining for summer... luckily we are getting warmer!

  9. I think you are doing great in sss11!

    And thank you so much for your thoughts on 9/11 on my blog. I find it very interesting to read everybody else's recollections that I have come across. You can be sure that everybody remembers their activities and doings and even their very thought processes on that one day extremely well, something pretty unique.
