Me Made May '13 May 6 - Day 3

So I am wearing this to work today.  Flowery and cheerful for Monday.  =)

It was too bright so I closed my eyes for most of the pictures...

I think I'm going to stop taking pictures early in the morning because I look so sleepy.
These were taken right before getting into the car.

 

 

 

Kayly wants to take pictures, too.

 

Rainbow Zebra Stripes Top

Another maternity looking shirt.  I think this will be the last shirt looking like this.

"rainbow zebra stripes" are Kayly's words.  =)

 

 

MMM '13 May 3 - day 2

So, the theme for this Friday is WATER.  I don't have a pool, don't live near a lake or ocean... so the only water I can come up with is either drinking a glass of water, OR watering my plants.  LOL

The shirt is from here .

So I pledged to wear made by me 2 times a week, so this week is complete.  =)

MMM'13 May 1

So today is the first day of MMM '13.  This is what I'm wearing to work today.

Blue Peplum Top

I didn't do my hair in this picture.

 

Got a hair cut.  Curl my hair.  Look like a bird's nest huh?

 

Turquoise Shiny Shirt

I finished this I think 3 days ago but didn't have a chance to take pictures.  It's shiny, so it makes me look fat.  And yeah, it looks like it's a maternity shirt, too.  But I like it.  My husband actually said it's a nice one.  Maybe in real life it looks better than in pictures.  But I know for sure I will be wearing this next month for the Me Made May 13 challenge. 

The neckline turned out pretty good.  I like it.  It was a little big, so I put elastic and ta-da!!!

Kayly's Pink Hearts Nightgown

Last Saturday I bought 7 different knitt fabrics to make nightgowns for her.  You see those piles on the sofa?  Those are the fabric.  She choose which one I make next for her.  This time was the pink hearts.  She already told me, the next one would be the flamingos one.

I woke up at 5:30 on a Saturday and started sewing on her nightgown.  Finished at 6:40.  Went back to bed haha...  at 7:45 she woke up and saw the new dress on the sofa and wanted to wear it on right away.   "Mommy, I want to wear this forever." said Kayly.

That makes me happy. 

She's making funny faces today.

This was when she said "No more pictures, Mommy!"

 

Me-Made-May ' 13

So, I've seen this popping up every where...and have also been wondering if I should sign up for this challenge.  I don't have enough things that I make to wear 7 days a week...  but I was reading some of the sign-ups, and some people were saying only 2 days a week, or 3 days a week or so.
Oh, this I can do.  I might have to repeat wearing my clothes over and over again but this will be fun.

So here's my pledge:

'I, Lily, of Lily Can Sew, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '13. I endeavour to wear my "made by me" garments for atleast two times a week for the duration of May 2013'

 

I forgot to mention that only somewhere on my body will have the "made by me" garment.  Not the whole outfit.

 

 

This is my first year doing this, and I'm scared.  Maybe I should just say 1 time a week haha, that is only 4 things.  But I said 2 times a week, that is 8 things that I need to find.  So, quickly in my head I am trying to count how many items I have. 

 

Today I'm wearing my black and white dress to work, I can wear it again next month.

 

Let me try to list some that I know I can wear.

 

1-  Blue circle flowers shirt

2-  Black and white big floral print dress

3-  Pink vine dress

4-  The yellow top I made a long time ago, I think it was my "first official shirt"

5-  The" First Dress" I made last year

6-  The Pink black floral dress

7-  The ugly mini aodai --- I'll have to find something else to replace this one

8-  Hippie flower peplum top

9-  Blue peplum top  --- OK, this will replace the ugly mini ao dai

10- I have the first black and white dress called "unzip my dress"

11- I have the blue green collar dress but can't wear it, after I washed and dried it, it shrunk to children's size

12- Oh, I forgot my purple half circle dress, yay!!!

 

OK, this is good now.  I have 10 things to wear.  Maybe from now til then I'll make more and can wear more.  Yay!!!

So excited!!!  Now I'm ready!

 

 

I gave 2 shirts away to my sister, the black and red peter pan collar one, and the "new job shirt" one. 

 

Now I'm excited!!!

 

Maybe I'll cheat and make a simple nightgown for me to wear, it counts too right?  LOL  haha
