Origins Make Up Reviews

I turn 30 next year.  I'm not worried about the number, but I don't like what age, babies, and so many sleepless nights are doing to my face-particularly my eyes.  Daddy Ali Cat has been notified that next July he will be purchasing filler injections for around my eyes. I also recommended that he start an HSA for my cosmetic procedures. 

I'm a huge proponent of any cosmetic enhancement.  I don't see it different than working out and eating healthy.  It makes me feel better about myself.  Vanity? Yes, it's my favorite sin.

Paisley Roots' All Spice Take 2

Back in September, I had the privilege of pattern testing for Paisley Roots' newest pattern, the All Spice.  For Ali's dress, I did the pin tuck pleats and the button up front. At the same time, I cut out a dress for Madeline but without the pin tucks and a zipper front.  Those pieces have been sitting on my cutting table for....over two months. I had some time yesterday, so I sewed it up!

It was 14F this morning.  Outside pictures were out of the question and I was rushed to get the girls off to school so I could blog about the dress before I started work.  Priorities!

Inside pictures are hard as it is, plus Madeleine wasn't being super cooperative....

















Went for a fun hem stitch

Vanity...

She loves the zipper!
