Me Made May 2013

Sometimes I can be a day late and a dollar short. I did not realize that I needed to formally sign up for Me Made May 2013, but as it turns out, I was supposed to sign up before May 1st. Oh well, it's May 1st and I just signed up so I may not be officially counted, but I am going to participate whether I am part of the official count or not. At least I can say that I did make the commitment before May 1st and I did it here, for whatever that is worth :)
So, here we go, you may remember this little dress from a Fabulous Free Pattern Friday post. It was so warm today, rather unusual for this time of year, but perfect weather for this dress.  
I even had the perfect pair of shoes. Well, almost perfect. I rubbed blisters on my heels and had to call my husband to come and pick me up. There was no way I could walk to the train this afternoon. The price we pay for fashion, well, me anyway!!!
 And I carried this purse that I made a while back.
So, one day down and 30 more to go!!!! I commented on Sharon's blog, http://petiteandsewing.blogspot.com/, that this is having a rather interestiing effect on me as I want to go through my clothes and do a real purge. Maybe that's a good thing!!!

  2. Gorgeous dress and impressive bag. It will be interesting to see how this Me Made month affects your purge of the closet, I know there are a couple of items that I have previously worn never to be seen again :)

  4. Hi Rhonda, that is a very lovely dress - not gardening today, I take it! I like your take on the rules - the sort of thing I would be inclined to do, but I don't have enough me mades yet. Love the toenails!

  6. Very fresh and Summery - my MMM Day 1 was more sombre :( Hopefully the weather will pick up throughout the month and I can get some Summer, OK, I can go for Spring clothes!!

  7. WOWZA on that bag!!!! It's interesting that I started separating the me-mades from the RTW's in my closet this evening, making it easier to figure out what I'm going to wear for the month, and was thinking that I want to get a little more ruthless about either re-homing or upcycling my RTW.

    Spring Purge Fever must be spreading!

  9. Beautiful print and those shoes are the best! I forgot to sign up as well -- time just slipped away and before I knew it it was already May!
