Wardrobe Colors

It's already been decided that one of my wardrobe colors shall be gray. I think charcoal gray. I think. And the 2nd color shall be navy blue. I decided on this because the Petite Plus Shapely Shirt that is my current work in progress has navy blue in it and when I tried it on for fitting (It won't button at the hips and for some reason I added length where it's not needed, but I won't go into that right now) I couldn't help but notice that the color looks great on me. Then, this morning I wore dh's dark blue bathrobe (mine's in the wash), and it looked great on me, too. I think we have a color winner.

The third color I think will be camel. This is based on a comment in Forty over Forty where the author says that honey-blondes look good in honey-leather accessories and camel color. It's a matter of carrying your natural (I'm a natural blonde--honest!) coloring through into your clothing and accessories. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the possible combinations of camel with the navy and the gray, but I can resolve that through swatching, which will be my next step.

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
