I love to read. From Little House on the Prairie to Ann Rule's true crime stories. One genre I particularly enjoy is humor about women and home. Books by Jean Kerr, Teresa Bloomingdale, Erma Bombeck and Peg Bracken have their own shelf in my library. My physical library consists of 3 white melamine bookshelfs in my living room and hallway, but my virtual library is being planned. I'm adding a room to Chez Tamtay in which I will store my precious book memories. Until construction on my virtual library is complete I'm keeping some things in the sewing room. Here is one of them: Review of Merry Wives.
I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
