Looking for some MOJO to GOGO

So, I have the whole day free!!!  I should be in the sewing room but,

I'm a chillin this a mornin.  Haha. 

My family survived the 9+ inches Mother Nature dumped in T-town.  The snow started between 5-6 am.  I got off work at 7:15 am.  Here's a look at my drive home.

 

At this point we only had 2-3 inches on the gound.  When I woke the final count was 9.6 inches I believe.  I have a Chevy Astro Van, no longer made, but I love it.  My second Astro, the last one I bought used and drove for 10 years.  This one is going on 9 years bought brand new and I still love it!  It has all wheel drive and snow is no issue!

 

A note about my younger son. 

 

The boy has big feet.  My size 9 boot compared to his size 15 boots.  Yes, military issue.  He is in the ANG.  Go AirForce!

 

Owner of the Boots.  Looking good kid. 

MOJO to GOGO:  I am going to spend the rest of the day SEWING!!!  When I find my MOJO.  No I shall get sewing in the next hour.  Have lots to do.  First up, I need to ask my FB friends for a little help.  I need measurements for 8-10 year olds.  Just length of back - base of neck to waist and length of waist to floor. 

To get my MOJO started, that darn Jalisco, AGAIN.  I made this one last spring after my daughter washed the first one with a red reboso.  Yes, the original dress went from white to pink but with a tie dye effect.  The new Jalisco, just like the original.

JALISCO, BAILE!

 

I am taking my ipad with me to the sewing room so I can take pictures to post. 

Happy snow day sewing to YOU!

 

What's for dinner?

Veggie lasagna, that's what! I was suppose to layer it, but I didn't have lasagna noodles. So, I used small shells and mixed it all together. Looks good, yum!

I don't remember where I got this recipe but it was on line. Tomorrow I will try shrimp tacos from Pioneer Woman's blog. Sounds good too!

I wish I had more time to cook. . Someday. For now, happy cooking at your house!

Let's Talk Nayarette!

Let's talk Nayarette.

The new style is the orange on the far left, the dance is Sinaloa.  But we use the same skirt with satin blouses for Nayarette.  See the difference, the two to the immediate right look washed out.  The far right, torquoise is my other daughter's skirt.

Here is the whole costume.  The orange pattern really stands out.  The pink is nice, and we have lost the green red outfit in the back.  The black with red top is damaged.  We are looking to change all the costumes to large pattern skirt with satin tops. 

If you can see closely the tops have fitted sleaves.  Our instructor wants the bell type sleeve so that is why I am making new sleeves.  All the costumes except the orange are over 20 years old. 

I just let the hem out on the Orange costume, my daughter grew a bit.  I luckily put in a two inch hem so taking it out to only a .5" hem was easy.  I love this costume.  As I finish costumes I will post pictures. 

 

To anyone wanting help with sewing, contact me via my blog and I will get back with you.  I am always happy to share websites for the best prices in ribbon.  I usually buy my material locally.  I make my own patterns.  I use an old cheerleader pattern for the tops for both Nayarette and Jalisco. 

 

Happy Sewing!!
