Redesign Time

This weeks reads

 
In all the whoha about the Sew Expo, I almost forgot to post these.  This week I picked up three books.  One-Yard Wonders...love, love, love it and will probably buy this one and add it to my sewing referance library.  So many great patterns, well written instructions, and easy to use.  I made and apron, Mookie's bag that I posted yesturday, another cute shoulder bag and a colapsable shopping tote.  Fun for the beginner sewer as well as experienced.  Great ideas for adults, kids, pets, and home.  Material World, I have been wanting to get for a while but didn't really find anything to inspire me.   The Pocket Stylist..looks to be a good read, haven't made it too far yet.  Basically it helps you fit your clothing choices to your body shape.  Similar to Nina Garcias Black Book of Style, ( what to get and why) but with more emphasis on fitting your body type rather than general must have pieces. 

Just got a email from the library and all my picks for next week have already arrived.  See you next week.

This weeks reads are making my head just rush with new ideas and thoughts.  Potterybarn styling is a total favorite of mine.  I love the thought and organization put into each room.  Just makes me want to redo everything. I'd love to get to the place where..I actually know where everything is, in my home.  Don't get me wrong, I'm very organized, but sometimes it would be nice to not have to scavanger hunt for a specific item.  Crafty Chica and AterNation are both wonderful..  easy to follow directions, using fresh ideas that you don't see everywhere.  I have several projects from each planned out.  BabyCakes offers wonderful easy to follow(without tons of ingredients) GF(gluten free) goodies.  We wanted to checkout this bakery in NYC on our last trip, but ran out of time.  I've got several goodies to try from this books too.  GfreeDiet, by Elisabeth Hasselback(and fellow seahawk fan!!) writes a very easy to read, down and dirty GF guide.  Found lots of good info and web resources.  Haven't watched the video yet, but how can it be anything but wonderful.   

GF UPDATE:  Still working on tons of research.  Found some great info on the General Mills website along with easy teen friendly snacks and meals.  Also found a list of easy GF snacks from the Gluten Intorerance Group these will be great for the whole family.  Kitchen is slowly becoming GF.

I am on another library binge.  These are my selections that came in this week.  Love, love "blogging for Bliss"...gave me some great ideas for my blog.  "Manolo's New Shoe's"  beautifully inspiring if you love shoes like Mookie and I do.  Movie, COCO..how can you go wrong with anything from this style icon.  The others were great to look at but no new project ideas for me.

Can't wait for my other selections to come in, have you read anything great lately?  Let me know.
