In Between Shoulder Pads and Halter Tops

That’s where I’m at.

Clothing wise.

Too old for the juvenile section.

Too young for the women’s section.

Some where in the middle.

Kind of like a no man's land.

So, I’ve taken to making some tops for myself.

And they’re not too shabby.

Especially if your vision is far-sighted….

and you never look directly at the shirt.

The first top is a riff off of one of my favorite shirts of all time.

This green one:

Change May 2010 004

And my version.

It even has set in sleeves.

My friend who majored in garment construction or something similar made a pattern for a sleeve just for me.

I begged her to make me an entire wardrobe.

One measly sleeve pattern was the compromise.

I guess I need to hone my compromising abilities.

And this was the other side of the camera.

My miscellaneous tower to support the camera.

Which may or may not be why the photos are blurry.

And canning season is upon us.

I put up 16 half pints of strawberry jam,

6 pints of blackberry jam,

12 pints of green beans,

and our first ever sunflower seeds.

Salted and roasted.

And Bennett on a horse.

I know I’m biased, but you have to admit, it’s pretty adorable.

I’d like to know what you’re up to so feel free to comment.
