Let's talk skirts

I'm obsessed with skirts lately. Probably because the shape of my lower half makes buying pants a nightmare! I'm small waisted and fuller in the thigh area. Finding pants that fit both areas is quite impossible and I never go out and buy pants that I think would be worth the extra $ to take to a tailor.

So skirts are easy for me. Here's several @ Anthropologie that I'm drooling over right now:

The Alena Skirt, $88, style #18112011 - so light and airy, perfect for Spring and Summer

Scalloped Sailor Skirt, $88, style #023104 - cuteness to the max. I love the detailing around the buttons

Air Mail Skirt, $98, style #013193 - So whimsical, just what I'd expect from Anthro. John would probably love this skirt too, given it's theme.

I'll be back soon with a few more skirts. It seems like every day the website gets more new arrivals!

Craft Closet

I finally got my act together and turned one of our spare closets into a craft heaven. I have so many art supplies it's insane, and until very recently they were spread around the house.

Here's some photos of the closet progress. My pegboard door installed by me:

A close up of the fabric bags (thanks Anthro!) that I'm using to house my paint brushes:

The shelves (no photo yet) are stocked full of assorted junk and fleece-galore! I plan on making a sewing table that has wheels on it so that I can pull it out and tuck it away as needed. It sure will beat sewing on the coffee table in the living room!
