Lots of folks criticize the US for historical take-overs, wars and expansion, but seem to overlook the actions of Hawaiians, against Hawaiians in the Islands. According to Manifest Destiny, the peo…

I've always liked clothes. I learned to sew because It made it possible for me to have more clothes on my budget ( not something possible these days.) I kind of gave up on being fashionable when I got so overweight and underfunded. For some reason I became interested in buying some boots and trying the skinny- pants-tucked-in-boots trend. I am concerned that skinny pants on my wide body may be a fashion don't - but I am going to give it a go. I ordered a couple of tunic tops, some skinny black jeans and then set out to get boots. That's when the trouble started. I went to DSW with my coupon and none of the boots would zip up. I had forgotten about the large calf issue. Even when I was at my slimmest I had narrow feet, small ankles and shapely but muscular calfs. Now they are even larger. I headed to the computer and shopped and shopped. No one had my size in a black boot in the style I want. I had ordered all those clothes with the boots in mind - I have to find boots! I expanded my search and discovered some different terms for what I need and found a few pair on the Zappos site. I couldn't tell for sure from the descriptions and review which pair was going to fit best so, due to their free shipping and returns policy, I ordered two pair. This was on the night before Thanksgiving. On Friday morning FedEx delivered a huge box with the boots inside. Ally was home and helped me pick the right pair, I returned the others this morning and now I await the rest of the outfits. Hopefully I won't look silly, especially since the boots were quite a bit more money than I would normally spend! That Ally didn't recoil in horror when I tried them on with my stretchy slim leg jeans makes me think I must have looked okay. I am being taken out for a birthday lunch later this week and I hope to fit in with my stylish sisters for the occasion.

Download the FREE Ombre Puff Quilt Pattern here! If you've been around for any amount of time, you might've seen my Puff Quilt that my grandmother made for me. I love this thing SO much. She used various scrap fabrics and clothing to create this very dense, yet very snuggly quilt. . . . When I look at this quilt, I see something new each time. Recycled tablecloths from the 80s, pieces of my grandfathers button-down shirts, left-over fabrics from previous quilt projects. The list goes on. Some fabrics are used multiple times within the quilt, while other fabrics are only represented once. I love looking over all of the puffs and finding all of the similarities and differences between the squares. . . . My Granny made this for me when I was 7 years old. I absolutely LOVE that she created a tag for this quilt. I also love that she referred to the quilt as a
