/perfume/perfumeScent of the Day (SOTD) January 22,2026
Today's Scent is Balmain Jolie Madam EDT and you think based on the bottle it would be this simple simpering type of scent. Its not by a long shot. Under all that politeness there's a dominatrix in there...lol Florals but a dank leather, pretty on the surface but also a s
/diggWill communities get a Wiki?
I'm asking because for the communities I have, they can be particularly helpful, especially for beginners who might be looking for supplies or places that are well reviewed and has the items they're looking for. I like to list sewing machine manufactures, Places to purchase fa
/sewingThere are reasons why I love the Vogue Sewing book
And it mostly has to do with the fact that the information can pertain to any pattern, commercial or otherwise.

Today's scent is Guerlain Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin (later renamed Feve Gourmand) My bottle was before the renaming, and just personal opinion, I don't think they smell the same. In my bottle I get much more rose than in the newer version. Then there's also that very lo
/perfumeScent of the Day (SOTD) January 20, 2026
Today's scent is Dame Perfumery Earth Mother. Some say it smells like Angel Lite or Lovely, and I guess both share notes, but to me, its really its own thing.

And this is where they are most of the day, being "watch dogs" 😉
/perfumeScent of the Day (SOTD) January 19, 2026
Today I'm wearing Chanel Bois de Iles, which I got for my birthday last year. There are definitely certain things I fall in love with over and over (especially true with Guerlains and Chanels) and this is one of them.
/sewingSewing Notions - Which ones do you keep in stock?
I apparently love buttons...lol I have tons and tons (and tons) of buttons, way more than whats in the image. In particular though I love older buttons because (to me anyway) they have tons of character. I especially love Mother of Pearl, though I refrain from purchasing new o
/perfumeQuestion of the day - What got you into perfumes?
For myself, it was my mother. She was an Avon Lady when I was a little kid until I went to college, so I got to help package things, wear things, so on. But I wasn't just about lady perfume, I was about ALL of it. One time I decided to wear my dad's Wild Country cologne.
/sewingZimmerman Inspired Dress Vogue Pattern V1934
When this pattern came out, so many had to have it. Its really gorgeous but oh wow, it takes a bit of work! https://simplicity.com/vogue-patterns/v1934 I made a size 18, which had to be adjusted because the waist is very very tight. I also changed some things about the
/perfumeScent of the Day (SOTD) January 18, 2026
I always have a hard time picking something out on Sunday I finally settled on Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germaine EDP. I don't wear a lot of it but wow, it packs quite the punch. I like to call it my potpourri perfume because its got a little bit of everything in it...lol

/sewingPost your sewing Machine!
A fun post: Whats your favorite sewing machine? Is it one you already have, one you want to have? I enjoy all my machines (not that many, just 3 + the overlocker) And admittedly I love them all. But my main machine is a Elna 790Pro, which is my daily driver, my ride or d
/sewingButterick Pattern B6852 - Shirts for her (me)
https://simplicity.com/butterick/b6852 I had this pattern and figured I would make it. In Palmer/Plesche manner, you get TONS of instructions and fitting information. I don't do tissue fitting but it can come in very handy for someone who's never fitted a pattern before (ton
/sewingShirts for him - McCalls M6044
https://simplicity.com/mccalls/m6044 I make lots of shirts for my other half (of course he also makes the request) because quite frankly he hates buying shirts because I usually have to do some sort of alteration. So, one of the things we agreed on was I make him shirts he
/perfumeScent of the Day (SOTD) January 16, 2026
Today's Scent is Chanel Le Lion. We woke up to a very ridiculous 39F in South Florida, and frankly I needed this. Normally I'd wear Coco on days like this as it gets so little wear, but I woke up craving this one.
/myogDog Collars - Martingales
Because I have greyhounds, we tend to use martingales for collars. I don't follow a specific pattern, I just kinda make one based on neck measurements. I replace collars about every 3 years if they make it that long (i.e., if the other half doesn't 'lose' them) I also reuse t
/perfumeScent of the Day (SOTD) January 15, 2026
Today's scent is one I haven't worn in a while, Caron Farnesiana. Its a cold day, and I just need the snuggly warmth of this one. Sweetish marzipan, lovely sandalwood and pillowy mimosa.

Gigi is the Brindle, Ivy is the black (really snowflake but you can't see them here)
/sewingSilk Coat using Simplicity S9854
I used a pattern. https://simplicity.com/simplicity/s9854 I always wanted a silk coat, so I made myself one. The pattern I used is very much oversized, which meant me going down to the smallest size in the pack. Anyway fabric was purchased from FabricmartFabrics The o
