For my 40th Birthday I bought tickets to the Bon Jovi concert. I really hate crowds, but John isn’t getting any younger and neither am I. So I had to do it. This was probably the fifth concert I have ever attended in my life. I didn’t know what to wear since it was still …
I have a love-hate relationship with Jumpsuits. This pattern has been on my to do list for a very long time. Jumpsuits don’t always look good on me, but this one does and I love it! This is Mc Calls 7167 view D. I cut a size 6 for the bodice and a size 10 for …
