The un is peeking out today. I have the office window open and am loving the spring breeze.

Sorry, no pics from the rest of the weekend. The house is in full upheaval so it’s hard to get near a mirror without a pile of crap or a construction worker… The belly is getting big, as are the arms, the legs, the breasts, the chins… I was shocked to find out I only… Continue Reading Tuesday

Bad Allie. No pictures. So I got up early and ironed my two button-down shirts. Then I decided to go all Tracy Turnblatt on my hair and iron it as well. I used to do this in college and high school – the setting below wool on completely dry hair. Bend at the ironing board,… Continue Reading Thursday, First Week of October
Friday night I went to the 9:30 Club in DC to see Lionize and Galactic. Went with my husband, sister, my husband’s cousin and two other friends. It was a really fun show. It didn’t sell out, but as you see, was still well attended. We got a primo spot on the balcony right… Continue Reading Friday Night
Have you ordered anything else from Lands End Canvas? I am wanting to order a dress from there, but am a bit worried about the sizing. Lands End stuff can be really big! If you have, is it similar?
This is the scarf:

It is 27″ square. I fold it on the angle – one point to center, opposite point to center, fold again (like you do when you make a square scarf a headband). End up with a 3″ wide band. Tie a single knot in the center of the strip, then two on either side. The tips/ends I tie a very tiny knot at the tips just to close the loop.
OK, Allie, I don’t understand the 3 knot scarf trick…..it’s cute as hell, but what size was the scarf and where did you place the knots??? Sorry, but I need more visual help. Thanks! Glad to have you back, BTW. Missed you while you were “on sabbatical”.
I love your scarf idea! that is so cute! And you look so great today!
Cute idea for the scarf – I’ll have to try that out! Love the heels!
I have no idea how you stand in those shoes.
I love your trick with the scarf! very cute! you look great! ๐
