VITA-MIX!!!!!!

Last weekend, I saw a infomercial with Montel Williams. He was pushing a Healthmaster. I wanted one really bad. So I did my research and saw that it had bad reviews. Anyhow, I stumbled upon something called a Vita-Mix. After speaking with the rep at Vita-Mix, she explained the difference between the two machines. I ordered it on Monday, 3.22.10, it arrived on 3.25.10. Well....I LOVE IT. When I got it home I made a "green" smoothie. It was great, I don't think I cleaned my celery what well, it tasted kind of dirty. BUT....I was very happy with the results of my concoction. I wasn’t cheap, but from what the reviews say they last a long time. I want to use it for weight lose and health reasons.


I made a really great tasting carrot/cranberry drink. I used one handful of baby carrot and one cup of cranberry juice cocktail. It was GREAT!!!!

I am back.....

my trip...was full of drama....didn't need that. some vacation. will post some pictures....soon.

alterations...

monday they are calling for snow...again in philly. i will be doing my final alterations for the trip...

it's been a long time...

i am not a good blogger. several things have happened since I last blogged. we (me and my hubby) brought our first house. it's cute and a lot warmer then the apartment that we are living in now. only thing is that we settled on jan 29th, but haven't moved in yet. i've been busy sewing and packing and getting ready for our vacation. my husband is due to land in Trinidad in about 30 min. he will be in time to enjoy carnival for a few days. on sunday the 21st, I will be leaving to meet him in St. Vincent. it's a beautiful part of the caribbean...nice and mellow.

i've done some sewing, but not as much as I would have liked. I think it was poor planning on my part. I made 6 skirts and four tops...the one thing that I am impressed with is my girdle. it goes all the up under my bust. I look smooth all the way around. I can't wait to wear it with my wrap top and skirt. this will be a church outfit.

I will post pic of all of the things that I sewed for the trip.

take care!!!!!!

KWIK-SEW 3533

I was thinking about making this for my trip in Feb. I would only need one to wear to church. KS-3533.  I would not do the contrast, I'd would just use the same fabric that I may make the dress out of.....

Another follow-up for Simp 4076, view C

This pattern did not work for me. I made it again with a stretch rayon in a nice green. Even with my good bra on it was a disaster. WON'T BE MAKING THIS AGAIN!!!! EVER
