At JFK

Almost to NY JFK airport...the river looks like a piece of steel


In the lovely Jet Blue terminal at JFK...greasy food abounds!

The moon was full as you can see and the sky was such a pretty shade of lavender


Taxiing for about 25 minutes!! At least I had that moon to look at!

First Flight

Not nervous at all!!


The Air Veterans


This was Burlington at take off...hmm why ever would I want to leave this place??


Above the rain...so beautiful

My first (and only) completed pair!!

These are also Weathervane brand jeans, size 7. I just bought them last year so they are a little different style than the others. I saw a similar design to this applique on a pair of jeans that went for $425 on a designer jeans website. I sat down one night and put this applique on in 3 hours. The clouds are stuffed with cloth scraps to give them a little extra texture.

Back bottom of left leg

Back pocket close up. This was taken from a pair of Alicia's Gymboree jeans that she destroyed. I thought it was cute and slapped it on there. As I was sewing the top I thought it looked like a ruler so I made it look more like one!

Full back view. Was kind of blurry so I sharpened it but it still looks weird. There is a pretty dark purple ribbon I sewed around the waistband because they kept falling down with all the darn stretch they put in them these days! I like stretch in the legs but not the waistband.

This is on the front right knee. I wear through that knee usually first for some reason. I also cut the bottom hem off these because they were stupid long and I really like how they look without it. Slight fraying but its stretchy fibers so they are really white. The wash of these jeans is really dark blue.

Work in Progress...Slow but Sure!

These are my favorite jeans. I have had them for going on 6 years. They are Weathervane brand size 7 juniors. I have a love of clouds and I had seen that applique on jeans is selling for 400$ a pair so I could never afford them. I decided to try making my own! I have been at it for a few months and put almost then entire left leg together in 1 month and then my embroidery hoop snapped in half so I haven't been as zealous about it lately. Its a cheap hoop that I need to buy to replace it but I never think of it when I am in a craft store until I get home! Maybe today I'll go get one...Hard to find time to do these clouds with the kids here because each cloud takes at least an hour. Hope they fit me when I'm done!! If not maybe I'll try to sell them.

The front bottom view

Front with all clouds: some pinned, some appliqued

Back view. Going to keep the back simple and not go crazy with a million clouds!! Just the one on the pocked and the wrap around ones.

A Walk on the Bike Path

What a gorgeous day! I took Alicia for a walk in the stroller for about 3.5 miles. What a good workout! It was about 5:30 or 6 in the evening. Somehow I don't think the corn will be knee-high by Fourth of July...


I just liked this little cloud...Now that I've been in a plane I can imagine what it looks like close up!

Granny Leeshee

She wasn't quite ready for her closeup!

Alicia's new dress

I said "Smile" and this is what I got!!

Then she got sick of me asking her to stand up and show me how pretty she looked!

Melancholie...
